“1,600 spaces” – (ED1 + ED2) = ?
According the NY Times ED1 = 495
What was ED2?

Actually, “1,600 spaces” – (ED1 + ED2 + Merit Scholarships + ?)
According to the NY Times ED1 = 495
143 Cornelius Vanderbilt awards
What was ED2?
How many spaces are left???

Take3, Same ? (Sorry):
The New York Times reported 24,650 applications this year to Vanderbilt.
Now let’s do the math:
“1,600 spaces” – (ED1 + ED2 + Merit Scholarships + ?)
143 Cornelius Vanderbilt awards were offered
The New York Times reported ED1 = 495
Realistically, < 4/100 seats/applicants remaining

DandyDon: No need to rely on the NYT, I posted our ED stats back in February. Brent announced the merit scholarship information last week.

My friend who was also admitted ED I to Vanderbilt received and information packet a few weeks ago and I have not received mine yet. Should I be concerned or when can I expect it?

Jack: Our Open ‘Dores admit packet will not go out until mailing day. Whatever packet they received was not the OUA admit packet. Take a deep breath – yours is on the way!

When I attended a Vanderbilt meeting a couple months ago, the speaker told us that it is highly unlikely that more than one person from a particular school will be admitted, is this always the case?

Gen: I think you may have misunderstood our speaker. We FREQUENTLY admit multiple students from one high school. In fact, I have a school in my territory from last year that had ten admits in that single year! We have no quotas on geography or high school.

My school had 4/6 people admitted ED1 this year Gen, and there are only 150 kids in my grade.

Thank you for the reassurance 🙂

I attend boarding school and was wondering wether my admission decision letter will be sent to me at school or at my home address. Thanks.

Frances: Whichever address you listed on the Common App as your “mailing address”.

It has been extremely helpful to have the admissions blog–it was a candle in an otherwise dark process. In advance of receiving my decision, thank you to all in the Admissions Office.
