<p>Gwashfadzy, I am so sorry to hear you weren’t accepted. SLU is a great school, though! My son goes to school in Fenton. I know Crystal City very well, my mom taught special ed at the elementary school for years!</p>
<p>I haven’t recieved anytign yet:( but my twin brother just got accepted. Does anyone know if they send out acceptances first and then rejections?? Will I get it on Monday:(?</p>
<p>@momstl that’s awesome! I’m confident that if I get good grades freshmen year at SLU I will have a strong chance to transfer to ND. Hopefully I will be classmates with your son sophomore year. it will be nice to know someone from the same area. Right now I’m just trying to come to terms with my rejection and prepare for SLU.</p>

<p>Meston- how did you happen to be able to apply to all these schools if you were accepted to Vanderbilt ED? I know they require kids to promise they will withdraw all their other applications if they are accpeted ED</p>
<p>Texasmomm, I was just going to ask Meston the same thing. Seems like someone lacks a bit of integrity what with the signed statement applicants are asked to do.</p>
<p>It’s OK to apply a few EA schools and one ED school at the same time. However, a student is not supposed to apply to RD schools after you have been admitted to his ED school. Meston could have applied to some RD schools before the result of the ED application came out, but it is a really rare situation.</p>
