VU School: School of engineering
I thought it always had the school you applied to
@123456789111 yeah, I was just asking if yours had ‘Vanderbilt School’ or VU, sounds like most people have VU…
My indicate “VU School: College of Arts and Science”
Mine is below. Similar to everyone else except you applied to a different school?
Decision Plan: Regular Decision
VU School: College of Arts and Science
Application Source: Common Application
Status: Application Complete
Yes
@FlyTheW Does yours say VU or Vanderbilt?
Why did you ask about “Vanderbilt school” as a possibility? Does anyone have that at all? So far, everyone has said VU School. That’s what I also have. It’s a system so it doesn’t make sense for “Vanderbilt school” to even be a thing. Whoever asked first, have you seen “Vanderbilt school” anywhere? Even if it’s out there, I doubt it means anything.
I also have VU school
I finally called to inquire about my son not getting an email about CV either way. She looked it up while on the phone and he is not a recipient (wasn’t a huge surprise with the 1% offered). It sounds like all decisions have been made specifically about CV and Chancellor’s, so I’m not sure why you were told it would be by the end of March. I would contact the Financial Aid department and ask. There was a specific person I was tranferred to for CV.
Mine says VU school
Just want to say in response to your comment that my white, majority, full-pay student who did not need the CV to attend Vanderbilt DID get the CV scholarship (from a high-applicant state to boot). Maybe admissions are looking at the most elite students after all, and the difference in applicants is the effort the student puts into the essay or any number of small details outside of perfect test scores. Just my two cents.
@FlyTheW This is exacly what it says from the portal screenshot 11/27. Is someone saying it will change to Vanderbilt if you’re admitted? No change in our case.
Son admitted with CV scholarship, his status is the same:
Decision Plan: Regular Decision
VU School: School of Engineering
Application Source: Common Application
Status: Application Complete
I do not remember what it was before the admission, but probably the same.
Email with CV award mentioned that official admission letter will be sent later (probably with everyone else’s).
does anyone know when decisions are being released?
i have rumors of March 25th.
This would match what they’ve done in previous years. The only reasonable change to that would be if they want to get notifications out earlier so they can shut down the admissions office because of the corona stuff.
Some people on reddit mentioned the appearance of a reference number. I have one and I never noticed its appearance or lack thereof before. Does everyone now have a reference number, and is it new or has it always been there?
My daughter has one in her portal and I believe it’s been there for a while.
The reference number appeared the first time we setup the portal (11/27 screenshot) so I’d assume they give you that so you can use the reference number when communicating with admissions.
