    Thanks for your question. We follow the College Board’s regional designations on this issue — they were not defined by Vanderbilt.

    Things have changed a bit since the Class of ’67 which was the first racially integrated class and 2/3 of the undergrads were guys (looking for girls)!!

    It’s every parents dream and then some. A wonderful collection of people that are united by major brain power. Hopefully, the Vandy Network will enrich the students lives after graduation. Now, more than ever it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.

    Can you tell us how many VU Class of 2015 freshmen were admitted from the waitlist?

    The most recent data is not yet available, but we can tell you that this year’s waitlist class is shaping to look a lot like last year’s.

    My daughter’s applying for the 2016 class.  This info will help her understand the significance of her application.

    Is race a factor considered in the admissions process at Vanderbilt?

    No, race is not a factor in the admissions process. Because we believe strongly that a diverse community offers the most meaningful college experience, we seek students from a myriad of backgrounds and locations.

    What was the breakdown for the class of 2016 for which pool they were admitted under? How many were ED 1? ED 2? and regular? Is ED 2 any of an advantage over applying regular? 

  • Ryan Burleson

    Historically, we have admitted a third to 40% of the freshman class through Early Decision. The Early Decision II pool is typically smaller than the Early Decision I pool. It is not necessarily easier or harder to be admitted in one Early Decision pool vs. the other. (There is a statistical advantage to applying through Early Decision vs. Regular Decision, but it’s important that students apply Early Decision only if they are 100% sure that Vanderbilt is their first choice school because Early Decision is a binding admissions plan.) Because the size and quality of our Early Decision II pool fluctuates fairly significantly from year to year, we do not publish a breakout between EDI and EDII.

    does attending a community college for a year hurt your chances for transferring to Vanderbilt?

  • Jay Watson

    Thank you for your question, Caroline. We consider transfer applicants from all types of schools. That being said, In our transfer admissions process, some preference is given to students who have been enrolled full-time in college-level coursework at institutions similar to Vanderbilt. The majority of our admitted transfer students come from a competitive 4 year university, but not all of them.
