<p>@classof2015WHS I’m pretty sure that they look at the composite and the individual scores!</p>
<p>I really hope they send an email or something now that we’re within two weeks. I need one less degree of separation! hahaha</p>
<p>I literally hate this. I know I’m not going to get in but the wait and that stupid little glimmer of hope inside me make it so hard :(</p>
<p>I’m sorry I’m so emotional hahahah but this is consuming my thoughts!</p>
<p>Thankfully I’m a legacy with volunteer and work experience! </p>
<p>Same. If you count sibling legacy. </p>
<p>@cawledgehopeful You and me both! I think about it so much, and I know it won’t help but I do it anyway!</p>
<p>I don’t have a legacy anywhere else besides NYU, Adelphi and Stony Brook…my whole extended family went to NYu and my dad didn’t even go to college! So I basically have no legacies in other states besides my own. </p>
<p>Oh and i visited NYU today, and it was absolutely amazing! I love manhattan so much, I can’t imagine myself living anywhere else besides there when I’m older…granted I do want to work on wall street… Also NYU seems like it attracts mostly very mature students due to this academic rigor and lack of safety nets that most colleges have. Plus since you’re in the city, there’s no campus to fall back on. Unless you count Washington Square Park, which is my favorite spot in the city!</p>
<p>I so wish I had a job. But for reasons unknown to the sane world, my mom won’t let me get my license, which I need to drive to a job, and I need a job to get said car. It’s an endless cycle. Sigh…the problems that come with living 20 miles from civilization. Yet another reason it’d be nice to live in Nashville (:</p>
<p>@2cassandra2 Aha NYU is the only place I’d have a legacy either, if it even counts since my mom went there for a year</p>
<p>@nerdfighter23 did she not enjoy it? I spoke with John Sexton, the president of NYU, and he said it’s okay if [this university] is not for you. he spoke about how its at the very end of the spectrum with something like Swarthmore on the other end. Like you have loads of freedom and although its a very tight knit community, that they all embrace diversity. I mean, i personally loved it, they have an equal amount of caucasian and asian students, which i mean is pretty cool, but still pretty odd when you think about it. </p>
<p>If i went, I would be making the most of it and doing the individualized study college where i can make my own major (international event economics) and minor in creative writing and russian language. it’s super exciting, but thats if i don’t get into my other top choices. NYU is probably third in my list. </p>
<p>Both of my parents went to Harvard and then duke also runs in my family. I went to the Duke Tip program and I liked it but I don’t see myself going there! And I doubt I could even get into Harvard if I wanted to! So ya with two parents from Harvard and a sister at Vandy I feel like I have a lot of expectations…</p>
<p>@2cassandra2 Hehe, no…She dropped out and got married at 18…fun times.
I briefly considered applying there, adn I guess I still could, but I decided going from the most rural of places (my “village” has less than 2000 people) would be a bit too much for me at once. That’s partly why I like the idea of Nashville, it’s a big city which is what I want, but I’ve heard it still feels like a small town in many ways.
That sounds like a pretty epic major you’ve got there though! Minus the russian, it’s very similar to what I’m interested (:</p>
<p>@rebeccaAnn NO WAY!!! I was at the duke summer college this past july!! I wonder if we ever saw each other! </p>
<p>haha well I went after sophomore year so I doubt it! But that would have been so weird if we actually had!! Which institute did you go to??</p>
<p>I did the summer college program and i took the psychology of gender and got college credit. i made amazing friends and did unforgettable things! We never really interacted with TIP students, but i hope you had fun too!!</p>
<p>Some news!!</p>
<p>My email to my admissions counselor:
"Hey!</p>
<p>It’s almost time!</p>
<p>Is everything going smoothly/as planned? Any hiccups?</p>
<p>Last year you guys sent out the notification the Friday before the posted date. Should I expect the same or the usual stated date?</p>
<p>Thanks!"</p>
<p>Her reply:</p>
<p>“Hi!
The notification period is approaching, so do watch your email. We will send out an email before the decisions are made available, which will be by December 15th, and it will give you a time frame in which you can expect your decision to become available in your MyAppVU portal. I hope you’ve had a great semester.
Kind Regards,
Mary Beth”</p>
<p>So we may see decisions soon!</p>
<p>I definitely just screamed inside my head. Ya know, no big deal or anything. Just the thought of all this makes me so happy and excited and nervous and scared out of my mind like no other!!</p>
<p>Such vague wording “by December 15”. It could be today for all we know!</p>
<p>I’m in! Vanderbilt c/o 2019 here we come!</p>
