Vanderbilt Office of Undergraduate Admissions Leadership
Note: Your counselor is based on the location of the high school you attend at the time of your graduation. If you attend a boarding school, select the location of that boarding school, not the location of your permanent residence. If you are a transfer applicant, your counselor is based on the location of the high school from which you graduated.
For information on admission to Vanderbilt's graduate schools and programs, visit the university's academics page.
