Vanderbilt University (2025-2026)

[low roost]

what majors u think

well yes they have 70% already

[versed cobalt]

but I think that they will give merit based tho

[low roost]

i was thinking similar to good old wsahu

they will be good boys and not yield

[versed cobalt]

apparently washu dont yield but they have hella feeders in missouri

[low roost]

washu def doesnt yield that much

they def look at apps and compar

[versed cobalt]

no one in my city got in

[low roost]

their rd yield is very bad and washu has accepted their low t20 status which is still a t20 nonetheless

[versed cobalt]

its cooked

[low roost]

maybe gking

[versed cobalt]

maybe

[low roost]

what city

[versed cobalt]

big city

so

i might not know of ppl

but like from the main schools that are doing good rn with acceptances i havent heard of anyone

hella waitlists

[versed cobalt]

from ED?

[low roost]

for washu

[versed cobalt]

shi im lowkey feeling a vandy waitlist

[low roost]

and vandy yes

[versed cobalt]

waitlist warrior

[low roost]

vandy says this online

about their ED

[versed cobalt]

i want cornelius vanderbilt scholarship tho

prolly wont get

[low roost]

i thikn its around 60%

im not sure

i think washu is 70%

ik vandy is p high tho

[versed cobalt]

damn so thats why RD is so brutal?

[versed cobalt]

yeah there will def be a lotta yield

but i deadass wanna get in

prolly waitlist/reject

[quiet flower]

vanderbilt yield protection is crazy

what's your reasoning for assuming vandy yield protects lol

[versed cobalt]

they openly admit it

its well known they practice yield protection

[low roost]

the middle t20's def do

[versed cobalt]

around 50% yield rate

[quiet flower]

wait they openly said it?

[low roost]

esp the ones with ed1/ed2

[quiet flower]

where do they say that

[versed cobalt]

yes its ell known they do

[low roost]

bro theyre yielding the 1% applicants

not every1

not enough spots

but if they know u wont go no point wasting resources tryna admit

[quiet flower]

yeah with how crazy selective vandy is already like

[low roost]

they obv wont pass up on every super cracked person

they also take into account fit

[versed cobalt]

theyre yielding the top applicants, already70% of their class deermined by ED

[low roost]

yield likely wont impact the normal applicant

[versed cobalt]

yes

[low roost]

only 1% of ppl are top applicants prob

[versed cobalt]

only top applicants yielded

[quiet flower]

unless ur a 3x isef grand winner or something i cant see yield protection happening LOL

[versed cobalt]

like the RSI kids etc.

[versed cobalt]

not necessarily

u could still get yielded w/o that

[low roost]

i agree with Tri but i think 98% of ppl dont have the level of app to get yielded

it comes down to fit

[versed cobalt]

ye thats fax

[low roost]

i know many ppl alr who made hypsm colleges that didnt make cmu or jhu

[versed cobalt]

im not good enough to get yielded i think

so i better get in

[low roost]

they got wiatlisted and they had less competitive ppl

esp ones who used chat on their cmu supps

that got in from their school

[versed cobalt]

ik HYPSM kids who dont get into UT Austin

[quiet flower]

college apps are so random </3

[low roost]

yea but just cuz u made hypsm doesnt mean u have ot make ut austim

public schools def factor in stats a lot

and are less hollistic

they get more appliacnts usually

[versed cobalt]

ya

[low roost]

u wont get yielded from vandy but

[versed cobalt]

he also got WL from texas a&m lmfao

[low roost]

i think vanyd does take into account

if ur gonna attend

[quiet flower]

might just be my feeling i just feel like it's unlikely that top schools, esp crazy selective ones like vanderbilt/ut austin and stuff, would really yield protect

[low roost]

no they def do lol

JHU does too

any school with ed1/ed2 is scared abt their yield

[versed cobalt]

usually schools with high ED acceptances do

[low roost]

jhu has no shame so they will do this

[versed cobalt]

ye

[low roost]

washu not so much imo

again just my theory

[versed cobalt]

that means EDing gives u a legitimate benefit

[low roost]

myself and a lot of other cracked ppl got wl a few places but made hypsm and a lot of top state schools early

thats just my theory

ik ppl who bs'd their app and made jhu as well

and i know what type of student they are

they just larp in school

[versed cobalt]

i got in ut early but im getting waitlisted rn

[low roost]

so i dont think there was smth wrong with my app it has to be fit or they dont think i would go

[versed cobalt]

did u apply washu?

[low roost]

yes i did

[versed cobalt]

accept?

[low roost]

yea

[versed cobalt]

W

[low roost]

i was p confident washu

[versed cobalt]

i got WL lmfao

[low roost]

they only accept 1 person from my school

and we're p competitive

[formal mural]

Hi

[low roost]

but again anything can happen

to think u have a chance is delusional

[versed cobalt]

id say so many ppl larp ECs

[low roost]

u should always think u wont make it

[low roost]

most ppl overestiamte how good their app is

i didnt have any college counselor but i asked all of them to evaluate my apps

[versed cobalt]

like larp on common app

[low roost]

for the free evaluation

[versed cobalt]

yeah this is me lowkey

im getting humbled rn

[low roost]

they cant but it wont be corrborated

with other pieces of evidence

[versed cobalt]

WL jhu and washu

[low roost]

their recs

gpa

writing

if u exagerate for sm stuff

there should be some proof

like u raised like 20k or smth

[versed cobalt]

wb raised 2.5 million lmfao

[low roost]

bold statement

ao's arent dumb

sm1 deleted smth

[versed cobalt]

yeah

ill dm it to u if u want

[low roost]

sure!

[low roost]

[buoyant root]

Thank you, I stated my interest for verto education

Hopefully I can go

[raw ermine]

[dense quiver]

[trim violet]

nah probably not 😭

[low roost]

did u get in

[trim violet]

waitlisted

WL Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Oxford College Emory
Accepted USC and regular Emory lol

ngl vanderbilt waitlist was not unexpected

I literally had a dream about it months ago

[outer panther]

eyyy did anyone else get the Vetro program

for vandy

[heavy burrow]

Anyone else unable to claim their waitlist spot in MyAppVU

[buoyant root]

Ya everyone did I think

I opted for it

[outer panther]

[buoyant root]

yes

[outer panther]

only 10% get wl lwk

not bada

[buoyant root]

By everyone I meant waitlist

[outer panther]

basicly an acceptance

[buoyant root]

They took 279 off last year so pretty good odds

[outer panther]

yeah

w waitlist

[terse nexus]

bro they accepted too many ppl alr

[outer panther]

icl

[terse nexus]

that’s why so many waitlisted now

[buoyant root]

well

I’ll take it as a win

[low roost]

is ivy day cooked

[low roost]

i got in but im not going

so that's at least 1 spot open (assuming its more than their yield prediction)

[trim violet]

oh dang rly

good to know

[trim violet]

congrats!!

[outer panther]

yeah pretty raer

[outer panther]

xd

[low roost]

id trade any acceptance today for the ivy that i want

[fading gulch]

[outer panther]

[hexed shale]

whats good vandy gang

cant belive i nailed it with merit scholarship too

[hexed shale]

i got into both vandy and uw

i think uw is a great school, very prestigious in the seattle area and the entire pnw in general

even if you go to a school like ucb a lot of people there wear uw merch since its so popular in the pnw

[left furnace]

guys did vsnderbilt email u anything after result came out

if u got in

@hexed shale CONGRATS!!

[hexed shale]

nein

they didnt even email me anything abotu results being out lol

[buoyant root]

okay so 279 got off last year

that aint bad

thats pretty good

[quaint oracle]

i think they sent me the wrong acceptance, had a pretty big typo saying "we regret to inform you...", anybody else?

[left furnace]

yea same must be a glitch

i think they meant to write full tuition scholarship??

[next plover]

Wait for the guaranteed transfer program

If I do it then am I like tehcnically a Vanderbilt student

[buoyant root]

Yeah

you would be

but the program is expensive asf

Hopefully gates scholarship covers it

N hopefully I get gates too

[next plover]

oh wow

that’s so cool

[buoyant root]

If yall states your interest in the program did any 1 of u guys get a confirmation email?

yeah I’d lowk study in Spain or Italy ngl

[next plover]

I stated my interest. I didn’t get any email

[buoyant root]

I’ve always wanted to study abroad anyway

[next plover]

[buoyant root]

This is fr a perfect opportunity

[buoyant root]

Me too

[next plover]

idk for one year seems a little long

I’m kinda scared

[buoyant root]

well one year as in

one college year

[raw vigil]

Did anyone get the study abroad program? Is it hard to get??

[buoyant root]

so two semesters

[next plover]

ohhhhh I see

Wait are we like basically guaranteed admission to the study abroad program?

[outer panther]

xd

[fringe topaz]

where can you see the costs?; nvm i foudn it on the website, its specific to each place

[tulip arch]

anyone else see a waitlist form before a decision letter😭

[tulip arch]

yes! i'm assuming all waitlist candidates gotnit

[raw vigil]

I didn’t even get waitlisted, got deferred ED2 and got it. That’s the only part of my letter too

[tulip arch]

oh

[raw vigil]

Like there wasn’t a rejection or waitlist

[buoyant root]

[raw vigil]

I submitted my interest and got a text like 5 mins later

[next plover]

😔😔🫰

[buoyant root]

Yes and I was like fuhhh

[pine herald]

vandy portal is evil 😭

[fading gulch]

[fringe topaz]

How legit is this guaranteed transfer thing

/worth

[next plover]

Wait did u guys submit the deposit yet

[hexed shale]

[buoyant root]

No you only do it once you get admitted

Otherwise it ain’t refundable

If you don’t get in

[next plover]

Ohh

[ruby flare]

any international students get in?

[queen latch]

same, got the verto offer without any mention of a waitlist

[raw vigil]

Did u have the rejection part in the bottom of ur letter? Ik some ppl did

[queen latch]

it says "On behalf of all of us at Vanderbilt, I wish you every success as you consider your college choices. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any service to you in the future."

[raw vigil]

Ya that’s what mine says

[queen latch]

okie dokie

[versed cobalt]

waitlist warrior

[dense saffron]

dang bro straight rejection 😭

[trim violet]

yes 😭

[lethal stream]

bruh same

[radiant flax]

Got in as intl ;)

[ruby flare]

ayy congrats same here, what are you hoping to study

[radiant flax]

Engineering

But I’m prolly going to ucla

[wicked raft]

Wait

VANDY HAS TO THIS YEAR?

[queen latch]

does anyone here have experience with Verto Education? bit nervous about this transfer pathway stuff, especially since it's apparently the first time vanderbilt's doing this

[mighty hemlock]

did anyone rejected get offered verto?

[queen latch]

i believe so

[mighty hemlock]

apparently some waitlists didnt get offered verto

im confused how they choose who gets it

[queen latch]

yeah it's weird

maybe they prioritized ed applicants? idk

[last token]

rejected 36 act

[radiant flax]

Wait I got the Crescere Aude merit scholarship
what’s that

[ruby flare]

I got it too, from what I understand its basically a stipend that grants u up to 6k to pursuit experiences that build your character so like internships, study abroads, stuff like that, i heard its around 25% of the incoming class that recieves it so congrats

[crimson vault]

Waitlisted with the provisional transfer thing

[cedar forum]

Same here feels like a consolation from the real scholarships 😭

[hexed shale]

i never applied to the "real scholarships"

so it feels like a bonus to me lol

[radiant flax]

Me2 I was surprised by this

For engineering(computer-related), is it recommended to go to Vandy or UCLA?

I’m struggling cuz I feel like ucla is too crowded for resources

[heady mirage]

any ed people get a merit scholarship?

[versed cobalt]

vandy

[radiant flax]

why

[hexed shale]

UCLA and vandy are about the same for engineering, but vandy has smaller classes and a bigger endowment:student ratio

More funding

[radiant flax]

but vandy's engineering is ranked 39 and ucla is 13

dunno

[versed cobalt]

oh i didnt know that

i honestly dk u should ask someone more experienced with this

[radiant flax]

Ok thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[median hinge]

Yh im in the same boat and struggling to decide

[hexed shale]

imo it depends how ya wanna learn

i feel like a big school like ucla with funding means that youd join up on other research projects with funda

while having lower funds for solo/passion projects

whereas vandy has fuck off money for whatever

so if you're a go-getter and want resources to do your own ideas for projects id go vandy

but if you want to have lots more projects and stuff to join then do ucla

[patent quail]

vanderbilt (full ride+ 6k stipend) - hod and data science pre med or columbia (2k) - econ and data science pre med

[dense saffron]

I shall go to vanderbilt

Despite rejection

[raw ermine]

columbia

[wraith tundra]

verto sketchy af

[mighty hemlock]

i agree

[hexed shale]

Any advice on which dorm is best?

[versed cobalt]

do I trust ts

[tulip arch]

interesting lols

filled up in 2 days😭

[faint imp]

oh was that the transfer thing

[tulip arch]

yeah😭 😭

[faint imp]

well

if u didn’t do it then ggs

[tulip arch]

i dont think i would've lol but i think its interesting how fast it filled up

[faint imp]

fear

also just associsted prestige

[wicked raft]

I am confuse at the transfer program

Can you still do the transfer program if you got rejected

Or is it offer to you as an alternative pathway

[hexed shale]

Yes

But only if they offer you it

And it's closed now anyway since they're out if spots

[wicked raft]

Oh lmaooo

[buoyant mortar]

you dont get to pick… but hank

[hexed shale]

i see that '29... bias much?

from what i heard online it is hank lol

[buoyant mortar]

hank by far lol biggest rooms, a basement, a library, everything is new… the list goes on

but stambaugh/sutherland/murray/crawford are also pretty good

[hexed shale]

which one's the worst?

[buoyant mortar]

just pray you dont get west or north or gilette or memorial

west JUST got flooded yesterday cause fire alarm went off and sprinklers went crazy

[hexed shale]

yeah i heard west sucks...

[buoyant mortar]

gilette floods sometimes too

[hexed shale]

didnt know the others were bad though

[buoyant mortar]

and the ceilings are like 6’5

and rooms are tiny

[hexed shale]

good thing im short 😭

[buoyant mortar]

LOL youre good then

memorial is also tiny and old

[hexed shale]

oh rreally

i heard memorial was good

which has the best kitchen if at all

[buoyant mortar]

hank

hank has the best everything

[hexed shale]

bathroom?

[buoyant mortar]

um i personally like sutherland which is where i live

cause

we have like gender neutral bathrooms that lock

[hexed shale]

oh zamn

might have to sneak over

[buoyant mortar]

and are like 1 person at a time

so if i wanna take a shower and not be bothered by someone else you can just do that

hank doesnt have that

some north singles have their own bathroom tho

[hexed shale]

hmm

[buoyant mortar]

but like its probably 2 rooms in the entirety of commons so u have to be extremely lucky

[hexed shale]

is it like timed showers or what

i know some places are like that

but vandy's rich so im not sure

[buoyant mortar]

um no u can take as long as u want lol

[hexed shale]

w

[buoyant mortar]

also the showers are pretty good they have good pressure and heat pretty fast

[hexed shale]

also is there a vandy discord by any chance

other than the .edu one i think exists

[buoyant mortar]

not that im aware of

if there is one its not a big thing

[hexed shale]

hmm

do you have to have a dormmate

or is solo an option

[buoyant mortar]

you can choose 1 or 2 roommates and thatll give u a double or a triple for sure but

you can also go random and have the chance of getting a single

but its pretty rare

[hexed shale]

zamn

how'd you find a roommate?

i think i should prolly go roommate hunting before i pay that 400 deposit

[buoyant mortar]

we had mutuals in my high school

[hexed shale]

im fgli

[buoyant mortar]

[hexed shale]

others say its shit

[buoyant mortar]

its alright people like to complain a lot

[hexed shale]

its like 21 meal swipes a week right?

but the commons dining hall is pretty good

[buoyant mortar]

as a freshman you get 335 per semester + like 250 dollars to spend in some specific things

[hexed shale]

[hexed shale]

[hexed shale]

freshman 15

[buoyant mortar]

theres a thing called munchie mart

[hexed shale]

heard of it iddk what it has

[buoyant mortar]

they have snacks that you can get for swiped

its like

one entree + 2 sides + water for a swipe

theres labels on everything to say what category it is

[hexed shale]

as a snack?

[buoyant mortar]

some things are not for a swipe tho so you have to use commodore cash or ur card

[buoyant mortar]

yea yea snacks

[hexed shale]

like what if i just want some chips and a gatorade 💀

[buoyant mortar]

yea chips are a side

gatorade is not for a swipe

[hexed shale]

i honestly noticed far more black girls than guys for some reason, other than that every race seemed to be 50/50 on gender

[tender radish]

cuz when i did the info sesh like 2 years ago everyone was a white guy from florida lmao

[hexed shale]

probably somewhere around 300

[tender radish]

oh shit

[hexed shale]

uhhh

the reported 20% asian seemed about right

[tender radish]

like 50% white

and 30% rest

[hexed shale]

[tender radish]

dude

[hexed shale]

I like my food a bit spicier than that but not too far past

[tender radish]

i have a mid to low spicy tolerance so i thought their "mild" would be fine

i didnt get hattie b's but there was afood court

when i went to dore for a day

[hexed shale]

cmon mid to low

[tender radish]

my friend couldn't finish the chicken dude

[tender radish]

[hexed shale]

Yeah...

Bit awkward bc a lot of people knew each other

I was lowkey tryna network and maybe find a roommate

Failed on both 😔

[tender radish]

dang how

i think im the only person going to vandy from my school this year

maybe one other person

[hexed shale]

Lots of same schools

[tender radish]

vanderbilt doesnt like my school

[hexed shale]

I'm the only person in my school's history to get into Vanderbilt

[tender radish]

this for me

[tender radish]

the 32 act guy who got in RD's dad is the CEO of a fortune 500 company

💀

[hexed shale]

I bought Medium

Since its a sandwich i reckon the sauce and bread takes a bit off the spice so mild is too little

[hexed shale]

Hb the 22 act guys

[tender radish]

doesnt exist at my school lmao

i go to a private boarding school

idk why my friend isnt showing up here but he got a 4.0 and 35 act (current soph rn)

[hexed shale]

@tender radish did u get tenders or burger when u went

[tender radish]

i got some sandwich

like tenders on bread

i have a pic of it

[hexed shale]

bro ts was NOT spicy

[tender radish]

????

bro

[hexed shale]

I got medium

[tender radish]

maybe hattie bs aint that bad

but the place i went to was spicy as shit

[hexed shale]

It was like mid spice

I thought you said you went there?

[tender radish]

not hattie bs

there is a food center

where the line is shorter

[hexed shale]

Oh

Hattie bs is more of a famous chain so maybe they dialed down the spice

[tender radish]

wait i got a pic

[hexed shale]

Bro i ATE ts up

Delicious

[tender radish]

this was in the food center

and it was spicy as shit bro

[hexed shale]

Bread🐔pickle ratio is fucked

No sauce too

Nah bro you need to visit hattie b's when you go to vandy

[tender radish]

yeah i should bro

[hexed shale]

I thought it was exaggerated but ts delicious

[tender radish]

going this friday

did u get in RD?

[hexed shale]

Yeah

[tender radish]

oh dang tuff

[hexed shale]

I made the 2.8%

[tender radish]

where else did u get into

[hexed shale]

Literally just vandy and state school (uw seattle)

[tender radish]

oh

[hexed shale]

I got full rides to both so I'd assume they thought I was competitive

[tender radish]

shit u got a full ride?

[hexed shale]

But I genuinely got rejected at like 22 other schools 💀

[tender radish]

dude how come so many of the RD kids got full rides lmao

[hexed shale]

Idk guess they had lots of money saved LOL

[tender radish]

they gave me a 10k stipend

[hexed shale]

Whaaat

They only gave me a 2k allowance in my finaid package

[tender radish]

oh i dont qualify for any aid

my parents make like 600k+ i think

[hexed shale]

You dont even need the 10k stipend 💀

[tender radish]

i thought i got full ride for a sec

😭

[hexed shale]

Im broke as hell brah my parents make like 1/10th of that

[tender radish]

i know some kids who chose vanderbilt full ride over princeton and shit

lowkey i would too icl

[hexed shale]

Yeah and thats a good choice tbh

Vandy is smart in giving scholarships out mostly to ED1 and ED2 applicants

[tender radish]

bro i havent seen a single ED kid get a full ride

everyone who got full ride is from RD

[hexed shale]

I'm a broke ahh questbridge kid so I've seen others get full rides by matching

[tender radish]

hey atleast u dont have to pay like 90k a year lmao

[hexed shale]

My COA was 102k lol

[tender radish]

for 4 years right

[hexed shale]

1

[tender radish]

????

it's that expensive?

[hexed shale]

Yes?

[tender radish]

i thought it was 94

they raised it again?

[hexed shale]

Does ur financials portal not say the same?

[tender radish]

where do i go

[hexed shale]

The status portal

There should be a tab

[tender radish]

myappvu?

[tender radish]

wait where

i didnt file fafsa

cuz i know im not getting any aid

[hexed shale]

Thats 98k not factoring optional costs that are basically mandatory

Including those my calc is 102k

[tender radish]

wait

where do u find it

cuz google says COA is 94

[hexed shale]

The financiak aid tab

[tender radish]

nothing bro

i didnt apply for any FAFSA or whatever css is so im assuming this doesnt apply to me

should i try out for FAFSA?

[hexed shale]

I guess

Just know your mandatory COA is like 98k

And actually mandatory is like 100k

[tender radish]

thats so fcking chopped bro

[hexed shale]

There's a 2k allowance they gave me so i scrape that off the 102k

[hexed shale]

I mean...

They generally give really good finaid?

[tender radish]

yeah it would be nice if i freaking qualified lmao

[hexed shale]

To be fair you make 600k...

Its not really needed atp is it?

Do you not have a 529?

[tender radish]

what's that

[hexed shale]

tldr its a college fund

[faint imp]

they lowkey don’t lmao

usually the scholarships are for picking off students who they think are going to go to other peer or higher institutions and they want them to come to vandy

[tender radish]

@hexed shale

yo u awake?

[hexed shale]

I was not lmao

Lowkey timeskipped this entire olane flight
