@ohdearvickie I hope so! Though I’m not sure how much merit money Vanderbilt gives out of the named scholarships. Any merit for me would likely just replace financial aid.
@albertsax I applied to Blair, do you know if everyone who was accepted received that email at the same time? I haven’t heard anything
@Ericksonra what instrument?
@ohdearvickie I play the trumpet!
@Ericksonra I play classical saxophone. I don’t know if all the early RD admissions went out at the same time, but I’m sure that nothing doesn’t equal a rejection. Good luck!
Anyone else receive Instagram follow requests from Vandy Engineering or Vandy student blog accounts? Trying not to read into it so would love to know if it’s common practice for them to look at their applicants’ social media accounts
does anyone know when decisions will come out (rd)? or have any guesses?
I’ve had numerous colleges request for me to follow them on IG–I think once you follow 1 college and the other colleges are somehow notified and then they start bombarding you to also follow them. Don’t read anything into it!
yeah the difference is I was not following Vanderbilt at the time, but i’m still trying not to read into it
@yknot9 I was following College X on IG. Then Colleges A, B, C, D, etc. started following me. It has nothing to do with whether YOU started following Vandy. You must have either liked something on IG dealing with Engineering or followed another school’s engineering department. And then Vandy Engineering started following you.
@iamnotaaron, in 2017 the decisions were released at 5:30 Central Time on Tuesday, March 28. In 2018 it was Tuesday, March 27, at 5:30 CT. If that two-year pattern adds up to anything, the likely date would be next Tuesday, March 26, at 5:30 CT… but of course it could be any another day.
At this moment they already finished the selection and prepare the notification? or still working on it??
Just found this thread! I was accepted through MOSAIC, and am so excited to meet the rest of the class
Good luck to everybody!!!
I actually called Vanderbilt to inquire if my son choosing to not apply for the CV Scholarship would in any way be seen as demonstrating a lack of interest (they said no, the scholarship and admissions depts do not coordinate in any way), and then asked if they knew the notification date yet. She said by April 1st.
I’d much prefer next Tuesday - fingers crossed!
@homerdog My best friend’s son applied to Vanderbilt ED2 as a double legacy and was denied. (He’d applied ED to Duke - also denied.)
I suspect legacy probably means a lot more when an applicant applies ED1. FWIW, this same student was just accepted to Emory and is deferred by UVA, so he’s a decent applicant though I don’t know his specific stats.
I really wish they’d get their act together and get us a date. They are risking losing our interest over here.
Those who are lucky enough to be accepted could help us all get some revenge by waiting to accept until late on May 1st! >:)
does anyone know on which date RD decisions were released last year?
I think the 27th.
