I’m already in from Mosaic, but all of us in the Girls Roommate Group are super excited for the packets even though we know we got in. Something about the tangible packet is much more real 🙂
March 23rd, 2011
Congratulations to the Class of 2015! I hope you all take a chance to check out the wonderful student organizations and clubs on campus. As President of the Young Americans for Liberty chapter, I look forward to recruiting more brilliant freedom lovers.

Just wondering, do the accpetance packages resuire a signature? Thanks…
March 23rd, 2011
Ginnie: A signature is not required.
March 23rd, 2011
So 25% over 795 for “admitted” applicants … That’s higher than last year’s “entering” class @ Harvard! It appears as if an “arms race” is ensuing…

Does VU consider siblings who are currently enrolled at VU?
March 23rd, 2011
Phineas: Having a current sibling on campus is one of the many intangible factors we may consider during the application process. This is not to say it would “get a student admitted”, but as with many qualitative factors, it is considered.
March 23rd, 2011
Are parallel statistics to “Highlights of the admitted class” available regarding the whole applicant pool?
March 23rd, 2011
Adam: We have statistics for applied, admitted, and enrolled. We will publish a wide variety of data through the summer and early fall.

I just want to leave kudos to Vanderbilt and Kylie for this amazing blog during the admissions process. I wish other schools had done this. Having such complete info and great context along the way has been awesome – and way more time- efficient and stress-reducing than surfing College Confidential’s speculative discussions (with other schools, the only way to even hope to find out what is really going on!) Thanks again, much appreciation for the time and thought you’ve invested here.

Middle 50% SAT (CR + M): 1440-1590
WOW! So, wouldn’t that mean, then, that the top 25% of admits had 1600 on their SATs? Or am I misunderstanding this? This seems just astounding.
March 23rd, 2011
That doesn’t mean 25% had 1600’s. At least a couple of the top 25% still would have a 1590. Actually, it is possible but improbable that 0% of admits got a 1600.
March 24th, 2011
Can’t wait to get my decision! I’m hoping it will be today…These stats are insanely high though.
March 24th, 2011
Ben… I know of at least one admitted applicant with a 1600 (me! :D)
March 24th, 2011
I know I need to be patient because transfers come second…but as soon as there is transfer info I’d love some.
March 24th, 2011
Lauren: I’ll be focusing more on transfer admissions as we reach the end of April and early May. Look back for info at that time!
March 25th, 2011
what time will international admission decision emails be sent out?
March 25th, 2011
Is it true that acceptances were sent priority mail and rejections/waitlists were sent regular mail? That’s the rumor…..
March 25th, 2011
The packet arrived today but I am confused about family weekend. Brochure says Oct 8-10, website says Sept. 16-17. Could you please clear this up? Thanks and GO ‘DORES!
March 25th, 2011
Judy: The website is correct, the brochure went to the printer prior to change being made.
March 25th, 2011
I agree wholeheartedly, whatever the decision is –
this blog is a great idea, and it makes the college process more transparent and a little less stressful. It seems that every school has received a significant jump this year in applications.
March 25th, 2011
I’ve heard that acceptance packets are sent through priority mail while rejections/waitlists are not. So if we haven’t heard, say, in NY, while others in the state have, should we be worried?
March 25th, 2011
Diane & Ann: Yes, as I stated in my previous blogs, admit packets went out priority mail and all other letters went out first class mail.
March 26th, 2011
Hello, I have just one question. Say for instance a student receives a rejection letter. Can that student call an admissions representative to ask why he/she is not accepted?
March 27th, 2011
Andre’: You are welcome to call or email your admissions representative about your decision.
March 28th, 2011
Kylie are you a VU representative?
March 28th, 2011
Akshay: I am an admissions counselor here at Vanderbilt! I have the state of Indiana and the suburbs of Chicago as my territory.
March 28th, 2011
Thank you so much for keeping us all informed throughout the process. Vandy is an absolutely amazing school and I wish all the best to the new class of 2015. We are extremely sad that our daughter was not admitted but know the statistics were extemely high. We love the university as well as the area. All accepted students are very lucky to have such a great university to attend. Thank you again for all of the information and your wonderful staff. Best of luck to the new class
March 28th, 2011
Looking forward to receiving the decision soon!

Does Vanderbilt have enrollment deferral for students who wish to spend a year doing relief work overseas or other volunteer work, etc?
March 29th, 2011
Commodore: Yes, deferrals are a possibility. Contact Harper Haynes (harper.haynes@vanderbilt.edu) to get the process rolling.

Thank you! Are they still a possibility for students accepted through the wait list?

When will those students hoping to be admitted through the wait list be notified about their final admission status?

With this class being historically the most competitive, do you think that some of these admits may also have been accepted at HYPMS ?. It will be interesting to see how many enroll.

3.48% rank is very impressive!

That means tp 25% admitted have either 1590 or 1600 SAT scores. Hard to believe.
