We consider the high school counseling community our partners. Together we help students understand college possibilities.
We provide you information about the college search process, our admissions review philosophy, and affordability for your students. We introduce you to Nashville, the city we call home. We help you understand all things Commodore so you can guide students that might be a great fit for Vanderbilt.
Through on-campus programs designed especially for the counseling community and via directors’ forums delivered virtually, we offer you a special look at Vanderbilt, our admissions process, and our financial aid programs. And throughout the year, you can connect with admissions officers via phone or email, or in person as we travel to your areas.
