******OFFICIAL****** Vanderbilt RD Class of 2017 Decisions

<p>Rejected! Not surprised.
I’m in norcal.</p>

<p>D was waitlisted into the Music Ed/Performance program. There are only 10 slots for that program in each Freshman class and the dean told us when she auditioned that they offer to 20 applicants to get that yield. She was on the first audition date for RA (and the last for ED) and there were more Music Ed applicants auditioning that day alone. We are in upstate NY. She has a 4.0 gpa, 32 ACT, 9APs and two Dual Enrollment classes at SU. Guess they just didn’t need a music ed/ bassist this year. She probably will turn down the spot on the waitlist as she is already pretty happy with her options.</p>

<p>Accepted here in NoVA.</p>

<p>34 ACT/15 AP’s/URM</p>

<p>^stanfordboundkid, Are you attempting humor? Or is it that you don’t understand mail processing at all? (Mail is a bit like gravity: size & weight differences by themselves, at least between envelopes, don’t affect delivery speeds.)</p>

<p>Accepted here in Indiana, too. Just got it.</p>

<p>DS Waitlisted (Engineering)</p>

<p>34 ACT, 4.45gpa, 6 APs (all 5s), 800 SAT II Physics, 800 SAT II Math 2, Dual-enroll classes at university (Calc 3, DiffEq), paid internships at GE, marching band, lots of ECs, etc. Don’t know if this will make his decisions easier or harder…</p>

<p>It would be far better actually if the rejections got there first. They can send then all priority or neither priority. Nearly every school in the country seems capable of notifying students of their status in a more humane way than Vanderbilt’s system. My own kids are settled with top choice so my reaction is not personal but a function of reading posts by anxious kids. There is no reason for this at all.</p>

<p>And yeah, stanfordboundkid, I’m dumb. I think empathy is a good quality. Glad your Stanford Bound and mine aren’t!</p>

<p>I agree with you Insidelane, THERE IS NO REASON FOR THIS!
We are anxious and now fighting!!!</p>

<p>And kendamon, yes how wonderful is Rochester! The personalized letter identifying some aspects of each kid who can add to the Rochester community. I thought it was such a nice communication from a school to a student. It warmed my heart!</p>

<p>Yes, I think URochester is a great choice. It has so much to offer. My child is also settled in with a top choice but for some reason this waiting is still getting me anxious!</p>

<p>@exstudent they only email international students who live abroad. I am an international student in Nebraska and I am going through the same wait (very nervous). In my country I would have received the actual letter after 3 or 4 weeks at least. The postal service doesn’t work as well in all countries (it pretty much sucks in mine).So I understand why they would notify international students abroad in a different way.
BUT I like your idea about emailing everyone first and then following up with letters… the wait is killing me (AND I’m probably gonna end up rejected anyways)</p>

<p>Accepted! The package had no financial aid info though. Does anyone know when/how we will hear about that?</p>

<p>Congrats, castielyse. Where are you located?</p>

<p>Long Island, New York!</p>

<p>@frzz, have you heard of others in morris county who have been notified? i have still yet to receive anything, which is bizarre because both an acceptance or a rejection should have been delivered by now.</p>

<p>I haven’t received anything, either…neither have my two friends, both of whom already got in through MOSAIC. We’re in Missouri so Nashville is pretty darn close, relatively speaking, and I’m pretty confused about why it’s taking so long. Whatever it is, it does NOT appear to be coordinated with acceptances and rejections of waitlists.</p>

<p>Accepted! in chicago. And got a really good financial package too.</p>

<p>Corvenzo, did you receive your financial package with the acceptance package?</p>

<p>Waitlisted. I didn’t want to go so I suppose it worked out! <em>^▁^</em></p>
