Vanderbilt ED1 Class of 2019 Discussion Thread

<p>I feel bad for them</p>

<p>We have at the very most 8 days until we know! </p>

<p>So excited to hear back from Vandy on the 15th! So nervous since this is the only school I applied to!</p>

<p>me too!! and I haven’t started any other apps… so if I get rejected I’m going to have a terrible winter break </p>

<p>@SCGirl2‌ I am the same way!! I put all of my eggs in one basket so I’m praying that it all works out and I don’t have to scramble at the last minute! (Didn’t mean for that to turn out as a pun)</p>

<p>I only applied to my safety!! I wrote an essay yesterday for another school, but I’m hoping I can just use it for scholarships and stuff! It’s so crazy to think we could know in less than a week and at most 8 days!</p>

<p>Yep. 5 or 8 days. It’s getting closer.</p>

<p>Oh my gosh! I am so nervous because I don’t really have another plan! @rebeccaAnn‌ </p>

<p>@SCGirl2‌ Hey don’t worry (: You’ll still have time if you end up needing it!</p>

<p>I’ve applied to all of my schools, but I may add one or two more.</p>

<p>This is going to be the longest week ever. </p>

<p>I just don’t want to hit submit unless I have to cause of sending a bunch more SAT scores which begins to add up.</p>

<p>@Elizabeth1315‌ No kidding though! And I thought last week seemed to kind of drag on!</p>

<p>Ugh I’ve been waiting on this decision for 18 years </p>

<p>5 more days. At this point I don’t even care if I didn’t get in, I just want to know!</p>

<p>r u ok</p>
