Hi everyone! I’m so excited/slightly terrified for decisions to come out! Just wanted to say that everyone here seems so nice and deserving of going to Vandy! I hope you all can find ways to relax before we get our final decisions, and I know no matter where we end up we’ll all be successful! Best of luck to all!
@rlee1514 I think you have a pretty good chance, you look to fit in to what Vanderbilt is looking for. Vanderbilt values having a job and excelling in academics at the same time, I would give you 60/40
It isnt letting me log in it says “A fatal authentication error occurred.”…
Every time something strange happens with the portal I freak out sorry… I can log in now, I wonder if they were uploading something??
@esa99 “fatal”
I have to say that I’m just snooping around checking out lots of ED threads, and this is the nicest one on CC! You all are the nicest bunch of people! Good luck to you all. I suppose Vandy is taking so long because it’s too hard to decide between this great group of applicants.
I am just a lurking junior interested in Vandy but hey @Natedagrate13 I probably live within 1/2 hour of you! We were actually planning to move to Oakwood but we ended up elsewhere instead.
Such a small world
What HS did you go to?
For anyone who sent first quarter grades, some ppl said that they received confirmation from admissions saying they’d been received. I never did and now I’m nervous they didn’t get them. I just sent a message to my admissions rep. Do you think it’s too late?
Ya If I get in I am planning on rushing it seems great I visited on a weekend with a home football game and everyone was partying
yo wheres the admission blog at
haha I meant the blog post saying when the decisions will be released but thank you @Dreamitdoit
Who’s got the inside scoop on when these decisions are coming out?
Now
I wish now
i love this ^
