PreVU: A Program for Rising Seniors
What is PreVU?
PreVU is one of Admissions' most comprehensive programs, giving rising seniors and their parents a 360-degree view of everything that makes Vanderbilt one of the top universities in the world. Over the course of one action-packed day, visitors will learn about the university's excellent academic programs; discover how we empower a diverse and talented student body through the support of 350+ student-led organizations; get the facts about selective admissions and our no-loan financial aid policies straight from the officers themselves; tour our park-like campus, classified as a national arboretum; and meet with current students to hear what life is truly like as a Commodore.
