Vanderbilt ED1 Discussion Thread Class of 2021

a couple of my friends ED to Cornell and they’re all freaking out today, very jealous that they’re finding out so soon. Hopefully if they are releasing them tomorrow we’ll get the email telling us tonight

I doubt they are releasing them tomorrow, they posted the merit scholarship thing on the blog today and i looked back to past years, and they have never posted the merit scholarship post the same day as the post about releasing ED. Not sure though.

How much longer after the merit scholarship thing is posted is the ED post?

@fockey999 I noticed this too, but last year the scholarships were due much earlier, so they posted in November. In fact, they’ve posted about the scholarships on the 8th in the past before, they might just do this regularly. That being said, I heard they wanted to release decisions on a Friday or Saturday which seems to be true, so that OUA is closed, but that only leaves them with tomorrow or Saturday! I think there is hope

But duke is releasing on the 14th which confuses me even more

I hope they release them tomorrow, I have a good feeling it could be saturday too. I wish they would just tell us, most of my friends who ed to a top 20 school already have a definitive date/time to check

Looks like it’s gonna be the 15th after all

The last 3 years point to release on Friday or Saturday 5:30 PM CST.
Hopefully tomorrow

when do they usually send the emails? 5?

The past 3 years they have released the Friday before. Never on a Saturday.

@greeny8 Yeah but the last 3 years there has not been so great a spread between the Friday before and the 15th. To keep the time between in the same general range, I could see a Saturday release.

I think 2014 they released on a saturday?

@Anonymous615 I agree, I was just stating that they have never been released on a Saturday. And I think for a couple of years when kids received the email stating it was going to be released, they said it to check the portal Saturday but it was up on Friday. It won’t be long now…

Also Saturday is an ACT day. People who apply ED could be taking it in case they don’t get in. Vanderbilt likely would consider that before releasing decisions as a rejection could affect performance, no?

I really hope it comes out tomorrow. I cant wait any longer ahhh

If anyone is also waiting for Tulane EA/ED, that thread is saying at least some decisions are coming tonight, and in many cases merit aid is already showing up in the Gibson accounts. I just checked for my son and it’s there! The Tulane thread tells you how to get to it.

I feel like if it’s going to be tomorrow then they would send the email at 5:30 central time (6:30 eastern) so that it’s like a 24 hr gap between. If they don’t send us anything by then i doubt it’ll b tomorrow

In last years ED1 thread for Vanderbilt, applicants didn’t recieve a email until around 5pm central time on Thursday telling them to check their Myappvu accounts on Friday. So we technically have another hour to wait…

why is myappVU down…? checked just for the heck of it but it isnt working

@alexm2017 Looks to be up for me
