Vanderbilt Admission Decisions Will Mail Tomorrow

Posted by on Tuesday, March 22, 2011 in General Information, Scholarships and Financial Aid.

This is a short and sweet blog post.  Just the need-to-knows.

If you want more information, refer to my previous posts regarding mailing day.  If you have more detailed scholarship questions, check out my merit-scholarship blog from earlier in the month or contact the Office of Financial Aid and Undergraduate Scholarships.  Finally, if you have questions/concerns/comments, feel free to post below!  And if you are admitted to the Class of 2015, join our Official Class of 2015 FB group!

Keep calm and carry on!

Admission Decisions:

  • Decisions for domestic students will mail in the afternoon of March 23rd
  • Email decisions for international students will go out on March 25th
  • You cannot call for a decision until March 30th (at 9am)
  • The letters will mail to whichever address you listed as “Mailing Address” on the Common App
  • Early Decision students, MOSAIC students, and scholarship recipients who already know of their acceptance will also receive the official admit packet in the mail

Financial Aid and Undergraduate Scholarships:

  • If you applied for need-based aid and received admission, your aid package will come with your admit letter
  • If you did not apply for need-based aid, but now wish to do so you must contact the Office of Financial Aid and Undergraduate Scholarships
  • All recipients for the following scholarships received notification: Cornelius Vanderbilt, Chancellor’s, Ingram, Carell, Curb, and Lanier

    WoHoooo
    One last question: When do the magnolia’s bloom in Nashville?

  • Kylie

    March 22nd, 2011

    CommodoreBound: It varies by year. This year is unseasonable warm already so they might be early May. The past two years they’ve bloomed in late May/early June.

    Jay: Read my comments from the previous post. A number of special group RD applicants received notification including scholarship recipients, MOSAIC students, and some Blair students.

    Hi!
    I was put on the waiting list and was wondering if there is any way to find out what financial aid I would be offered. I know that this information is given later on, but is there any way to get it sooner?
    Thanks!
