<p>I don’t have the best grades or test scores, but ED1:
GPA 3.63
ACT 28</p>
<p>I’m originally supposed to be a junior, but I started school early (kind of wish I would’ve stayed back).
But I have a lot of extracurricular activities and volunteer hours (something close to 400).
I really hope I get an acceptance letter on the 17th so I can end my college search process! :)</p>
<p>I got my letter about 3 or 4 days after the 15th. I live in chicago.</p>
<p>i am so nervous for my decision! i don’t have the best standardized test scores, but i have a high gpa and have taken 12 ap courses in addition to about 8 honors courses. i have excellent extra curriculars and a pretty unique essay. i applied as an hod major. any other ed1 hod majors? also, does anybody know the statistics for early decision peabody applicants? i know the statistics are a little different for peabody applicants versus a&s or engineering applicants because the applications are read more holistically, but i can’t seem to find any recent data.</p>
<p>From the Vandy admissions blog…</p>
<p>How will I know when ED I decisions are mailed? </p>
<p>Read the blog! I am updating in real time. In fact, as I type this I am waiting on the committee to call down the hall and let me know they are ready for me to present. I will post a blog as soon as letters are out the door and then you can start your countdown clock. We predict letters will be out the door on December 15th, but things may change so stay tuned.</p>
<p>agghhhh…they’re messing with our heads. Are they going to drop 'em early?</p>
<p>if they send it out later than the 15th i think i’ll lose it. i’ve been checking the blog every day since i read that comment</p>
<p>has anyone seen the ED threads for cornell/columbia? BRUTAL!! everyone is getting rejected… and they all look so qualified! PLEASE VANDY SEND LETTERS SOOOON</p>
<p>Thanks for the morale boost, manwithaplan…</p>
<p>i agree! i know someone who’s a super smart legacy at cornell that didnt get in and someone who was more than qualified for wash u that was deferred. getting worried!</p>
<p>Latest blog post…</p>
<p>“ED I committee is finished! It took five days and many many hours, but we think we’ve selected some out-of-this-world students to be part of our Class of 2015! We are in the phase currently where we make sure the decisions “make sense” and we are checking individual files. Letters may make it out the door on the evening of the 14th, but not before that. When I know, you’ll know.”</p>
<p>AHHHH</p>
<p>did anyone apply ED1 peabody?</p>
<p>Does anyone else compulsively check their blog? It just makes me freak out whenever I see a new post…</p>
<p>And no, I applied early 1 to A&S for theater…anyone else in theater out there?</p>
<p>So damn agonizing!!!
It finally hit me last week, and now that actual acceptances and rejections are coming back, it all seems so surreal. i think about every mistake I’ve made in high school, or something I could have done differently, and it’s driving me nuts!
Also, if/when I get rejected, I’ll be stuck doing like 6 supplements in a weeks time hahahah</p>
<p>I’m in the same boat, enjolias. I have a lot of work to do plus depression if I don’t get in. Kbtexas, I’ve checked the blog at least 10 times the past 2 days</p>
<p>EDI to Engineering</p>
<p>Gonna die if they don’t drop those letters soon!!!</p>
<p>I think Penn drops today.</p>
<p>Penn, tufts, and Northwwestern today. Just looking at the rejection thread for columbia is freaking me out. Good luck everybody!!! (Unless you’re white, jewish males from NJ for arts and sciences, in which case, rot in hell)</p>
<p>whats that supposed to mean</p>
<p>Read this article: [NEWS:</a> Percentage of Jewish students increases 10 percent in four years | InsideVandy](<a href=“Inside Vandy: Vanderbilt University's student news source”>Inside Vandy: Vanderbilt University's student news source)</p>
<p>^Yeah, but still … I don’t get the previous posting, about rotting in hell. It doesn’t come across very well!</p>
<p>That was four years ago. Vanderbilt’s student body has changed A LOT since then.</p>
<p>^I’m talking about post #75 … what’s that supposed to mean? The reference to that old article doesn’t explain the comment on post #75 that sounds like it was made in bad taste.</p>
