@anncbrig, you have a truly excellent chance to get in. So much depends on essays and recommendations. Sounds like a great match. Good luck!
Yes, @anncbrig, excellent statistics. You are clearly in the hunt! I guess the only question for all of us is whether the stars are aligned. I bet the large majority of ED 1 applicants have numbers similar to ours and in the past few years, they have extended offers to no more than 1/3 (about 1000-1200) in this round and I think (hope I’m wrong) that figure also includes recruited athletes.
The next week is going to move slowly! Those numbers do include recruited athletes, children of dignitaries, etc, I believe. Our candidate is 34 ACT, #1 in class (out of 500), lots of honors/ap classes, class president, lots of volunteer hours, etc. Sounds like all the other kids… How do they decide? I wonder how much being a legacy helps move one into the accepted column? Any ideas?
@ntnn123, I know that legacy helps a great deal at certain schools such as the Ivies, particularly if a family donates regularly. I am not sure what role “legacy” plays at Vandy, but I am curious to know the answer!
does anyone know what time decisions are released on the 15th? asking for a friend.
Last year I think it was 5:30pm EST
Last year, I believe it was 5:30PM Central (6:30ET). Some other schools send out an email in advance to confirm release date. It does not seem that Vandy does.
@finnb I think that they do send out an email in advance, usually a few days before the date. I’d expect something early next week but maybe I’m wrong
When I asked my Vandy counselor of recruited athletes apply ED, she told me they do not. She said they are required to apply RD.
@edc123 in the past they send out an email the night before with the link needed to see your decision. It is looking like we will probably hear the 15th, so look out for an email the night of the 14th.
7 days !!! i’m getting to the point where it’s literally the only thing i can think about now omg
Me too! It’s the only thing I think about anymore
Thanks for the responses! I guess we’ll find it soon!!! I’m so nervous
Stanford ED is due out today.
Thanks @Living61 From some other kids at schools I heard this about next week… Cornell is Monday, Princeton, Penn and Dartmouth are out Wednesday and then a large number on Friday…
Hoping we hear earlier than Friday!!!
I sure hope we do too!
I am so nervous
same!
We need something to take our minds off this! I’ve been playing the game Swappy10 if anyone is looking for a mindless distraction.
Only 5 days everyone! Good luck to all!
