Early Decision Application Deadline is November 1

Posted by on Wednesday, October 28, 2015 in Application Process, Early Decision, General Information.

The deadline to submit your application under our Early Decision I decision plan is this Sunday, November 1, 2015. In order to be considered under this plan and learn your admission decision by December 15, 2015, make sure to submit your completed application and all additional materials by November 1. Early Decision is a binding commitment to enroll at Vanderbilt if you are admitted. It is a signal to us that Vanderbilt is your first-choice school … so make sure you’ve thought this decision through.

If you want to apply early, but won’t have your materials ready by Sunday, you can apply through our Early Decision II plan. The deadline to apply through EDII is January 1, 2016, and students who apply through EDII will learn their admission decision by February 15, 2016.

    Hello,

    All of my materials show up as checked off in MyAppVU except for my ED agreement and counselor recommendation. In my common app, both my counselor recommendation and early decision agreement say downloaded on 10/31/2015. Can I still be considered for admission during Early Decision 1 even though my application says incomplete in MyAppVU? Everything has been sent but the ED agreement and counselor recommendation just have not shown up in MyAppVU. I am very concerned that I will not be able to be considered for admission during ED1.
    Thanks for any information you can give.

    Hi Wilton, thanks you for your question. You should contact your admissions counselor directly to check on these specific items. I can say that it sometimes take a little extra time for submitted items to show as complete in MyAppVU. Your counselor can give you more information about your specific items. You can find your counselor at http://admissions.vanderbilt.edu/your-counselor/. Thanks again for your question and for your application!

    Hello, I’m a current junior in high school. I am planning on applying to Vanderbilt next year. I am looking for the application fee to apply to Vanderbilt. Where could i find that? Or how much is it?

    Thanks for your question, Jaclyn. The application fee is $50, and waivers are available in some circumstances.

    Hello,

    I applied ED1 and am ecstatic to receive my admission decision! When you say that the decisions will be out December 15th does that mean December 15th at midnight on myVU account?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your question, and your application! We have not specified a time of day that we will release decisions. Watch the blog and your email for more about decision release as we get closer to the date. And, yes, your decision will be available first via your MyAppVU account.

    So excited to hear on ED 1 decisions. Are the decisions emailed or will a letter be sent in the mail?

    Glad to hear you are excited – we are too! All applicants will learn their decision through their MyAppVU portal. Admitted students will also receive information via mail. Thanks for the question.
