What type of grass is on the soccer field? How many declared majors are in the philosophy department? Is a double major in biology and chemistry the same thing as a biochemistry degree?

Before school begins each fall colleges and universities think we know what the incoming class is going to look like (statistically speaking), but we can’t be absolutely confident. Therefore we wait 10 days for everyone to get to campus, begin classes, and get in a groove before we take count. This college/university census is known as...Posted by Kylie on September 30, 2010 in Application Process, Academic Life at Vanderbilt, admissions, admissions blog, Admissions Statistics, Application Process, Balance, College Admissions, decision process, Early Decision, Early Decision at Vanderbilt, undergraduate admissions, vanderbilt, Vanderbilt Admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions Blog, Vanderbilt Admissions Blogs, Vanderbilt Admissions Committee, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt Balance, Vanderbilt Blogs, Vanderbilt Early Decision, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions
A deadline is a deadline is a deadline… unless it’s a suggestion? As a senior in college there are A LOT of dates to remember (you better get a calendar/planner/iPhone application to help you remember everything). Sometimes a deadline is hard and fast – as in if you don’t meet it you’re out of luck....Posted by Kylie on September 29, 2010 in Application Process, admissions, admissions blog, Application Process, Balance, College Admissions, decision process, Early Decision, Early Decision at Vanderbilt, Ingram Scholarship Program, undergraduate admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions Blog, Vanderbilt Admissions Blogs, Vanderbilt Admissions Committee, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt Balance, Vanderbilt Blogs, Vanderbilt Early Decision, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions, Vanderbilt University Merit Scholarships
One night last year I was pouring over Sam’s application for admission to Vanderbilt. In terms of Vanderbilt’s applicant pool, he was fairly average. Solid academic achievement with test scores in the 90th percentile, but nothing about the numbers jumped out at me as extraordinary. I don’t remember Sam’s essay, but I’m sure it was...Posted by Kylie on September 22, 2010 in Application Process, admissions blog, Application Process, Balance, College Admissions, decision process, Early Decision, Nashville, Vanderbilt Admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions Blog, Vanderbilt Admissions Blogs, Vanderbilt Admissions Committee, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt Balance, Vanderbilt Blogs, Vanderbilt Early Decision, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions
Last year I was responsible for approximately 1,000 applications. Numerically, far too many of my students look identical. It’s the intangible pieces: essay, letters of recommendation, and extracurriculars that set one student apart from another. The essay is my personal favorite. I love a good story. I know, though, that this can be a stressful...Posted by Kylie on September 13, 2010 in The College Essay, admissions, admissions blog, Application Process, College Admissions, decision process, Early Decision, Early Decision at Vanderbilt, undergraduate admissions, vanderbilt, Vanderbilt Admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions Blog, Vanderbilt Admissions Blogs, Vanderbilt Admissions Committee, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt Balance, Vanderbilt Blogs, Vanderbilt Early Decision, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions
I’ve had a lot of experience with school and school-related stress. Throughout my undergraduate education, graduate education, and my time here at the OUA I have developed a few coping mechanisms.
