Vanderbilt 2023 RD Discussion Thread

when is the actual RD decision supposed to come out?

@bellab5 They haven’t said. In the past it was the last week of March.

For those of us waiting on CV answers, they may come today. I know it’s a long shot but, for the cost of just one extra essay, it was worth a try.

And for more portal nonsense, S19’s portal is now landscape instead of portrait. Ha! I’m guessing maybe that means a decision has been loaded one way or the other. A friend of mine who knows elite admissions in general thinks most decisions are made by now and about 20% of the kids’ apps are in committee to determine the last spots.

Yes, my daughter’s portal is landscape too. I thought I was feeling calm about all this until I saw that. These next few weeks are going to be interesting…

Do you guys have an estimate of how many students apply by the merit scholarship deadline and how many actually receive the CV?

Good luck, everyone!

Does anyone have any insight as to when RD decisions will b released?

@therealonessa about 150 kids get CV. I heard around 5000 apply. So figure out that nightmare percentage. @oRcHiD4 just read two posts up !!! You guys really need to read the whole thread before asking questions that have been asked a bazillion times.

@homerdog My apologies, pardon me

what does the portal mean by landscape and portrait? I don’t see the difference.

@singingbear you know how you can print documents portrait or landscape? Landscape is longer side to side. S19’s portal used to look portrait, skinny up and down. Now, each item in his app and the date are much farther apart. The date is all the way to the right of my computer screen. I’m thinking it just might mean that they’ve frozen the app. No more info can be added. Either that or a decision has been loaded. The page just looks differently formatted than it has for three months.

Will they send emails to everyone that applied for CV, or just the ones who receive it? Also, is someone who was accepted through MOSAIC more likely to receive a scholarship? I know Chancellors was already released but is MOSAIC any indication of CV?

@amiller1030 last year they sent emails around 5:00 CST to the kids who got the CV. Later that night, between 9-10:00, kids started getting their no emails. Also, people were upset last year because some kids didn’t get any email for another week after that and those were all no’s. But it left kids hanging and wondering if there was another batch of yes’s coming. I don’t know anything about Mosiac. Sorry.

Hello everyone! I apologize for being a bit clueless, but how are decisions released for the CV and Chancellor’s Scholarships? I applied for both. I haven’t heard from Vanderbilt at all so far. Since I applied RD (prior to the merit scholarship deadline, of course), I haven’t learned if I’ve been accepted yet.

@lawandphotos I only know about the CV and they send an email.

And if they are releasing that CV info today, then the kids with the awards may know something in eight minutes…

Ha. Nothing here. Chime in if anyone out there hears anything tonight!

what was the date that RD decisions came out last year?

@plue11 i believe it was the 27th so i think the rd results will come out the 26th this year

I haven’t heard anything, I guess CV decisions will most likely come out Friday then.

When was Chancellor’s released? I was under the impression that Chancellor’s and CV came out together. I applied to both and haven’t heard anything yet about either one.

Same boat. My daughter applied RD in October and applied to both Chancellor’s and CV. Haven’t heard a thing on any front. I’m not really expecting her to get them, but it would be nice to hear something soon so we can put it to rest either way.
