To all those who were rejected, think of it this way-had you been accepted, you’d have had to withdraw all your applications to other schools… Think of all that money that you saved! 
Could you guys please share your stats? I’m in the RD pool. I want to know what to expect. Haven’t yet seen a single international student get accepted.
@harveyspectator @Loyal0learner You’re Indian, right?
34 ACT
Top 2% Class Rank
Showed good amount of interest
@therealdeal23 You must have had nice ECs too? Vandy doesn’t look at interest, from what I’ve read.
Some of the people on here that I was sure would be accepted, much greater chance than I had, weren’t accepted lol these things are so unpredictable
@maevechrist15 Yeah. I was rejected at Trinity University (whose acceptance rate is 44%) where I was confident I would be accepted. It made me lose all hopes for Brown and Vandy.
I think international students who apply for financial aid are automatically rejected. :))
What are your stats/ECs?

@ImsaClassof2017 Accepted, right? Your ECs and scores are great!
@ahiddy Awesome. I hope I get in too.
@mundanewarrior Yup! Vandy acceptances based off of college confidential posts seem to be so unpredictable this year so I was quite worried, but I guess anything’s possible. I hope you get in!
