Vanderbilt University (2023-2024)

[abstract raft]

includes some extra stuff

[dawn gust]

same for me

[abstract raft]

ok ima just submit

fk it we ball

[dawn gust]

it's not ballin my mannnn

it doesnt make a difference

[abstract raft]

W

[dawn gust]

yuppey

[abstract raft]

rejection incoming

[onyx heron]

im with you

[willow garden]

omg that’s hard topic 😓

[willow garden]

congratulations brother ✊🏻✊🏻

God didn’t let us to duke bc he wanted us to get into vandy you see

[abstract raft]

lol lets see

[glad gate]

i did it and i really like how it turned out 😭

just wana know if anyone else did it

[tepid sedge]

yeah, was a pain cutting it down to <300

[glad gate]

i left mine at 400 cuz when i emailed them they said they have no preference between 400 word and 250 word essays

my 400 version was a lot better than my cut down 250 one

[tepid sedge]

but i kind of want to reuse it for duke which has a 250 word limit so i would have needed to cut it down anyways

[glad gate]

yea that makes sense

[tepid sedge]

same tbh i shouldve emailed them too lol, but whatever im still happy with both versions

praying we both get in

[glad gate]

<3

[willow garden]

yeah with the prompt you chose I think it’s better to have more words

[willow garden]

are yall ed2 too

[glad gate]

vandy has ed2?

i didnt even know that 😭

i did chicago

cuz im doing econ

[regal harbor]

Hello

For some reason on my vandy portal it shows my mom's name instead of mine

[livid ridge]

Vanderbilt is crazy

[mental relic]

just barely barely got in the application

[willow garden]

Did you fix that?

[willow garden]

congratulations!!!

I’ll be most active here for vandy

gonna manifest acceptance

[solemn wraith]

i feel like my vandy essay was fire

so i got hope

[willow garden]

are you ed2ing?

[cosmic jasper]

yeah there is

@high laurel no clue why schoolhouse and not slideroom though

[cosmic jasper]

oh yeah I forgot that schoolhouse is a tutoring site that calls their stuff portfolios

lmao

[dawn gust]

@cursive geyser

you cant submit resarch abstract

or anything to vandy

[dawn gust]

wtffffff

bro got into vanderbilt, and complaining

[stable wind]

Oh yea i just seen that

Its fin aid reasons

[gritty agate]

well maybe they can’t afford it

[dawn gust]

he can always reject vandy

[gritty agate]

Yeah

[willow garden]

what’s his family income

[solemn wraith]

we don’t know

[abstract raft]

It says he can afford 50-55k

He’s def not poor

Also how can u EA and ED

Isn’t that against the Ed ageeement

[celest scroll]

no u can ea, just don’t do rea or smth

[abstract raft]

Oh damn I did not know that

[willow garden]

“Should’ve tried better schools” just doesn’t sound right

Vanderbilt is the best 🤚🏻

[cerulean warren]

Hey

Sorry I want to know the reputation of this institution in business and finance

Because my parents are worried that this school isn’t reputable

[abstract raft]

yea idk what blud wants

[solemn wraith]

reputable for sure

especially in the south

[gritty agate]

Being able to afford that international is crazy

[willow garden]

ngl I’m used to being broke & seeing everyone around me being broke too

so like 55k per year??? only for your education???😨😨

[stable wind]

Lots of intls are full pay

[willow garden]

my whole bloodline’s money won’t even make that amount

#uzbekistan 🥰🥰🙏🏻

[stable wind]

R u intl?

[willow garden]

yup

[gritty agate]

yea but being able to afford 55k a yr for education already puts you pretty high in the US so to be able to make that as a international is pretty absurd

[willow garden]

so many billerts here I swearrr

[gritty agate]

lmao

[stable wind]

theres only 2 noteable ones

[gritty agate]

I’m the uh third one

[stable wind]

this guys a fraud

[gritty agate]

Wrong billert.

[willow garden]

Vanderbilt doesn’t accept frauds afaik

[stable wind]

sorry fraudy billert

its joever

[willow garden]

yeah frallert you’re not getting in

[dawn gust]

being a full pay international is lowkey better than being domestic

change my mind!

[celest scroll]

why?

[fresh pine]

maybe because international students have to pay more, hence more money for the uni

[onyx marlin]

when did ed2 results come out last year?

[dawn gust]

this year, it'll feb 15th probably*

[onyx marlin]

tyy

[stark steeple]

vlanderbilt

[willow garden]

omg 40 days left

[onyx marlin]

i just know vanderbilt wants to be my valentine

[willow garden]

same Vanderbilt don’t be shy 🤭

[stark steeple]

Yikes they release near v day

[stark steeple]

R u ed2 too?

[willow garden]

yess

[livid ridge]

if vanderbilt accepts but gives me a terrible aid package I'm throwing hands

[tidal jacinth]

Dude Vanderbilt has fantastic aid from what I’m aware

125k a year in income with standard assets is at, or just under free tuition

They sent me this last year I believe

[stable wind]

thats insane if true

[tidal jacinth]

It’s what they sent me

[stable wind]

i mean i wont know if its completely accurate

bc it varies per person

[tidal jacinth]

It’s based on a median. That means if you took all of the people in that income bracket with standard assets, and met in the middle, they’d receive this aid

[stable wind]

my perspective with this is im alr getting good aid and this is hella competitive so for me it was either do this or apply to more t20s/ivies and i chose the latter

but if i planned better

i couldve done some merit scholly apps

[tidal jacinth]

Sure thing

[plain stream]

i won't lie

merit based full ride vanderbilt probably harder than harvard lol

[stable wind]

Def

[tepid sedge]

does vanderbilt let you change admission plans?

like rd to ed?

[gritty pelican]

Yeah

I’m pretty sure

[brazen kraken]

Does Vandy evaluate merit and Ed2 applicants same time?

Or they evaluate in diff pool?

Like Ed2 are compared with Ed2 and merit are compared diff pool.

Guys how many international get full ride or high aid vandy?

[stark steeple]

Probably not a lot

When does vandy merit come out? Or mosaic?

[brazen kraken]

Merit last cycle was Feb 14 idk tho but heard from someone who got

[agile prawn]

[stable wind]

[solemn wraith]

its insanely subjective but

to some people any t50 or t70 is prestigious

and also certain schools are hella prestigious for certain programs

[stark steeple]

inshaAllah!!!

[onyx marlin]

im so ready for this

i applied to like 6 safeties because i was so scared 💀

[agile prawn]

all those ones besides uchicagho lol

[dire burrow]

guys can u like withdraw your application to vanderbilt ed2 the day before

or is there a time constraint

[plain stream]

lmfao

i don't think u can withdraw like that

iirc uchicago ED portal pulled it away as soon as they announced when the results were coming out

while EA portals still had the application withdrawal

[dense fox]

hi

[stark steeple]

my fin aid would probably be good anyways

or decent

[glad spindle]

do you have to apply to mosaic?

[stark steeple]

[glad spindle]

ohh okay, thank you!!

[woeful girder]

[strange rune]

!vanderbilt

[abstract zodiac]

Vanderbilt doesn't do interviews do they?

[abstract raft]

nope

[wild horizon]

sigh

i love vanderbilt

would anyone else care to share why they love my favorite school?

[torpid turtle]

vabderbilt 😭

[plain stream]

darth vanderbilt

[brazen kraken]

When will ed2 decision come out ?

Is it Feb 15 or after

Waiting so fcking tough 😭

[golden rivet]

I emailed them not anonymously and they dont require them and i will not be submitting mine 👍

[stiff rivet]

could you dm them anonymously and ask about mosaic lmaoo

[golden rivet]

i dont got them on anonymous speed dial lmao

[stiff rivet]

ikik im half joking lmaoo

[golden rivet]

has anyone heard back about ingram, cornelius, or carell family yet

i focused my sup on my work experience because even though so few people get the carrell scholarship i still think its my best shot

[craggy holly]

I haven’t, but i heard Ingram hears back first(?)

[golden rivet]

So few people get Ingram going into freshman year

I think a lot of people apply for it as a first year and that’s where more people get it

[craggy holly]

True, I’m hoping on Chancellor’s

[golden rivet]

It would be nice to get invited to interview for any of them so I could just stop waiting but my expected need based is pretty nice

[craggy holly]

oh do they interview for other scholarships?

[golden rivet]

Yea they interview for all I thought?

[craggy holly]

yeah true i don’t need merit aid that much😭

[golden rivet]

Ik they do for the carrell and Ingram at least

Chancellors doesn’t really apply to me as I’m about as white as they come

[craggy holly]

😭 word, im Asian but I’ve done some heritage work so we’ll see if that counts

[golden rivet]

I’ve worked part time ~16-20 hours a week for nearly 2 & 1/2 years now at a local restaurant so I’m hoping that will help me stand out for carrell

[craggy holly]

what’s the carrell one based off of?

[golden rivet]

Distinguished achievement and have worked part time throughout hs

[solemn wraith]

hope i get in here

i wanna be a cowboy

🤠

[brazen kraken]

Will Ed2 decision come out early or Merit scholarship?

[glad spindle]

Decisions were posted on Feb 15 at 5pm CST last year

[brazen kraken]

Was it ED2 OR MERIT?

[glad spindle]

ED2

[dapper gulch]

do u know when they typically reach out for interviews😭?

[golden rivet]

I think early feb

Varies tho

[dapper gulch]

okay thank u!!

[golden rivet]

Vandy and duke are my only t20s I applied to because I grew up with sec culture and it’s basically in my blood but I want to go to a top school if possible

[dapper gulch]

wait also do all scholarship applicants get the interview or only those who are likely to be admitted get the interview

[golden rivet]

No only a very small select few

[dapper gulch]

okay i see, thanks again

[golden rivet]

For most it’s actually a fly in interview in nashville

[dapper gulch]

WOAH i didnt know that

[solemn wraith]

valid

both r great

[bold hedge]

i rock with this schoolk

[solemn wraith]

same

[stable wind]

idgfa Vanderbilt bro

they'll reject me anyway

seeking aid mf

[vagrant viper]

They are need blind

[dawn gust]

my brother-in-law

guess what I am?

MIGHTY INTERNATIONAL SEEKING AID

https://tenor.com/view/lego-batman-falls-in-love-close-up-gif-15191490740796280635

[vagrant viper]

So am I but how does that affect our acceptance chances

They are need blind for everyone

[dawn gust]

so let me explain it

• hello I want money
  Amherst, Bowdoin, Yale, Princeton, Harvard, Dartmouth, MIT: No worries mate, I got you

• hello I want money
  Vanderbilt and other 3992 colleges:

https://tenor.com/view/subway-surfers-fortnite-gif-26104277

@vagrant viper did you get me?

vanderbilt is need aware

[vagrant viper]

What

[dawn gust]

meaning that if you seek aid, it'll hurt your chances

because school doesnt give out money

just to particular students

if you're international

[dawn gust]

are you international?

wtf bro

this should be cap

@vagrant viper I have bad news

....

[vagrant viper]

yeah just saw

[vagrant viper]

I guess I shouldnt have blindly believed my counsellors

[dawn gust]

probably

[vagrant viper]

We are cooked 🤝

[dawn gust]

I mean, maybe you can get fin aid anyway

[vagrant viper]

on to the next one 😭

[dawn gust]

at least they are not financial aid-blind 💀

[brave pendant]

common yale W

[brave pendant]

(vanderbilt bank me some cash money so i could study here pls pls i am not geting into yale pls )

[desert scaffold]

vanderbilt normally does pretty good with giving aid

hopefully they bless up

[stable wind]

Fr

[golden rivet]

The private school a mile from my public high school had 7 ED admits out of 9 applicants (that I know of)

My public school had 1

Granted only 2 people applied ED from my school

I was gonna but my mom didnt really understand the whole 100% need based aid thing no matter what and wouldn’t get on board with signing the binding contract

[south dune]

has anyone gotten an interview for RD?

[nocturne wagon]

Anyone applied for ED2 ?

[abstract zodiac]

Vanderbilt doesn't do interviews lol

[south dune]

oo okay cool

thanks!

[willow garden]

seems like internationals needing full aid either choose Vanderbilt or Bowdoin mostly 😭

[cerulean warren]

Amherst and Dartmouth too I think

[willow garden]

oh yeah! I meant for ed2 specifically ahah

[undone swallow]

Did anyone in here get their Vanderbilt merit scholarship interviews

[craggy holly]

IIRC only Ingram scholars has interviews

And carrell

[undone swallow]

If I didn’t get an interview by now does it mean I’m not a finalist for Ingram

I applied to both Ingram and Cornelius

[craggy holly]

They come out in mid Feb

[undone swallow]

Oh word

Thanks !!

[craggy holly]

np! don’t stress + I’m sure ppl will post about them if they are sent out

[abstract zodiac]

when does vanderbilt release their decisions?

[stable wind]

By april 1

[stark steeple]

my essay here was so bad

too bad their prompt was GENERIC

[agile prawn]

it just me or did they "waive" yalls school reports too?

[craggy holly]

Mine is received

[abstract raft]

r u RD or ED2

mine says received

[agile prawn]

rd.. ty

[dawn gust]

yo

ED2 people

how did you submit your fin aid documents?

[cerulean warren]

You applied ED2 ?

[dawn gust]

ye

on the website

it says

see, it says if we have not requested them

they didnt request it, nor do they have an option for "financial aid documents" for submission

[cerulean warren]

I just realized I haven’t submitted mine. All I submitted was the ISFAA

[dawn gust]

same

I only submitted CSS

they dont have IDOC

[dawn gust]

either way, we're fine

we uploaded that CSS and ISFAA shit so it's ok

worst thing that can happen is getting that financial aid package a month later

chillin'

[cerulean warren]

I hope so

[cerulean warren]

Love your optimism!

[dawn gust]

nah man

no optimism no hope

this is what schools say

a friend of mine submitted his IDOC documents for Dartmouth like a week before the decisions

he got his package on the very same day with the decisions

but I emailed to vanderbilt, about uploading those documents (we literallt have 13 days until the decisions)

[cerulean warren]

Dartmouth is need bling no ?

[dawn gust]

they are

but it doesn't have anything to do with being need blind

we've already sent our financial profiles

[cerulean warren]

Yh that’s true

[cerulean warren]

🤣🤣

Oh decisions are released on the 15th ?

[dawn gust]

they said mid feb

[dawn gust]

+- 2 days

[cerulean warren]

Ohh. That makes sense

[dawn gust]

fr, I wouldnt have worried about it if we had like a month, it's only two weeks now

didnt realize it, time flies

and I lowkey dont want to get my fin aid package late too

put me out of my misery

ASAPPP

[cerulean warren]

You applied to only vandy ?

[dawn gust]

I applied to 52 colleges

https://tenor.com/view/death-gif-20834117

[dawn gust]

sick of waiting

seeking aid as an international student hits hard

nevermind, you know that too 😄

[cerulean warren]

Can I dm. I’m so shocked. I was so confused what 52/52 meant 🤣🤣

Never heard of this place in ma life😭

[dawn gust]

ofc you can 😄

[dawn gust]

which place

[cerulean warren]

Don’t tell me you mean Vanderbilt 💀

[cerulean warren]

Goofy ahh name

Sound like a harry potter dorm in a fan fiction

Nah. The full name goes hard bruh

[dawn gust]

btw

first time I saw the name "Vanderbilt"

it felt really good to add it to my ig bio

lol

I applied ed2 because t20, and there were like 2 good schools to ed2

UChi and Vanderbilt, WashU

WashU is stingy, uchi doesnt accept people from ed2

vandy was the most logical one

[onyx marlin]

What the heck

[willow garden]

yeah you’re sophomore 😭

[glad spindle]

You only have to submit your CSS Profile or ISFAA. If the financial aid office needs any extra info like your parents' taxes, they will let you know

[dawn gust]

thx!

[glad spindle]

They were released on February 15 at 5pm CST last year

[onyx marlin]

Ohh really

[willow garden]

did you apply with isfaa or css?

[glad spindle]

I applied with css

[willow garden]

Is it bad if you’ve applied with isfaa and didn’t get any requests lol

[onyx marlin]

even though on the checklist it has that tax forms

[glad spindle]

yep! I mailed the office my tax forms and they were like "We do not need this, thank you. We will email you if we need further information"

[onyx marlin]

ooh yayy tysm

[glad spindle]

Hmm I don't think so! The isfaa is pretty similar to the CSS

[onyx marlin]

did you apply ed

2

[glad spindle]

nope, I applied ed 1

[onyx marlin]

how'd it go

[glad spindle]

I got in

[onyx marlin]

omg yayyy 🙌

[glad spindle]

yess! did you apply for ed2?

[onyx marlin]

yess i did

[glad spindle]

ohh!! good luck :))

[stiff rivet]

[onyx marlin]

tyy and congrats to u 🥳

[glad spindle]

thank you!!! 🫶🏻

[willow garden]

how’s your experience going so far?

[glad spindle]

I'm not going to Vandy yet! I start classes this fall :))

[dawn gust]

wtf bro they said ED1 😄

[stark steeple]

vandy pls accept me

:(((

if they have interviews i didnt get one

[stark steeple]

chill was a mistake

[dawn gust]

they dont do interviews

[desert scaffold]

I thought you could request them

did they stop doing that?

[willow garden]

lmaoo i was too sleepy for that

omg btw we have to find any international admitted student from last cycle or ed1 cause when we have to send our fin aid documents?😭

can vanderbilt surprise us and post decisions tomorrow

[vapid lake]

yo yo yo

[twin trout]

Did they email you to send your financial aid docs or you sent it after getting in. And also what was the time frame from the moment you sent the docs to they releasing decisions.

[lusty tendon]

no thanks

[glad spindle]

hmm I just sent my CSS Profile by the November 1 deadline. They got back to me on December 14 with my acceptance and December 16-17 with my financial aid package. They did not request any other information from me

[vapid lake]

POV: CSS isn't loading 😿

[lusty tendon]

!vanderbilt

[craggy holly]

[stiff rivet]

interesting

[stark steeple]

WOAh

omg

[craggy holly]

[undone swallow]

Apparently ingram interviews have been sent out … I didn’t get one 😔

[fresh panther]

[fresh panther]

why mid feb???? didn't they stop mosaic this yr

[dapper gulch]

[craggy holly]

No interview for Cornelius

[craggy holly]

No it’s still a thing per their IG

[stiff rivet]

asians are included in mosaic

[dapper gulch]

OH okay thank u

[grand eagle]

For those who applied ED2, do you guys still have the withdraw application button? IDK why but its gone for me

[swift cave]

does anyone know when theyll send out notifications for scholarship finalsits

specifically for the cornelius vandy and chancellors

[craggy holly]

i think chancellors comes out with mosaic (someone correct me if I’m wrong)

Cornelius comes out mid March

[swift cave]

ah gotcha

do u know when that possibly might be this yr 😅

[craggy holly]

With the volume of apps increasing, imma guess 2/20

[swift cave]

ah okok thank you sm

[fresh panther]

omg i hope i get this. vandy was lowk my og dream school

[thorny ingot]

samesies

[undone swallow]

Rejected from Ingram 😓

[craggy holly]

they sent those out? makes me wonder if mosaic packs r on their way 😖

[onyx marlin]

whats mosaic

[stiff rivet]

multicultural program

they invite students from multicultural backgrounds out for a weekend

it’s a likely letter

[onyx marlin]

ooh really

[onyx marlin]

so do they just invite u based off ur app

[stiff rivet]

yes

[onyx marlin]

ooh ok ty

[stiff rivet]

but also background ofc

[onyx marlin]

ofc ofc

[stiff rivet]

i believe it’s 300 students

[onyx marlin]

oh jeez 😭

do u know if it fs came out after ed2 decisions last year?

[stark steeple]

lets be real

supreme court banned that thing

so how will they possibly know who to invite LOL

[stable wind]

If someone writes im black in my essay maybe theyll know?

[craggy holly]

help mosaic will be so funny this year

hope they don’t screw jt up

[onyx marlin]

i was wondering that too but maybe since its a cultural thing not a race thing idek

[onyx marlin]

right 😭

[stark steeple]

lol it will be

[stark steeple]

yeah but not many people would write ab their race

some would some wont

[stark steeple]

yeah

[onyx marlin]

they could talk abt their culture

lol good luck vandy

[craggy holly]

wish they weren’t obligated to yk 😭

[stable wind]

Lots of ppl do

Also they can still see ur race

[stark steeple]

how

[stable wind]

Its still a button on common app….

Its just optional now

I didnt put mine

[onyx marlin]

they cant see that i thought?

[stark steeple]

its always been optional

[onyx marlin]

it says that when ur submitting

[stable wind]

Oh ok

Some schools can some cant

Only one of my schools withholds it from the pdf

I dont remember which one

[dense plume]

i doubt any can-- that'd go directly against SC's wishes. maybe military instiutions might be diff

also supreme court didnt ban looking at race on an individual case basis

[stable wind]

I mean….i doubt they care

[dense plume]

they do

[stable wind]

They can just keep doing it under a different name or system

Its not really enforceable

[dense plume]

again, supreme coiurt didnt ban looking at how race affects people individually, which is why u see so many diversity essays being brought up

[dense plume]

this is one of the enforceable things

the common app race option

[stable wind]

Right but only one of my schools hides the race option on the pdf

The rest have it visible

Like the preview thing

Where it says act/sat and ssn are hid

[dense plume]

common app doesnt send it regardless iirc

[stable wind]

Only one had race hidden

[deft cloud]

wait random but did you fr get an mit likely 😭 im dense

[stable wind]

They do

If its on the pdf it goes to them

[dense plume]

which schools didnt block

because we applied to very similar schools

and its blocked on all mine

[dense plume]

troll

[stable wind]

All of urs? It was next to act/sat, ssn, parents birth country, etc

?

It wasnt there next to those for me

On the disclaimer

[dense plume]

theres nothing

on the pdf

itself

it doesnt show up at all

[stable wind]

Did u select ur race

[dense plume]

yes

[stable wind]

Hmm thats weird

Ive seen it on other ppls

[dense plume]

check what u submitted

its been blurred basically the whole year

[onyx marlin]

same

and i selected

[heady stirrup]

Guys (esp. int applicants), did Vandi request any fin aid documents to be uploaded via portal?

[fresh panther]

how can they do mosaic if they do not know

[fresh panther]

idk if its even there. if it is its probably for rurals or smth. they might have a specific events at admitted students day instead for mosaic people

[onyx marlin]

diversity essays ig and people talking about their culture/experiences in their essays

[stiff rivet]

does really work for african american students

i guess they just wouldn’t consider it until after they made a decision on your app

[stark steeple]

yeah but idk if that would violate their policy

[stark steeple]

yeah some african americans have very non african soundng names

[stiff rivet]

well yeah bc many of us are black american or generational african americans

descendants of slavery

[stark steeple]

yeah

[lean lynx]

Hey. They ask you to submit the ISFAA if you can't pay for the CSS profile

[fresh panther]

guess💀

[fresh panther]

im african american but my name isn't? guys cmon😭

[willow garden]

damn my name is white but im not

[dense plume]

no more spec about mosiac !!!

other questions are being drowned out

[stark steeple]

Hahahaha

thank you

[dense plume]

you did nothing wrong with what you said im just trying to kill convo about it btw ^

[whole spindle]

Hello everyone

Please has any International student seeking aid received an email to submit ISFAA yet?

I haven't received any yet

[heady stirrup]

Thank you! But, do they usually request additional documents: salary statement, w2)?

[heady stirrup]

I have submitted mine

[whole spindle]

When did you submit?

[heady stirrup]

01/11/24

[lean lynx]

haven't from me so far

May email if they need them

w2s are for US citizens tho no?

[heady stirrup]

hope it is not mandatory

[heady stirrup]

yep, I am ready to provide salary statement as analogue

[lean lynx]

nice

[heady stirrup]

Yep

Wbu?

[vagrant viper]

Wait what

I do not see anything about the CSS profile

Where should it be?

Oh

Yeah found it, thank you!

Fortunately it’s received

[untold edge]

cmon ask me isfaa

[undone swallow]

Don’t you submit those thru the portal

[heady stirrup]

They didn't request them

I have to uppload them manually?

[undone swallow]

i think i already had the official documents by the time i logged into my portal

are you intl?

[heady stirrup]

Yep

[undone swallow]

Oh maybe that’s why

[heady stirrup]

hope so

[brave pendant]

vanderbilt.

[abstract zodiac]

vandy

[dawn gust]

aghh

[willow garden]

next week 😔

[lusty tendon]

i feel sick when i think about it

[stable wind]

Oh ed2?

[lusty tendon]

yes!! :D

[craggy holly]

sending good vibes 🙏 is it for blair?

[stable wind]

Is there a confirmed date

[lusty tendon]

yes:)

[lusty tendon]

idk i dont think so, just by feb 15

[stark steeple]

are deferred students notified then?

or just ed2

[lusty tendon]

im deferred. everyone finds out by mid-feb if they're considered in ed2. :)

the office of admissions usually emails everyone the night before; that's what they did in december!

[stark steeple]

they consider deferred applicants for ed2? omg

thats crazy gl

[lusty tendon]

:D

[stark steeple]

wish other schools did that

[lusty tendon]

i am trying to remain hopeful

[stark steeple]

you got this i believe in you!!

[lusty tendon]

it's nervewracking but hoping the best in store for all of us <3

[stable wind]

Did u write an loci

[lusty tendon]

yes!

[stable wind]

I hope you get in fr

[lusty tendon]

:D thank you my friends!! hopeful dores in this thread ONLY <3

[stable wind]

Uhh yea sure!!!

Rd is like 4 percent 😭😭

[lusty tendon]

we can hope and pray 🥳

[stable wind]

Yall ed and ed2 kids got this

And us rd kids!!!

[lusty tendon]

thank you my friend

[stable wind]

Although most of yall are inactive

Everyones gonna start creeping out in march

[onyx marlin]

u can withdraw but then u can't apply ea or rd i believe

[grand eagle]

Wait I thought the withdraw deadline passed theres no withdraw button in the portal

[willow garden]

if you’re intl, have you also applied for their merit-based scholarships?😭

@glad spindle did you?

[grand eagle]

Ye bro check the portal

Yea.. i was tryna change it to rd but couldnt

Cuz it was gone

They said the vandy withdrawal period passed or smth

Yo i know this isnt ideal but theres a student from my high school last yr who just didnt go to his accepted ed school

And went to yale

[lusty forge]

wait, yo how?

was it because of the finaid or smthing?

[grand eagle]

He just declined the acceptance

U know u gotta pay the

[lusty forge]

but, it's binding right?

[grand eagle]

Enrollment thingy

Yea it is binding but you can technically not go

[lusty forge]

you mean the $200 payment that you're supposed to pay after getting your acceptance, right?

[grand eagle]

Theres this rumor that if that happens that high school is blacklisted tho

Yeye

[lusty forge]

only for that ed school, right?

[grand eagle]

Yeppp

[lusty forge]

alright, that's not a problem then!

[grand eagle]

Ye good luck bro

[fiery garnet]

this is very serious problem

you can decline ED offer ONLY when financial aid package is not enough

[solemn wraith]

ofc

its not like they can force u

technically

it will just have serious repercussions

[fiery garnet]

it is not "legally" binding but colleges take the problem seriously

they will most likely rescind their offer immediately

[grand eagle]

It is definitely a problem

[fiery garnet]

if it's found out that the student declined ED offer without any proper reason

did your counselor agree with the student?

[fiery garnet]

this is about honor code and academic integrity which colleges take VERY VERY seriously

[grand eagle]

With the student last yr he just went to the other school without talking to the counselor

Idk the specifics on the financial aspects tho

[fiery garnet]

wtf

it is required for student themselves, student's parent, student's counselor to sign the agreement

and for student's counselor to make sure the student has withdrawn all their applications

the only way to get out of binding agreement and go to another college is "insufficient financial aid package"

[solemn wraith]

technically u can claim that even if the financial aid package is more than sufficient

i mean unless ur intl where they're need aware and have access to ur financial situation

[fiery garnet]

yea but it's unethical

[solemn wraith]

oh yeah its unethical

[fiery garnet]

I think admissions office can access student's financial information after each cycle

[solemn wraith]

only if u share it tho

like how would they know my family's income situation

they dont have access to the documents

[fiery garnet]

because it's "dean of admissions and financial aid"?

it's same person who oversees admissions process and financial aid process

for most colleges

[solemn wraith]

they dont have access to documents

oh wait

im a dumbass

FAFSA + css

💀

[fiery garnet]

yeah

[solemn wraith]

but u can still claim that like

ur family doesn twant to contribute

as much

[fiery garnet]

yes technically you can declare "insufficient" even if you get a full ride package

[solemn wraith]

💀

[fiery garnet]

but again

it's really unethical

someone got deferred or rejected because of the student

[solemn wraith]

its a dog eat dog world

[fiery garnet]

it is understandable why colleges blacklist a high school

college can't trust their system anymore

the student's counselor should've given more attention

[solemn wraith]

tbf

we can never trust college systems

[fiery garnet]

it's different

it was an agreement

with the college and 2 more people excluding student themselves

and they broke it

I believe yale (if i'm right) will rescind their offer if it's brought to their attention

[solemn wraith]

yeah its risky

i would not reject ed like that

[fiery garnet]

he'd declare insufficient if the student was wise enough

[willow garden]

how tho

If it’s full ride

[celest gulch]

!vanderbilt

[fiery garnet]

you just have to say "i can't attend your school with this package"

[solemn wraith]

!vandy

!vanderbilt

[zenith verge]

I think you said this already, but did you reach out to admissions personally? They told you it was too late? You would think they would want to pivot and not want to force you to stay in ED2 if there is a chance you don't want to go there

[cerulean warren]

85% of people who ask for an interview get those lol, don't dump vandy

i got one to and i ed2 vanderbilt

[weak rune]

Z

[glad spindle]

nope! I just applied for financial aid

[tidal hearth]

so you have it 100% covered?

[tidal hearth]

is 15 feb the most likely date for ed2 decision? man, the wait is so long

[solemn wraith]

think about how us rd kids feel

[glad spindle]

yep

[stable wind]

Dub

[glad spindle]

yes! it was on Feb 15 at 5pm CST last year

[stiff rivet]

soo putting this into the conversation

mosaic came out like monday the 13th last year

has anybody heard anything

[craggy holly]

holy moly i forgot

[stark steeple]

look at vandy's article about it

mosaic is announced after admission

[stiff rivet]

link?

[tidal hearth]

do we need to apply separately for MOSAIC?

[stiff rivet]

no!

[tidal hearth]

so, it is a likely if you get invitation before decisions then

[stiff rivet]

yes but the way they used to do it, everyone in the program

gets the likely

but depending on how they do it this year then

[tidal hearth]

ohh. i meant the invitation to MOSAIC = admit to Vandy before decisions

[craggy holly]

i think they come out late feb

not this week

[tidal hearth]

hmm. makes sense

[stark steeple]

https://vanderbilthustler.com/2023/12/15/diversity-in-vanderbilt-admissions-post-affirmative-action-and-2024-u-s-news-ranking/

its not coming out!

[tidal hearth]

"Christiansen added that the university will now decide the student invitees to the MOSAIC program after the admissions process, not during. "

so, clearly after decisions

does being first gen put you in advantage?

[stiff rivet]

thank u! was unaware of this article

[craggy holly]

oh … that’s disappointing

[livid ridge]

wen is vanderbilt ed2 decision date

[tidal hearth]

15th feb - as predicted

[silent moss]

So no mosaic this week?

[tulip shell]

did the admission officer respond to u?

for the letter of continue interest

[willow garden]

hopefully we’ll get email in the next 2 days about it

[heady stirrup]

Did they request any financial documents from you? (Except CSS/ISFAA)

[tidal hearth]

No according to her.

[whole spindle]

For those who got an email to submit ISFAA is it too late to keep expecting or I should go ahead and submit

[torpid marten]

are you ED2 applicant?

or RD?

[glad spindle]

That’s right, thank you for answering! I just sent the CSS profile

[glad spindle]

I even tried to sent my taxes to the admissions office and they told me they would reach out if they needed anything so dw about it too much (:

[heady stirrup]

Thank you!!!

[whole spindle]

@torpid marten I'm ED 2

[dense fox]

is Feb 15th the confirmed date for ED2 decision?

or is it + - 2 days

[uncut lantern]

I read somewhere that Vandy will email its applicants exactly 24hrs before the decision notice

[dense fox]

Oh ok

[dawn gust]

yay

2 days

[willow garden]

it doesn’t feel real 😭

[dawn gust]

will get rejected anyway

eager to witness the moment of renection once again

😔

[uncut lantern]

Super nerve wracking to think that Vandy has already made their decision on our apps at this point (ED2)

Wishing everyone the best of luck :)

[fresh panther]

no

they dont

quote from the previous vandy admissions article: Christiansen added that the university will now decide the student invitees to the MOSAIC program after the admissions process, not during. He explained that, through this program, Vanderbilt previously invited a select group of admitted students with diverse backgrounds who have “given a voice to change or to a group who didn’t have a voice” to campus for a recruitment weekend."

what

what are you talking about

[dense plume]

No portal astrology

[whole spindle]

Alright

Thanks

[willow garden]

same! hopefully everything will go well 🙏🏻

[craggy holly]

sorry that was before I read the article

[cold laurel]

apparently someone on cc called admissions and mosaic is still coming out mid feb.. we’ll have to see

[stark steeple]

???

bro im so confused??? the official article from admissions said they wont release

literally

[craggy holly]

i don’t think early mosaic would make sense

[stark steeple]

lol just assume who is diverse thru essays

[cold laurel]

thats not an official article from admissions.. its student run

[stark steeple]

it doesnt need to be.

"Dean of Undergraduate Admissions Doug Christiansen spoke to The Hustler about the Class of 2027’s demographics and the university’s admissions process and initiatives in the wake of this scrutiny. "

he was the one who said that mosaic wont happen

until after decisions

[fresh panther]

this feels like cap.

[cold laurel]

def could be🤷 just sharing what others have said

honestly doesn’t even matter for most of us cause only 200 get choses

chosen**

[fresh panther]

this is a2c

[fresh panther]

i feel like if they do host it before formal decisions come out, MOSAIC would be for people who belong to diverse communities (rural, unique accomplishments/diverse experiences)

[cold laurel]

Yeah this would make the most sense with the SCOTUS ruling, but only time can really tell

we’re like the guinea pigs😭😭

[craggy holly]

did u just call us pigs…

[cold laurel]

us

[craggy holly]

i call george

[onyx marlin]

lowkey scared of getting in

[oblique spear]

so does no one know when ed2 decisions come out?

[fresh panther]

im not

[dense fox]

!vanderbilt

!vandy

bruh when

plz

[oblique spear]

https://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/vandybloggers/tag/early-decision/ heres the historical record of results being uploaded

dates arent given

tho

[dense fox]

I'm guessing it's feb 15th

[oblique spear]

i have a gut feeling its tomorrow

[lusty tendon]

why tomorrow? in december

(ed1)

vandy came out on a thursday

idk guys im just here

[oblique spear]

its a gut feeling

[oblique spear]

or maybe not maybe feb 15

[dense oak]

Is anyone planning to contact Vanderbilt Admissions through mail or Instagram to inquire about the release date of ED2 decisions?

[heady stirrup]

let's just wait

[dense oak]

🙂

[strange rune]

does vandy do interviews

[willow garden]

the only thing they can do for us tomorrow is to officially announce decision release date 🙏🏻

that’s enough

[heady stirrup]

Nope

[fresh panther]

you can

[dense oak]

It's haunting, would wait rather 😭😂

[thorny ingot]

saw somewhere that if you got deferred ed 1 you could be considered for ed 2? seems wrong but wanted to check

[stable wind]

Its true

@lusty tendon is doing it

[thorny ingot]

how lmao

they send you a email or something if you were eligible?

[fast shell]

idk how this will work tbh

[lusty tendon]

yes, they sent emails in december to deferred ed1 -> ed2 students

[oblique spear]

honestly, the anticipation is killing me and isnt allowing me to focus on school work

[lusty tendon]

i think it'll be anounced tomorrow :) just try to stay focused on other things in your life, i am also anticipating it, but we should try to find the things we can control rn

in dec it was also announced on a wed (night before the decision, a thursday)

[lusty tendon]

but whatever happens, we can roll with it!! i did some good work on AP research and went on a date with my bf since today is technically ash wednesday for me :) what did u do today?

[willow garden]

awww what a great news! I’m very happy for you 💖💖🫶🏼

may god also bless us on 15th pls

[oblique spear]

its 11 in the morning where im at

[tidal hearth]

16 for us i think

[oblique spear]

has anyone contacted the admissions office

[dense fox]

The guy said sometime this week

And we should get an email before the release

So basically it didn’t rlly help

[oblique spear]

bruh

[tidal hearth]

friday i guess

they'll probably close the office on saturday and sunday

[dense fox]

I’m guessing tmr

[oblique spear]

i think theyll do it today

central time 5pm

[tidal hearth]

why today?

at least 24 hours message prior to decision

or have they ever released decision without notification

[stark steeple]

when does mosaic come out?

this week?

[uncut lantern]

heya i read somewhere that vandy will email its applicants 24h before the decision release, so unfortunatley it isn't today

fingers crossed that it's tommorrow though omg

[willow garden]

1,5 days left 😍😍😍😍

[lusty tendon]

i think the email will come today, but decisions tomorrow night

i cant wait

[oblique spear]

how do you know its tomorrow night?

[willow garden]

man she literally said “I think”

let’s just wait 😭

[oblique spear]

oh my bad i saw tom night and that was it

[willow garden]

we’re stressing too much over it now 😁 but dw we’ll hopefully get our decisions soon

we’ve been waiting for so long

2-3 days aren’t that long anymore

[oblique spear]

its cruel to not tell the exact release time

cruel i tell you

[tidal hearth]

do other colleges announce the date few days earlier?

otherwise it would make sense to inform 24 hours earlier

dartmouth sent me notification 48 hours earlier

[oblique spear]

most colleges give the date and time

like duke for ed 1 gave the exact date and time

a while before they released the results

[fresh panther]

is mosaic even coming out?

[little heron]

Yield protection incoming...

[stable wind]

I dont think vandy yields big guy

[craggy holly]

they emailed me double checking I meant to apply to vandy instead of harvard 🥺

[fresh panther]

lmao

[fresh panther]

dyt mosaic will happen or nah? ik there was that admissions article but there might be a possibility they could invite ppl this yr?

[tidal hearth]

nope. only after the admissions.

[tidal hearth]

yield protection in ED? doesn't make sense.

[fresh panther]

awww

[fresh panther]

do they still do likelies

[tidal hearth]

i don't think so.

no one has received anything afaik

[craggy holly]

if it does, it will come out next week

[little heron]

(It's a joke)

[fresh panther]

why next week

[craggy holly]

that’s historically when it comes

(after Presidents’ Day)

[stark steeple]

so funny

I didn’t know it snowed either

Where I am it legit snowed for like 5 mins

[onyx marlin]

Ohh ok that makes sense

[dense oak]

This week... You mean the decisions would be released latest by the upcoming Sunday i.e. 18feb?

[onyx marlin]

Wont be released on the weekend
