What are some of the other schools you guys applied to? B-)
tbh haven’t sent in any other applications… have them done but haven’t sent them in yet. Do you think it would be smart to send them in asap? They all have January 1st deadlines! I was planning on waiting until after the 15th and save a few hundred dollars in application fees (:
I would say as long as the applications are completed, it is probably wise to just wait until you find out from Vanderbilt! What are some of the schools that you are interested in? 
Does anyone know if the decisions definitely come out on the 15th or simply by the 15th?
@Vandy12020 I really liked Hopkins, Duke, Tufts, Lehigh, and Villanova! What about you?
How much does our “intended major” play a factor in the admissions process? Obviously the school of choice makes a difference but inside the school, does that make a difference? Can’t remember what Vandy asked for on the common app haha
I have already applied to Georgia Tech, University of Tennessee Knoxville, and University of Alabama Tuscaloosa. Hopefully I will be accepted to Vanderbilt, but if not I will apply to Rice and Washington University in St. Louis.
@formychapter2 I’m not sure about the other colleges, but I know in the College of Engineering it isn’t a factor.
Nice! I really liked Northwestern, UVA, and University of Washington in St. Louis to name a couple! Hopeful that I’ll get into Vanderbilt though – it’s hard to believe that decisions are right around the corner.
oops, Washington University in St. Louis, not University of Washington in St. Louis haha
Hi! Just joining now but been reading this since the start! Are we set on the decisions coming out Dec 11 or should I be mentally preparing until the 15th?
@dolphindancer37 Based off of the past few years, I would say that the chances of the decisions coming out on the 15th are slim. Expect the 11th or 12th.
It’s crazy to think that we only have to wait about two more weeks to hear our decisions! Seems like just yesterday it was a month and a half away.
I don’t think we’re set on them coming out on the 11th, though I may be wrong. I think we should prepare for the 15th, but hope that it comes anytime before that! Has anyone called the admissions office to ask?
My other top schools are Brown, Harvard, and Pomona! Hopefully I get into Vandy though and don’t have to worry about it (:
Does anyone know around what time they release the decisions?
^ if the decisions do come out on Friday, I’d guess towards the closing hours of the day 5-6pm ish
If the decisions do come out Friday, I hope they aren’t sent during school hours. I’d be way too tempted to open it and either be totally ecstatic or completely heartbroken LOL. To be honest, I’d be crying hysterically either way.
@waffledancerxox that’s my worry!!!
usually the decisions for these types of schools (comparable to duke, yale, etc) release at 5 or 6 pm, and from what I have seen on their website too, they usually post the day before about the decisions! Hopefully, it’s on Friday!! Also, does anyone know if geographic location matters? I know some schools look to increase the diversity by taking students from the west if the school is on the east, or students from the south for northern schools. Is that the case with Vanderbilt?
