Thanks peeps

So, is anyone on here who applied for financial aid and doesn’t have “the tab?” Is that a true indicator? And by the way, I am a mom and my child knows I am asking…and this is a Vanderbilt forum.

I could believe that Vanderbilt wouldn’t notify applicants this year if they hadn’t notified a day earlier for both Early Decision deadlines. I don’t think it’s likely that both the RD applicant pool is so much larger and Vanderbilt is so concerned about server issues as opposed to years past that admissions would release decisions without warning. It’s likely we won’t hear today and, barring the posting of a new admissions blog entry, we probably won’t hear tomorrow either. But I encourage everyone to relax, let 4 o’clock Eastern come, and if nothing changes then take a rest for the remainder of the day.

About the tab: I have it, along with what seems like everyone else on here who applied for FA, and like others who have said this a few pages back, my stats are not super competitive for Vandy. I feel confident in saying that the tab is something that applies for everyone who had applied for FA. I guess there’s always a chance that it means we’re in, but with almost everyone on this forum saying they have it, I sincerely doubt it means anything.

and I just have to add this, because rudeness really bothers me, parents have every right to be here as they will be paying for their children to have the privilege of attending schools like Vanderbilt.

@jacobpilawa Last year Vanderbilt emailed applicants 2 days before the RD decisions were posted to tell them the date and time.

i think decisions might be out today though cuz for the colleges that released decisions recently, it was always during the time in which its CC thread was most active haha

Well, we’ll know in an hour whether or not it’s coming out today!

I’ll be at work. :frowning:

Yeah I’m just saying that parents on CC are a big reason for why it has such a negative reputation elsewhere. Not necessarily you guys, but a lot of parents are really stuck-up and condescending on here. I came off a bit strong at the beginning and I apologize for that

@jacobpilawa Not to be weird, but I’ve seen you on so many threads and I want you to know that I’m rooting for you! :slight_smile:

Am I the only one who remembers the Financial Aid tab we’re making a fuss about from way back when they couldn’t have possibly made a decision? I always took it to mean “This is your application checklist for undergraduate financial aid for the 2016-2017 year”

@jetynz Thank you so much!!!

15 minutes I guess

I did not apply for FA and do not have anything in the financial aid tab. All it says is, “No aid information is available at this time.”

hopefully. fingers crossed!

I have a feeling this will be extremely anticlimactic

@Rafalala Without a doubt. :stuck_out_tongue:

i doubt it’s today honestly, but if it is, good luck fam

Good luck to everyone if it is today! If not I’m hoping for sometime this week!
