Got the A call 2 hours ago with full tuition!!!

 

[prizefloor]

Congrats to everyone who got accepted today! I am somewhat hoping they were only able to finish the scholarship calls today, as it seems there is a very high proportion here

 

[FernThePlant]

Just got the call! 😭😭😭😭

Just now?? As in like 7:30pm CST?

 

[FernThePlant]

Yes! 7:31 to be exact

Congrats and thanks for the info!

 

[procrastinating_cheetah]

Sorry I keep asking this 😢, but any MSTP calls yet?

Does anyone know an approximate date of when the last wave of acceptances will be released?

Very confident that it's March 8th; if not the 8th then the 15th for sure

 

[BubblyPanda21]

Did anyone who interviewed early on in the cycle (late Sept/October) hear back in the most recent wave?

 

[snowbolt23]

to confirm-- it's possible to hear back via email on Monday if you didn't get a call + third round will likely be 3/8 or 3/15ish + post interview WL/Rs will be released after the third round?

Having meticulously looked at the Vandy threads for the past few years, your statement is mostly correct. The only thing that may not happen is the emails on Monday, as this year is the first occurrence I've seen of it of any acceptance wave since 2021; either the Monday emails were an anomaly, were not reported in past years, or its a new thing for this cycle

 

[finnster]

Any Vandy students get an acceptance?

 

[BubblyPanda21]

still waiting.. pretty disappointed

Not yet!

 

[procrastinating_cheetah]

Any calls today?

 

[FFforM1122]

Any calls today?

I hope, but still too early i guess

 

[FernThePlant]

I'm not banking on any Monday calls/emails for myself, but for the December wave, the acceptance emails for people who didn't get the call on Friday didn't report them until after 5pm CST -- hopefully somebody gets good news today!

 

[sillychemistry]

The fact they haven’t done portal updates makes me think there may be a few calls today

So oddly quiet this time…

 

[BubblyPanda21]

guess no one heard back today 🙁

 

[NotADoctor1]

Any emails or portal updates yet for people who were accepted?

 

[aciei]

Any emails or portal updates yet for people who were accepted?

[pomegranatejuicebox]

Just got the email+portal update!

 

[procrastinating_cheetah]

Any MSTP acceptances in this wave?

 

[affable_dwarf]

anyone's portal down?

 

[ballislife123]

Is it too late to send update letters for the March 8th wave of acceptances?

Does anyone know whether Vandy matches scholarships given at other institutions?

 

[toastedbutter]

Does anyone know whether Vandy matches scholarships given at other institutions?

Anecdotally I was told by a person in the fin aid office they don't. If anyone knows differently please share

Can second this.

 

[procrastinating_cheetah]

Newsletter almost gave me a heart attack

 

[gekyumewrld]

I tried to negotiate a full tuition scholarship with Vandy and they did not budge

yeah this is currently my struggle and it sucks but it's j how it is.

 

[procrastinating_cheetah]

If we haven’t heard from the MSTP yet, is it safe to assume it’s either a WL/R?

 

[Sunrizon]

That's more likely at this point tbh

 

[not_a_doc_yet]

is there any chance we'll hear today?

I hope so… interviewed mid-sept so I’m wondering if it’s actually over for me 🙁

 

[Holland]

I was told March 8 at my interview in mid Feb

 

[genetics101]

So have MSTP As from the last interview dates been announced?

 

[toastedbutter]

Just to confirm, Vanderbilt never gives need-based scholarships to cover living expenses if you got a merit based scholarship for tuition, right? I am trying to figure out if I need to send them my CSS Profile. I already sent them my FAFSA for federal loans.

Yeah, the financial aid office told me they tried to cover up to 45% of demonstrated need, and getting any of the merit scholarships usually exceeds that amount already. I was told not to bother with CSS after I got 75%

@procrastinating_cheetah does your like on this message mean you’re wondering there same thing, or did you get confirmation somewhere that all MSTP A’s are out?

 

[Sunrizon]

@procrastinating_cheetah does your like on this message mean you’re wondering there same thing, or did you get confirmation somewhere that all MSTP A’s are out?

It's safe to assume they're all out right now. Because the website says they accept in two waves unlike the MD portion which accepts in three waves. Best to wait for WL or R at this point

 

[procrastinating_cheetah]

@procrastinating_cheetah does your like on this message mean you’re wondering there same thing, or did you get confirmation somewhere that all MSTP A’s are out?

Wondering the same thing. But I emailed to ask too and will keep you updated.

When I i interviewed in February they said decisions would come end of February or early March, I believe.

I interviewed in Jan. Don't recall what they said about decision dates, but they gave very concrete numbers which indicated a >40% post-interview acceptance rate
