<p>what do you tihnk? do i have a chance?</p>

<p>When it comes to GPA and class rank, Vanderbilt looks at this in relation to your school. I also would think that one negative criteria would not disqualify you as your other stats are very good and ED is a plus. If your mid-tem grades are going to be higher, you should make sure they get submitted for consideration. Best of Luck!</p>

<p>there has to be more ED1ers out there!!</p>

<p>I applied ED :)</p>

<p>So, have any of you guys done interviews? Or planning on it?</p>

<p>Yea im going to on Nov 14, shouldn’t be too bad. I’ve heard Vandy interviews are typically pretty casual.</p>

<p>I applied! I’m sick with a fever right now so I’m too lazy to post my stats but I wanted to be a part of the community :slight_smile:
So Vandy says that we will hear back on December 15th, does that mean they mail out the letters that day? or does that mean we should hear back BY that date? </p>

<p>Only about a month away guys :slight_smile: get excited.</p>

<p>had my interview today - it was really casual and my interviewer was really down to earth, perfection.</p>

<p>I also had my interview today and it went pretty well. Just a imple conversation about my interest in vandy/extracurriculars.</p>

<p>im pretty sure it means (to aimeenard) that they send the letters by the 15th, but they’ve been known to send them a couple days earlier in the past.</p>

<p>how nervous is everyone on a scale of 1-10?? The worst part is I go to such a tiny school so EVERYONE knows I’m applying ED and EVERYONE knows that I’ll find out somewhere around the 15th so everyones going to ask me and if I get denied I’m going to be so sad and embarrassed :frowning: wahhhh</p>

<p>I can’t wait any longer!</p>
