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 510+ student-led organizations; get the facts about selective admissions and our no-loan Opportunity Vanderbilt policy 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.

Dates for PreVU 2013 are below. Registration is required. Families should not make travel arrangements until after receiving confirmation of their enrollment in the program.
