<p>^^ Yah, niether have I. I think when they decisions come, out they will probably email us, with a link to the login info. I know Northwestern is going to do it this way.</p>

<p>I am also curious how they determine the kids that go to Mosaic, is it based on interest shown, because I am afraid that the interest I have shown is marginal at best.</p>

<p>Is MOSAIC going on this weekend?</p>

<p>My Trinidad and Tobago friend is visiting Vandy this weekend and I was just curious if she was just randomly visiting or if she is there for MOSAIC.</p>

<p>Wow. 3 people from my school have received MOSAIC invites. I'm so jealous.</p>

83

<p>i didn't get a mosaic invite. do u have to be a urm to get one?</p>

84

<p>wait. i just read the rest of this thread and figured the answer out. i guess i'm just kinda worried cuz i haven't heard anything at all from vandy, except a little postcard saying they received my letter about a change of address. i just think its kinda wierd, cuz most schools (at least mine are) sending applicants emails and letters to keep them interested in the school, but vandy's not doing anything.</p>

85

<p>Yes, this is Mosaic weekend. I've been seeing groups of kids all over campus.</p>

86

<p>How many people get invited for MOSAIC?</p>

87

<p>I got a letter. What is it? I know I sound like a ■■■■■, but I’m not. </p>

<p>The letter begins with:</p>

<p>"Dear XXXXXXXXXXXXX,</p>

<p>Congratulatons! The Office of Undergraduate Admissions has approved your application for admission to the freshman class entering Vanderbilt University in the fall of 2010. You were selected from the largest, most accomplished pool in Vanderbilt’s history."</p>

<p>And the letter has a giant congratulations on the outside in all caps in black.</p>

<p>Okay, so that was just to avoid all the ■■■■■ comments.</p>

<p>What IS MOSAIC? I’ve never heard of it before. Do we have to pay something to go there? They said they’d reimburse travel expenses up to $100. The money isn’t important, but I just wanted to know if it was a real weekend, like not a reward that you pay for like those leadership conferences…</p>

88

<p>They said they would reimburse on a need basis… but otherwise I think it is a real weekend</p>

89

<p>So, like, would I have to pay them something to go? Like mail a check? And should I bring money for breakfast/lunch/dinner? </p>

<p>This whole MOSAIC thing is quite confusing for me. If you couldn’t already tell. :)</p>

90

<p>From the letter, it looks like they pay for everything except transportation</p>

91

<p>i just heard about this MOSAIC thing. i am a european applicant, currently living in my home country. i believe that i am considered as a URM. is vandy sending out invites to internationals too, or only to URM in the USA? thanks.</p>

92

<p>Accepted through the MOSAIC program! SO EXCITED! Vanderbilt is a school I am seriously considering attending!!! I’m not sure if I can attend the weekend yet though… CONGRATS EVERYONE!</p>

93

<p>Yay! This is very exciting. I didn’t know about this it was awesome to come home to the packet. I was really confused at first and then really happy! Congrats to all others who were accepted.</p>
