<p>General Comments: i really put a lot of time and effort into my application and i the extra "Why Vandy" essay that i did was not only well written and a great story but showed my love for the school</p>

<p>i am SO excited to see all of you in August!! =)
and GOOD LUCK to everyone who hasn't heard!!</p>

<p>Did you guys get two letters - one for the decision and one for financial aid? I am just wondering what to look for in the mail tomorrow haha</p>

<p>man, only 3 letters so far. That doesn't make me too optimistic about tomorrow.</p>

<p>???Question: does anyone know if/when freshman orientation is???</p>

<p>Your "freshman orientation" will be the week before class starts. It's part of the VUcept program which lasts all first semester.</p>

<p>I didn't mind it the first month or so, then it became annoying. You'll enjoy it at the beginning for sure though.</p>

<p>no word in CA yet, those of you that received your acceptance letters, what was the date postmarked on the envelope, i.e. when was it mailed?.</p>

<p>Hey it was mailed on saturday
Good Luck</p>

<p>This is amazzzinnnggg. I, however, have a dilemma. Could go visit friends at Vandy and go to the bowl game, maybe spend New Year's in Atlanta or Nashville...or shred pow and go to this concert: (Which is supposed to be legendary) WIDESPREAD</a> PANIC WITH YONDER MOUNTAIN STRING BAND.</p>

<p>New classmates, are any of you going to the bowl game?</p>

<p>Alaster27; Congrats!! Way to represent Huntsville!</p>

<p>going to a measly concert (albeit a good one) versus going to vandy's first bowl game in 26 YEARS? does i even need to answer that one?</p>

<p>i recommend buying tkts through vanderbilt as that helps support the cause</p>

<p>I got rejected</p>

<p>Sorry about that Dardardelight, you have good stats so don't let this bring you down.</p>

<p>The letter is here (in New York), but I left it in the mailbox for my daughter to pick up when she comes home from school. It looks/feels like there's a return envelope inside. Is that a good sign?????</p>

<p>If its thick then she got accepted
good luck</p>

<p>What is that inside???</p>
