Vanderbilt ED1 Class of 2019 Discussion Thread

<p>From what I understood after calling the admissions office, the scholarship apps are looked at completely separately from the regular apps. I remember this was a concern of my father’s because he figured students applying ED would be less likely to receive the scholarships since Vandy knows they’re willing to pay the money to attend, but after calling he found out that wasn’t the case. I’m not even sure if the people who review the scholarships are informed whether you applied ED or RD. Haha but yeah, I hope that helped?</p>

<p>@rebeccaAnn I agree with @rockport721‌. My region’s representative talked to me a lot about this and strongly encourages anyone with a lot of leadership qualities to apply for the Cornelius Scholarship. I was worried about it changing my chances of getting in but he informed me that it does not change anything.</p>

<p>He also said that they do not look at any of your family’s financial information either if that helps anyone in deciding whether to apply or not. </p>

<p>@lala121‌ Okay, ya that makes sense. It probably wouldn’t have made a difference for me anyway since it’s likely all the decisions are made already. And hey, since I have next to no chance of getting any of those scholarships anyway, at least I have another essay about me I might be able to use for other stuff! </p>

<p>@nerdfighter23‌ yeah that is true! Always good for a back up. I am getting sooo nervous I just want this to be over with!! </p>

<p>@lala121‌ Ya me too! I’ve realized there’s no point in trying not think about it since it’s so close now!! If they don’t release them Friday, it will be the longest weekend in history</p>

<p>Do any of you guys have friends that are also applying ED?</p>

<p>Not that I know of. </p>

<p>I have 8, but we live like 20 minutes away from Vandy</p>

<p>So nervous.</p>

<p>Bruuh, chill, we only have like 2 days now</p>

<p>Yep.</p>

<p>Ready to get this over with. Either way. </p>

<p>I really hope they let us know when I’m at school. I’m gonna need some people with me either way haha
I get the chills just thinking about it I’m so nervous and excited and terrified and anxious</p>

<p>one of my best friends is applying ED so I’m just really hoping that we both get in! </p>

<p>Currently unable to think of anything else. I was sick and slept all day today so that was nice, finally not stressing about it </p>

<p>It seems like the only time I’m not thinking about it is when I’m sleeping. </p>

<p>Haha me too, except for the times I dream about it. Which has happened multiple times too!
I hope that’s the universe telling me good news is to come</p>

<p>ya’ll dont forget to make a stats thread and good luck to all! The day decisions come out will be here before you know it!</p>

<p>ahhh I’m freaking out!! Are we supposed to get an email soon!? Like telling us when decisions will be posted??</p>
