questions about vandy app

<p>hey on the vanderbilt app they just use the common app, and on their supplement i didn't see any additional essays, so all i need to submit is the 2 essays in the common app and im done? I would love it if that were true, no essays!</p>

<p>Also about vanderbilt, is it a good school if im aspiring to go into business or law-school?</p>

<p>It really depends upon where you want to practice. Here in the South, employers seeing Vandy on a resume is akin to HYPS in other parts of the country. In fact, in many cases here Vanderbilt is considered preferable to say UChicago, Dartmouth, WashU, or Columbia b/c its so much more recognizable.</p>

<p>ok and are there no additional essays on the supplement??</p>

<p>i think you're right OP as they made some small changes in the app this year</p>

<p>"in many cases here Vanderbilt is considered preferable to say UChicago, Dartmouth, WashU, or Columbia b/c its so much more recognizable."</p>

<p>i'm pretty sure it's safe to say that in the southeast...it's more preferable in every case to those schools</p>

<p>but let's not start saying vandy is a regional school either. while the majority of alums were at least from the southeast if not still living there (hell, why would you leave it?), it's a name that ring bells for business and law throughout the union</p>

<p>what about for medicien?
I'm going for ENGAGE</p>

<p>and yes, the Vandy app is one of my easiest apps. No essays on their supplement, just the 2 on the common app. But if you apply for scholarships, you will have to write other essays</p>

<p>Is there a way on the Vandy website to see if all materials have been received and the application is complete? Can't seem to find that.</p>

<p>They should have sent you an email about interviews. I kind of interpreted that as meaning they have everything.</p>

<p>dsm-
Yes, ds got the email asking about an alum interview. Still would be helpful to confirm that the application is complete.</p>
