Potential Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholars

Thank you! I’m not counting on it, but I just want closure haha

I checked Vandy’s Yik Yak (which is very resourceful) and I think they’re having a snow day as well. Should this affect our notification?

Some roads are closed and there is an ice warning until 12. Staff members are encouraged to take proper precautions, so it may affect our decision times.

It may. Campus is partially shut down, but I suspect unless there is an IT issue and that staff is not available, the emails will still go out. (If today is the really the date scheduled.)

I called the office of financial aid and scholarships and asked the lady if she could confirm whether or not the decisions would come out today. She mentioned that they’re supposed to come out mid-March (which is what Vandy says but they always come out the 5-7th) and that they are experiencing inclement weather so that might affect it. But knowing that they always come out around this time and that there are staff at the office, I don’t think the weather will affect the decisions. I suppose they’ll come out whenever they were originally scheduled to.

@Jacobdf96 Thanks for calling!

If the staff is in the office I’m sure they’ll come out whenever they were scheduled to. Whether that be today or tomorrow. (Hopefully today)

Anybody heard anything yet?

No

I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that they won’t be coming out today. They were previously released starting from 1pm central time. Seeing how it’s almost 3pm and no one has received anything, my bet’s on tomorrow.

Vanderbilt is on Spring Break this week. I wonder if that will delay the emails.

I don’t think spring break will delay it. In years past, Vanderbilt has been on spring break but still announced its scholarship winners.

I guess it’s going to be tomorrow!

I’ve gotten multiple emails today from Offices of Admissions from other colleges and my heart dropped every time. Here’s to hoping we get one from Vandy tomorrow and that it bears good news!

School for me is cancelled yet again, so I guess spring break starts early in Mississippi. Ironic that spring break begins early because of ice, though. Anyways, if today is the day, good luck to everyone! Don’t forget to post asap if you get your email.

I get my hopes up every time I see that I have an email. Good luck to everyone. Really hope that today is the day!

I really hope the notifications are today because I need to stop my wishful thinking that I can afford a great school like Vanderbilt.

@ClassicalCollege‌ me too. I can’t afford it without this scholarship, but I keep holding on to the chance that I’ll get it. I either need that to become a reality or I need to get back to reality.

@ClassicalCollege‌ @JacobDF96‌ I agree. I just want to know so I can see if Vanderbilt is an option and go from there.

Why do I get so many useless emails on the day I am waiting for an email. :frowning:
