I hope everyone had an amazing holiday season with friends and family! Here at Vanderbilt, OUA is back in full swing and we’ve got answers to your questions. With ED I and the New Year behind us (how did that happen?!), I know most of our readers are focusing on the next admission rounds. Here...Posted by Kylie on January 5, 2011 in Application Process, admissions blog, Application Process, Balance, College Admissions, decision process, Early Decision, Early Decision at Vanderbilt, Scholarships and Financial Aid, undergraduate admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions Blog, Vanderbilt Admissions Blogs, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions
Much of the information below will come as a repeat to you if you’ve kept up with the comments. Many questions keep popping up, though, so I wanted to address those major topics here. Additionally, I want to add a bit of a personal perspective in these last few days before our ED I applicants...Posted by Kylie on December 12, 2010 in Admissions Committee, Advice for Parents, Application Process, admissions, admissions blog, Application Process, undergraduate admissions, vanderbilt, Vanderbilt Admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions Blog, Vanderbilt Admissions Blogs, Vanderbilt Admissions Committee, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt Early Decision, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions
I know that once you click “Submit” on the Common App it feels anti-climatic. This year I’m walking applicants through the process at Vanderbilt in real time. Hopefully this transparency helps you feel less stressed. In a previous post I walked you through how I read an actual file. Here I answer questions about the...Posted by Kylie on December 6, 2010 in Application Process, admissions blog, Application Process, Balance, Early Decision, Early Decision at Vanderbilt, undergraduate admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt Blogs, Vanderbilt Early Decision, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions
I had a writing block this week. I think my head is full of all the writing my students put into their applications, which is amazing, but a block of sorts for my own words. I’ve been stewing for days and as I summarily rejected numerous ideas I put them into a mental category I...Posted by Kylie on December 1, 2010 in Application Process, admissions blog, Balance, College Admissions, 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

In a previous post I walked readers through how all of our mail makes it into a complete application file. I ended with the file landing in the “Read me!” bin of my office. The question begs, then what? How does an admissions counselor actually read a file, what are we looking for, and where...Posted by Kylie on November 19, 2010 in Admissions Committee, Application Process, admissions blog, Admissions Deadlines, Application Process, College Admissions, Early Decision, Early Decision at Vanderbilt, Freshman Commons, Nashville, undergraduate admissions, vanderbilt, Vanderbilt Admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions Blog, Vanderbilt Admissions Blogs, Vanderbilt Admissions Committee, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions
Yesterday we sent out several hundred incomplete notices to students intending to apply Early Decision I. We understand that many of these items are in our office and simply have not yet processed. If you received a notice, don’t stress out, you will receive consideration under our ED I plan as long as your application...

You hit submit. Whew. Take a breather, you’ve earned it. I understand that now you want to follow up and confirm we’ve received materials. However, give us some time. We have HUNDREDS of applications and pieces of applications pouring into our office every day. It takes time to process all of that snail mail and...Posted by Kylie on November 3, 2010 in Application Process, admissions, admissions blog, Application Process, Balance, College Admissions, Early Decision, Early Decision at Vanderbilt, Freshman Commons, undergraduate admissions, vanderbilt, Vanderbilt Admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions Blog, Vanderbilt Admissions Blogs, Vanderbilt Admissions Committee, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt Early Decision, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions
Vanderbilt is not an Ivy League in the South. No, I’m not going to be one of those naïve jerks who tells you the Ivy League is just a sports conference. I understand it means more than an athletic schedule. Wikipedia (the authority on all things pop culture) says the Ivy League has a “connotation...Posted by Kylie on November 2, 2010 in General Information, admissions, admissions blog, Balance, College Admissions, Early Decision, Early Decision at Vanderbilt, Nashville, undergraduate admissions, vanderbilt, Vanderbilt Admissions, Vanderbilt Admissions Blog, Vanderbilt Admissions Blogs, Vanderbilt Admissions Committee, Vanderbilt Admissions Website, Vanderbilt Balance, Vanderbilt Blogs, Vanderbilt University, Vanderbilt University Admissions
Yesterday I was sitting in a coffee shop in Bloomington, Indiana spacing off and thinking about the small joys of life – I had my first John Cougar Mellencamp sighting! I spent four years in Bloomington and it wasn’t until I came back several years after moving that I saw JCM milling about.
