Last years thread wasn’t active Nov. 1st. It only was on Post #22. We are on post #39. It will pick up, esp. when decisions are close. Good luck!
Has anyone had an alumni interview yet? what are the typical questions asked?
Good luck to everyone! Applying ED1 from the Bay Area!
@dogs-rule I just had my interview tonight. The questions asked were just basic things like what you like to do, what ec do you do, what are you most proud of, what attracts you to Vanderbilt. Just be genuine and it will go well.
The alumni I requested never responded, should I cancel and request someone else?
Has it been the full 3 business days? Make sure you go through all of your emails from when you sent the request until now. The response will come from the alumni directly to the email you applied with. For me, the three days were almost past when I began cleaning up my inbox and found his email that came only 15 minutes after I requested the interview. It got lost in the flood of college emails.
just got in touch with my interviewer! so excited, she has an english degree so I can talk about my writing/magazine stuff with her 
Applying ED1 too from NJ! Vanderbilt is my absolute dream school I can’t wait until Dec 15th
Does anyone If Vanderbilt wants first quarter grades?
They just check mid year, but I don’t think they ask for midyear if you do ED1
Does anyone know if there is a Vanderbilt 2021 Official Facebook Page for prospective students yet?
gosh, I’m so terrified…anyone else having that feeling that you messed something up?
I know we’re still over a month away from decisions, but I thought it would be fun to start predicting the release day. What are your guys’ predictions? I’ve heard in past years they were released on the Friday before the 15th. However, this year that would be the 9th, and that seems too early.
Thoughts?

Thank you.
woo! did my interview today and KILLED IT! we talked for a good hour and 15 minutes and connected on a lot of stuff, they loved me!
@nischra I agree that the 9th seems too early, but I don’t think they would wait until the 15th. One year, decisions came on a Sunday…so maybe the 11th?
@wildone17 they came out on the 11th last year so that is very possible
The 11th sounds good. I was thinking maybe the 12th or 13th so they would come on a week day. I’m too excited and nervous to wait for another month. Ahhhh!
@nischra I can relate! I’m not sure if decisions have ever come on a weekday…I feel like they want to avoid angry phone calls so they have it fall on a weekend when the OUA is closed. It’s certainly possible though! I’m hoping for the 9th or the 11th but I’m keeping my countdown clock at the 15th. Based on results coming at 5:30 pm 12/15, only 1 month, 1 day, 18 hours, 24 mins, and 10 secs left!
@wildone17 i love how you’re counting down to the second lol. it’s comforting to know someone is as excited/restless as i am
