This is a discussion thread for ED II. Post on here regarding ED II and if your considering applying.
Hello for those who have been admitted, where are you guys submitting the $400 matriculation deposit? I clicked claim my spot but I can’t find where to pay my deposit. All I can find online is that it’s supposed to be in the VU portal where we can pay it. Has anyone paid it and if so, where did it show up in your portal??
@egrwht How can you not find it? It’s literally right on the front page.
Sinusoidcalc, there’s no reason to speak to egrwht in that arrogant manner. I’m glad you got in Vandy ED1. However, there are some things Vandy won’t be able to teach you…manners, compassion, and humility. Kindness means more than an ACT score or a “chance me” vitae list of EC that is padded 90% of the time. Let’s be responsive to one another in positive ways.
@Irishmomma you literally are being more condescending than he is
I apologize if it was perceived that way. I was not being condescending…I was not speaking from a place of superiority or intent to hurt. I was just taken aback by the cutting tone in the response to a simple and reasonable question asked by someone who will be a future peer and classmate. My sincere apologies again for just expecting civility and kind exchanges. Take care.
lmao it’s all good it’s not on my front page so I contacted my admissions counciler just wanted to make sure I shouldn’t be looking anywhere else for it.

Hi, i am junior now - really want to get into Vandy next year. What kind of internship you did over the summer ? I have good stats of 4.5 GPA and 34 ACT but no major leadership role - have won Brain Bee 3rd place for state.

Hullo there! I’m a little late to this discussion, I think, but I’m applying ED2 to Vandy and I am so, so nervous. I am an international student. Does anyone know what the chances are like for an international student? Also, is anyone here not an American citizen as well?
Hello there. When will Ed 2 decisions be out?
They said it’s around mid-Feb, and by my calculations, Feb 14 is the mid-Feb coz there are only 28 days this month LOL.
I am so so so … scared.
