Vanderbilt ED1 Class of 2019 Discussion Thread

<p>Last year’s ED1 thread was very emotional.</p>

<p>But only had like 20 something pages.</p>

<p>@weepingmermaid‌ Yeah, I definitely feel like if there’s a link between an EC and why you want to attend, you should mention it! And thank you- best of luck to you as well! :slight_smile: </p>

<p>@classof2015WHS‌ I believe it is usually late afternoon. The most common time I see is 5 PM EST, I think! </p>

<p>I am sure VU administration wants to exit the campus before decisions are released! :)</p>

<p>@lorielliott1‌ haha that is so true :)) I bet they have a lot of angry parents calling to complain!</p>

<p>I am so incredibly nervous for decision day…wow.</p>

<p>I kinda hope they release them in the middle of the day when I’m at school so at least I have people to either bounce off the walls with me or cheer me up if I get super depressed you know? It’s crazy though that we could know before next weekend!!</p>

<p>Hey, I just want to verify, do we find out about our admission on the 12th or the 15th because I have heard rumors about both</p>

<p>Vanderbilt admissions states that ED1 application decisions will be available by Dec. 15th. However, last year, they released the decisions a few days early - Dec. 13th</p>

<p>We will for sure hear by the 15th, but based on what we’ve heard, it could be anywhere from the 12th to the 15th (: Only a few more days now!</p>

<p>Got a letter from Vanderbilt in the mail. Was for my brother. You can imagine my sorrow.</p>

<p>Ahhhhh man, that’s rough :confused: I never got all that much stuff from them, maybe like 3 or 4 things since last march hehe. I remember getting the first thing and going, “Well this is really colorful, I just might apply here!” And look what happened (:</p>

<p>Probably helped that I hadn’t gotten much else from anywhere yet…hmmmm XD</p>

<p>Ok yes! I feel like i’ve barely gotten anything from Vanderbilt but i’ve gotten loads of stuff from places like Princeton and other Ivy Leagues, UChicago even sent me a shirt!! It’s actually been kind of discouraging not getting much from Vandy, half of the time when we get something in the mail from vandy it’s for my mom :(</p>

<p>I got probably 100 different things from WUSTL, and a bunch from Columbia especially out of the Ivy Leagues! But I guess what Vanderbilt did send certainly did the trick!</p>

<p>fellow ED applicant here :blush: i heard they like to release the decisions on a friday, because that way the admissions office is closed over the weekend and can avoid angry phone calls from parents! So that would mean December 12th. We’re close!</p>

<p>hahah that’s actually kind of funny, and sad… But i definitely understand why they do it! Gives the parents time to cool down before they yell at them!</p>

<p>Ya seriously. Kind of smart of them I must say. If they really do release them on Monday then they’ll have a whole week of complaints with no break…if I were them I’d choose Friday for sure!</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone! (I may be applying to Vandy ED2 if my Duke ED doesn’t work out.)</p>

<p>It makes me sad that helicopter parents think yelling at the admissions team actually does anything</p>
