Dr. Christiansen answers 5 key questions for the website College Admission
Dr. Douglas Christiansen gives you a inside look at how extracurriculars play into the admissions process.
Indianola, Iowa is my hometown. My parents still live in the same house that I grew up in. Except for my sister, who came to Nashville after visiting me, my whole family still lives in Iowa. I am the admissions counselor responsible for Arizona, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, and Canada! Say that...
Lexington, Kentucky is my hometown. I am the admissions counselor responsible for Arkansas, East Tennessee, South Texas, West Texas/El Paso, and Dallas/Fort Worth. In the office I help organize our MOSAIC program, work with the Chancellor’s Scholarship committee, answer admissions questions emails, write for the admissions blog, and generally keep everyone in stitches. My favorite...
Shaker Heights, Ohio is my hometown. I am the admissions counselor responsible for China and the Chicago area. I call it the “Chi” Territory, or the best territory. In the office I’m on the International Team, I work on the Vandy Fan for a Day program and our Counselor Conference program and I co-supervise our...
As we had hoped, we will use the waitlist this year to complete our Vanderbilt Class of 2015. Over the next several weeks we will be offering admission to some students who are active on our waitlist. To understand how our waitlist operates, read my previous post on that matter. Some points to remember:
Thank you to our transfer students for being patient with us throughout this process. I know the vast majority of admissions information out there aims to serve first-time freshmen and their families. However, Vanderbilt has not forsaken our transfer students! Somehow my daily responsibilities moved from regular decision mailing day to spring travel to transfer...
Wow. A few months ago April 1 seemed like the magic date when everything would settle down, but here we are at the end of April and admission work is still full steam ahead! I’m busy and I know you and your family are busy so let’s get down to the nitty gritty.
Spend a day getting the inside story on our admissions process, learning more about our superior academics, finding out how we support diversity, discovering what we do to make Vanderbilt affordable, taking a campus tour, and seeing for yourself what life is like at one of America’s top universities.
I had an amazing meeting with my student bloggers this past Tuesday. A core part of our meeting included planning for April blog topics and we kept circling back to the same question, “What do our readers want to know? What questions do they have? What do they want us to write about?” So today...
First, take a breather and appreciate what you’ve accomplished. Then, explore our Class of 2015 page. This will answer most of your questions about the matriculation deposit, setting up your VUnetID, and requesting housing on campus. Also, explore the Common Place Class of 2015 message board where you’ll find helpful information regarding your life here...
Yesterday we officially mailed our Class of 2015 admission decisions! Every year Mailing Day is a celebration for us here at OUA as it represents an entire year’s worth of recruitment and evaluation. Today the office is officially closed to the public as OUA staff members take a much needed breather and prepare for a...
