Vanderbilt Class of 2024 ED1 Discussion Thread

Hi guys! I was trying to find a discussion for ED1 applicants for the Vanderbilt class of 2024 but I couldn’t find anything so I decided to make one. I wanted to have a place to talk about the application and get to know each other. Best of luck everyone!! :slight_smile:

Hey did you apply to any scholarships?

Yes! I applied to the Carell Family Scholarship, and I am going to apply to the Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholarship and possibly the Ingram Scholarship.

Good luck in your application! I am also applying ED1 to Vandy.

I applied ED1 as well! Best of luck to everyone! Anyone doing ROTC?

Good luck to all with your ED1!

One of my daughter’s is a senior at Vanderbilt (she wishes she had another year!) and the other is a sophomore at Vanderbilt. They love it! You will too.

Anyone applying for Chancellor’s Scholarship?

Im applying for an education major with a career interest in law I hope they don’t think I’m weird for this or something

My son applied ED1, and is doing ROTC. He was just awarded the Naval ROTC scholarship last night (thank goodness)! Good luck to you all!

That’s great @Hopefulmom101
I am applying for the Army ROTC scholarship.
Did he meet with the heads of the NROTC during a visit?

He did @Uwongoh ! He was very impressed by both units.

Nice! He should get a boosted chance. I visited with the lieutenant colonel and had my interview there. Did the head say he would go to the admissions office to advocate for your son?

ED1 app is in. Now the wait. Anyone know exact day and means (email, portal, snail mail) notifications will come out?

Congrats @middling ! I think decisions come out around December 13th or so at around 6:30 PM EST or so. I could be wrong but that’s what it was last year I believe.

Does Vanderbilt request 1st quarter grades if they are interested in your application?

Also, has anyone received any email from Vanderbilt since submission other than the application portal email?

@stemgirldreamer My son hasn’t received any emails since he submitted or been asked for any additional transcripts. He did email his AC a few weeks ago about an updated ACT score and whether it was too late to submit. AC said to go ahead and send. He told me the updated score was posted to his portal within a couple of days of ordering; incredibly fast.

Does anyone know how to request an interview? I know you need to go to your form section on the portal but I can’t find the form section anywhere.

Did any of you sign up for the interview program? I did a couple weeks ago and never got an email back. I live in East Tennessee so I figured they would have a number of interviewers in my area but maybe not.

My D and I can’t find the “form” section on the portal either, so she hasn’t requested an interview. (There is no box to check whatsoever - are we missing something?) I told her to check the portal every day. Hopefully, we will see something pop up in a week or so. If she doesn’t hear by the end of this week, she may call the admissions office just to make sure she’s not missing something.
