***Vanderbilt Class of 2021 Discussion Thread***

Thanks, @phsstudent17

My daughter is surprisingly 7 & 2 so far. IN: USC, Rice, Emory, UTexas, FSU, UMiami and UTampa. OUT: Northwestern and UVa. Vandy seems like a likely rejection for her though, as her Valedictorian is already in there Early. Plus 11% is a scary admit rate. With Vanderbilt, she has 6 decisions (all likely rejections) left this week. (Duke, Brown, Yale, Princeton, Stanford)

Good luck to all those awaiting the decision… and especially to those who really want it :slight_smile:

Son is 9-1 at this point. In: Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ohio State, UConn, Miami of Ohio, Butler, Baylor, San Diego State and Colorado State. Rejected: Notre Dame.

We are not expecting a Vanderbilt acceptance, but want all of the data before we make the decision on where to go next year.

Good luck everyone.

@HaydenG @Weroip12 Our daughter is also having difficulty in signing in. She is thinking of contacting the school (she had to run to school, perhaps later today)

I was surprised by the fact that this thread is much much quieter than any other equivalent level of universities.

@jpc763

that is a very nice batch of acceptances … congrats.

@HaydenG @Madrocks Making a new account worked for me after a couple of attempts

@savagenumber1 UVa and Rice both had very quiet threads until decisions were released

Actually, i think the error was because of some cache issues. Now it looks ok - still no update though.

@Wien2NC - Thank you. He had a much larger list but lost steam after a few dozen essays!

I’m also having trouble logging in. Hopefully it’ll be fixed pretty soon. Anyone have any updated thoughts on when exactly the decisions will be release?

@ibpoetrytea Can you try an alternate browser (chrome, firefox, explorer, safari etc) or complete close the current one and reopen it? It works for me now.

completely …

thanks, it’s working now!

The 1 poster claimed his Aunt worked at Vandy said letters were mailed last week. If that were true, someone would have received and posted by now.

It will be on the portal as it always has been

I don’t think they would have already been received… I’m pretty sure the mail doesn’t get delivered over weekends so give it 3-4 business days it would take it towards end of the week/ivy day period

Georgetown also sent it Friday and the majority of states haven’t gotten it (so far only NC IL MA TN)

NY and NJ students have received letters from Georgetown today and of course mail gets delivered on Saturdays

Usps doesn’t deliver on sundays. Local mail takes 2 days, everything else 2-3 days, if first class. The trucks and planes still move the mail to be processed, but they don’t deliver on Sunday. So, today is definitely posdible, but tomorrow more probable. IF they were mailed on Friday. Dad works for the P.O.

@ truthspeaker & @AlbionH I was a mail carrier long time ago. Organizations could give the order to local postal office station managers that their mail to be delivered on certain date even if the mail has arrived lot earlier. I don’t know if this is the case that the acceptance letters may have arrived at local central facilities but are told to be released on specific date so people can receive at the same day across the nation. Daughter got accepted ED1 this year.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you @amNotarobot, (congratulations to your daughter!) this could mean that they can release decisions online whenever they want since they can just tell the postal offices to wait? Of course if this is the path they decide to take.
