Why
Oliviam2019 I am so terrified for my daughter! We want to know but are so scare of the R word
@BostonJD Great charts, but I was referring to ED info and I didn’t see any, but please provide if I somehow missed it… Regular acceptance rates are so much different than ED that I didn’t think those would be helpful for the person that asked, especially since they really wanted to know per major. They don’t even tell the rates for ED1 vs ED2, just combined, let alone per school, which would all be great info to have. Their admissions head stated that ED1 is better, as they fill about 50% of all spaces with ED spots and ED2 gets what is left over, so it can be more competitive. I suppose you could assume that the % of ED applicants per school would be the same, but I am not sure it would work that way. Certain schools are likely higher pulls for Vandy than others for ED, but I would have no idea which ones.
Anyway, @3peatOffender thank you for your comment about being respectful. There is no reason to go after folks, Everyone is in the same miserable boat of waiting. Community is far better than enemies and everyone could use good support right now. Great wisdom:)
Is there any exact time when we are supposed to receive the 24 hour warning email?
I called Vandy this morning to see if there was an update. The guy told me that an email would come out Thursday or Friday with instructions (to check the next day), they were not sure which day yet (could they still be making final decisions?). I asked if he thought there was ANY possibility of it coming out today and he said he was 99% sure that was a no, but couldn’t say 100%, what he could say is that he was told to expect the email Thursday or Friday. I asked him if he were to bet on Thursday or Friday for the email what would he bet on and he said there was no indication of which was more likely. He wasn’t an admissions counselor, but the guy taking all of the calls, so he is only communicating what is being told to him, but I thought others might like an update.
@locococomama - thank you so much for calling!! I pray we find out before Saturday
I just called as well, and the guy said it is possible that the email comes today, but most likely tomorrow. He said he really isn’t told anything so he’s just taking an educated guess. Ugh. Crossing my fingers that it comes out today, so we end this already and find out tomorrow!!!
Really hoping it comes out as soon as possible! I’m just ready to rip off the band-aid. Waiting is the worst…
@enchxnted19 I don’t know your stats, but I am guessing if you applied to Vandy you have an attractive package! I’m sure your #2 and #3 choices are also amazing. Hang in there, it will be over soon and then everyone can take a breath, but think about your positive attributes to your application and know you will get the right fit, hopefully Vandy!
Has anyone gotten an email? I checked on the thread last year and saw the emails came out around this time on Wednesday.
TOMORROW
Check admissions blog
No emails here (NJ), which means no decisions tomorrow if they really do send a 24-hour advance notification. Hang in there, everyone! The fact that you’re all qualified enough to apply to Vandy speaks volumes about you. If not Vandy, you’re going to end up somewhere just as good!
THEY COME OUT TOMORROW!!!

ADMISSIONS BLOG POSTED AN UPDATE, DECISIONS COMING OUT 5:30 CENTRAL TIME DECEMBER 13TH. OMG GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
EMAILS OUT!
how is everyone opening up the decision? in front of family/friends or alone? It’s probably a weird question tbh but I still have not decided
I just got their email also. I haven’t been as nervous because I am pretty sure I won’t get in; I just have to prep for the worst now
