Update on Vandy Fiasco: I got in--with a full scholarship

Colleges and Universities A-Z Vanderbilt University

Hey. If any of you guys remember, I’m the guy whose dad sort of tried to ruin his son’s future and withdraw his Vandy app. I switched it to RD, so I thought I wouldn’t get in, but behold! I got admitted to the school with a full scholarship! I’d like to thank everyone at CC for their kind words, and go 'Dore!

@dankjewel
How did you find out for RD already? Did you get in through MOSIAC?

That’s fantastic! Good luck to you!!!

Are you 18? Will your parents let you go?
(The “graduate in 2 years” idea was insane BTW, and impossible to pull off due to the way majors are sequenced.)
Also, how do you know (since official letters haven’t been sent yet), what’s the name of your scholarship, and what does it cover? Did your parents fill out FAFSA+ CSS PROFILE?

The Cornelius Vanderbilt scholarship?

11

Peabody Dean’s Achievement Scholarship apparently

12

Cool. Full tuition?

13

YES

14

CONGRATS! I’m planning on applying next year! Go Dores!

15

Are your parents going to pay for your room/board/books/etc? I believe that it is a tuition scholarship only.

@Eeyore123 My dad is the guy that hates Vandy. My mom and I both cried and she told me she was going to do whatever it takes to send me there. Also, it’s cheaper than UVA now :slight_smile:

Since your dad is moving and your mom will support you, is she going to stay in TN or VA and how will she be able to help you?
You have to look at everything and make a careful plan.

@MYOS1634 She doesn’t know yet

Congratulations!! When did you find out about the Peabody Dean’s Achievement Scholarship? My daughter was really hoping that there is a chance that she might get one of these scholarships, so we are wondering if they have all been given out now. We have only heard of a couple of people receiving them so far, so we didn’t know how many of these scholarships are given each year and if they are all given at the same time? Do you know what they are looking for when they award this scholarship? I am so glad that this scholarship made it possible for you to be able to go to your dream school!!
