<p>Is it true they are mailing early decision letters on Friday?</p>
<p>the Vandy admissions blog (comments section) says they are trying to mail this Friday but who know for sure?</p>
<p>Maybe they tried to get EDII done early to acquire more time for the bazillion RD applicants.</p>
<p>i cant believe the day is almost here! Even if I don't get in, this entire process has been something that I will never forget!</p>
<p>I visited the Vandy campus (again!) yesterday and just walked around the Peabody campus..i cant help but fall in love with this school! I cant see myself elsewhere</p>
<p>good luck to the ed2ers!</p>
<p>I am praying for everyone to get accepted.
Do you all think the ED II applications were fewer than last year?</p>
<p>I think the number of apps will be around the same as last year (slightly more, of course)..but i think they are admitting around 40% of the class through ED, so its great news for us :)</p>
<p>Anyone notice the topic reads Early Early Decision II?</p>
<p>^lulz. </p>
<p>"but i think they are admitting around 40% of the class through ED, so its great news for us "</p>
<p>Hold on there buster. EDI already admitted ~40%, so it is very likely that EDII will have a really low admit rate, since they have to make up the class of 40% ED, and most of that 40% is already made up from the EDI kids. </p>
<p>That sentence probably needed more than one period, but too bad.</p>
<p>hilsa,
You are drawing the wrong conclusion. The decision this year means that Vanderbilt is planning to admit 40% of the class through early decision pools; i.e., approximately 600 spots will be filled by those applicants. Since you don't know how many people applied through ED1 and precisely how many were accepted, you are likely wrong. in the post above about the ED2 acceptance rate. It would be an extreme departure for the acceptance rate for ED2 to be lower than the RD acceptance rate.</p>
<p>I would assume 150 kids would get accepted EDII.</p>
<p>Last year, ~1000 applied ED, so I only assumed this number went up a bit this year. So 40% of that is already 400-450 kids, leaving around 150 spots left for EDII. I did not say the EDII admit rate would be below the RD admit rate. The RD admit rate is a figure I'm scared to death to know about.</p>
<p>Though, you're right. EDII might have an applicant pool of only about 400 or so, which would make that acceptance rate pretty high.</p>
<p>Actually last year 1133 kids applied EDI. This year they said slight increase so let's say 1150 even though it was probably more. 45% (the ED1 acceptance rate) of that would be 518, meaning 518 were already accepted. Leaving space for 110 EDII if they are planning to accept 40% of the class total during ED rounds. I'm not sure how many applied EDII last year, but I'm sure it would be more this year, so I really don't see how the acceptance rate could be very high.</p>
<p>Yes, that's what I was trying to say.</p>
<p>Though, with a slight increase, I would expect it to be more than 17 kids. Probably 1200 or 1300 for EDI.</p>
<p>I just checked and it looks like last year there were about 300 EDII apps. So even if it stays the same that's not so great for EDII people. Yeah hilsa I agree it was probably more like 1200 or 1300. That really doesn't leave much space for EDII people I'm so happy I did EDI!</p>
<p>Congrats, dsr7291. :)</p>
<p>And good luck to all your EDIIers!</p>
<p>I'm so conflicted in this Vandy forum. I'm genuinely happy for the people who get in. Really. And yet it always makes me feel so anxious and stressed about my RD decision. To be honest, you guys will know my decision the day I get it. But more evidently, you will know the despair, pain and anguish, or the euphoria that will result from the decision.</p>
<p>I should've applied EDI, except I couldn't have.</p>
<p>An extra hundred people applying to ED is not a "slight" increase at all...
I really think about 30 more people applied ED.</p>
<p>i'm so afriad to see the EDII numbers..</p>
<p>im even more afriad to see the acceptance/rejection letter..</p>
