hi, FWIW, last week I emailed my daughter’s admissions counselor, and was told that decisions usually are announced on 3/5. However, I just emailed again, and was told only that responses are given in the “usual time frame” (as in the past). So, who knows.
My concern at this point is that Vandy has little incentive to give the scholarship to kids who are already committed through ED. In other words, most scholarships are sort of marketing tools to entice RD to enroll. A friend in the college advising business confirmed this.
@EDparent2019 that’s why this is so important to a lot of the RD kids! ED students are already locked in, but the only reason I didn’t apply ED is because we can’t afford Vandy without this scholarship!
@ClassicalCollege I’m applying to College of Engineering too. For mechanical engineering. I really hope we don’t have to wait until next week.
I totally understand. It was a big leap for us to apply ED, since we are waiting for financial aid info. My fingers are crossed for everyone.
If it was by location, I would have heard by now.
Where do you guys see that results start rolling out by 1? I checked last years thread and the earliest post was around 3 CST.
I’ll admit to being wrong if it means we get our notifications today
DS received his notification last year March 7th Friday at 2pm, CST.
There is hope, yet! I also looked at last year’s forum, and it seems like there was a wave of people posting right after 3.
@EDparent2019 a good friend of mine applied for this specific scholarship last year, and she was an ED II applicant and she received the CV scholarship. Your daughter does have a chance!
@EDparent2019 I’m sorry, I just now fully realized what you were saying in your first post! Surely your child’s application won’t be treated differently because it’s ED. What you said does make sense though…
I am sure ED and RD applicants are considered equally.
Is the timing the same for Chancellor’s Scholarship results?
While you wait…… here is an excellent recent post by an international CV and Honors Scholar, Class of 2018. Good luck to you all! http://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/insidedores/2015/02/the-college-scholars-program/
Anyone heard anything yet?
I’m not expecting to get this (only 33 ACT), but stranger things have happened, I suppose. The waiting is killing me!
I am guessing not today. Don’t you think someone would have heard by now?
I think there’s still a possibility we could hear today. But if no one has heard by five I’d say its not today.
