When I called today, they said they would announce BY the 15th, which would mean an email the 14th to confirm this at the latest. I even pressed her and told her someone had been told the 14th. She said even she had not been given the official date yet and when she asked one of the admissions counselors that is what they told her. Hopefully the person that was told announcement was the 14th was right, as that reduces the misery by at least a day. Either way, the time is at least limited to 5 days, so there is that.
It will definitely not be the 15th. It is usually on the Thursday, but if not, it would be on the 14th
I know someone who’s already got in just now. Anyone else? I’m waiting for my result too!
@bigmike777 Really? Which school did he/she apply to?
umm not sure. We’re both from China but I’m not very familiar with him. I’ll try to ask tho.
Really? I am also from China but I haven’t received any email about the result…And there is this rumor about someone got accepted that makes me really anxious…
@bigmike777 - did they get into Vanderbilt???
I can guarantee they did NOT get into Vanderbilt. The Ivies all report on different days, some ED decisions in the US are as early as 12/7. Vandy is clear that an email will come out 24 hours prior to the announcements and they happen the next day at 5:30 CST. I’m not sure why people are stating definitely Thursday or Friday, as the only thing we know is they have stated before December 15th. The last 2 years it has been a Thursday. I went back 5 years on their blog and it has also been on a Friday once, a Saturday once and on a really early year, on the 11th. It stinks to have to sit and wait, but those stating “facts” don’t really know, though someone will clearly be accidentally right.
h!
I guess we won’t be hearing tomorrow
@pandatigerdino actually we probs wouldn’t get the email until 5:30 central, which is in around 30 minutes. I don’t think it’ll be until later this week but we’ll see
I was reading the EDI Discussion Board from last year and got totally freaked out. I am so scared guys
@maxh123 ahhh same. I keep oscillating between wanting to just find out and get it over with and never wanting to find out. For lack of a better word, I get kind of nostalgic thinking about the fact that I’ve wanted this for months and months and months and all that could all end in a matter of seconds when I open the decision. It’ll be almost anticlimactic if I don’t get the decision I want. I’m just relying on the power of positive thinking right now! My mom won’t even let me say the “R” word! LOL
@OliviaM2019 Yesss I’m with you ughhh positive thinking is the only thing getting me by! hahaha
does anyone know acceptance rate for economics major? did anyone apply economics?
I posted to wrong thread so I edited this comment.
@dankush314 Vandy does not admit by majors, but by their schools. They don’t publish how many applications they get per school, so it is impossible to know the acceptance rates. There are more openings in certain schools, but you just don’t know if there are also more applicants in them, so it is useless information.

Glad you are so sure that they don’t. Click NEXT and you can see acceptance rate by school.
Guess I just made the impossible possible, huh lococomama?
Thanks for this very informative link, @BostonJD. That said, we’re all on edge about the ED 1 decisions. @locococomama had been helpful in quelling rumors, so can we keep it respectful when dissenting.
