<p>They do use a rolling admission. Only people who have been accepted are posting. Those who get rejected will likely be less excited to post the news. If you are not flat out rejected they will put u on a wait list; they are not going to just put you off until may and leave you hanging. Some peoples applications have yet to have been looked at and some are currently being looked at- hence still in “evaluation.” So Riedy will probably get his decision in the second batch next week. If you dont cut it you will be rejected. If you do cut it, you will be accepted. If you maybe cut it, you will be waitlisted.</p>
<p>yeah I guess… finished my app in early January, maybe next week I’ll get the answer. So far got not a single AD, I’ve just been under too many pressures recently. Plus the false alarm of UNC yesterday…</p>
<p>I applied to Peabody. From American University, originally from the kansas city area. College GPA 3.6ish. High school stats less than impressive, 3.6/3.5 27 ACT. </p>
<p>I had good recommendations though. I worked in a homeless shelter last semester tutoring children and was on the debate team. </p>
<p>oh, and it was in a big envelope with Vanderbilt down the side</p>
<p>Thanks for the info re: last year’s thread… saved us all a lot of time and effort… and sounds like some very valuable information. You presented it well also!</p>
<p>@transfermeow I sent in my app on Jan. 4th, but I am applied for CAS econ. I have similar stats to you hs gpa 3.5 act 27 and college gpa 3.63. Hopefully I’m in too.</p>
<p>Hey everyone, I just found I got in! The letter was sent to my house in MA. I am so happy because I absolutely hate the university I attend right now and was waitlisted at Vanderbilt last year. Best of luck to all of you! xx</p>
<p>Whoo hoo! accepted with a 3.6 college gpa in 45 credits or so and 2.0! highschool gpa from israel!.I am proof that you can make it with a lousy highschool diploma!</p>
<p>Economics/math major, 2180 SAT, 3.75 GPA, 6-month full-time work experience at a financial company, Resident Assistant, English writing tutor, international student (though transferring from a US college). </p>
<p>I’m in Mass right now. Oh, and I did get that fake admission e-mail. Wondering if there’s some correlation after all.</p>
<p>Blah…wait-listed. I live right outside of Washington, D.C and received the envelope today. Here are my stats:</p>
<p>Institution: William & Mary and another institution–my GPA is split Applying as: Sophomore, Math major College GPA: 3.94, sent in all As for mid-term report. SATs: 2250 SAT I - 680 CR, 780 M, 790 W 12 Essay; 770 Math II, 710 U.S. History</p>
<p>Comments, Concerns, Thoughts: I’m bummed…thought I had a good chance. I read on Vandy’s website that it reserves the right to practice “need-aware” admissions, meaning one’s ability to pay will be factored in the admissions decision. I have a rather low EFC–less than $5,000–so maybe that played a role in today’s unfortunate news? Oh well…best of luck to all–I hope everyone receives good news (unlike me, lol)!</p>
<p>Doesn’t Vanderbilt take pride in their completely need-blind admissions process? I’ve heard that and read that several times both officially and unofficially. One of the top administrators at Blair (the music school) told parents at the reception dinner that financial aid wouldn’t be even looked at until the student was accepted. I hope I don’t get shafted because of my financial aid. My FAFSA score is less than 300…</p>
