Vanderbilt University Class of 2023 Early Decision II Thread

anyone get contacted for interview yet?

anyone got contacted for an interview?

@Kittywitty I believe it’s totally fine as long as you have your application submitted on time. The materials can come a bit later. The AOs will start to read your application after all your materials are in.

@all4lax, don’t stress about an interview. Interviews are dependent on having available interviewers, so not all requests can be honored. The interview does not play a role in your admissions decision, so just know that those who interview do not have an advantage in terms of admission. My D, a 2011 graduate, does admissions interviews - so I am speaking with the knowledge she has shared with me.

Applying to History. Does anyone know if History majors are significantly easier to get into? My GPA and rank are not very competitive for Vanderbilt (like top 11% in a competitive HS with 3.6 UW).

For SAT II 790 on Literature and 760 in World History, plus a 1550 on SAT I. Pretty solid music ECs (music teacher, one prize in a minor international piano competition and assistant concertmaster in Region orchestra). A chance would be nice.

@kelsmom oh okay perfect thank you!!I l live in fort lauderdale so I think there is interviewers down here. Do you know if anyone from ed 2 has received any emails at all yet for interviewing or are they still processing our applications right now?

Did anybody apply to peabody?

Also, did anybody apply to peabody?

Hello everyone!

Now that early decision I is done for Vanderbilt, I thought we should have a discussion thread for Early Decision II to Vanderbilt.

Comment if your planning on applying and what your stats are :slight_smile:

@all4lax I did. HOD major.

@all4lax I believe they would have contacted you by now if there was any availability. My interviewer said they have to get recommendations in by January 25th. I was told they do have an impact on decisions, albeit a small one, but that they won’t penalize you if you don’t interview. Best of luck to you!

@yjiliu did you get an interview?

I have my interview today. Did they ask you any hard questions? If so could you remember something they asked that was a little outside the box

@siena19 ^^

so sorry @all4lax I didn’t see this till now. I actually didn’t have my interview till today so I guess I wouldn’t have been much help anyways. Hope it went well for you!

Anyone know if ED II Decision will be out before Feb. 15th? And also, my mid-year report is probably not going to be available until early Feb, would that be a potential problem for admission?

@Wishmeluck18 it could come out a few days before but I think that’s unlikeky. They don’t require a mid-year report

@florida2001 thanks for your info! Can’t wait to find out the result!

Did anyone apply to Peabody? Also who on here interviewed
