No confirmation email?

Hi,

I submitted my application to Vanderbilt and got the common app’s confirmation and payment confirmation. However, I’ve received no confirmation from Vanderbilt. I need this confirmation to apply to merit scholarships. How long does it generally take? The admissions office is closed and won’t reopen until Tuesday, two days after scholarship apps are due–what can I do if I don’t get the email? It’s only been a half hour but I’m getting nervous.

Hey I’m in the same boat as you…I feel stupid for not sending it in earlier now…I’m going to compose my essay now (the prompts are online) and email the admissions office explaining my predicament and pray that they have mercy. I understand I shouldn’t have waited so long but it sucks that I might not be able to even send in an application for scholarships

mynameisjakob, I’ve got some good news! I emailed the financial aid office, and even though they said there was nobody in, the director replied and said that it’s all right if you just send the application in once you get the myAppVU, so it seems we’re alright. Phew.

Can students make myAppVU account on their own and upload the merit scholarship applications?
