2025-2026 Vanderbilt

[imbadatwritingessaysahhhh]

Thank you so much!!! I missed that page completely!!

MSAR will be more accurate, once you account for yield (divide # of matriculants by yield rate will give you # of acceptances). Admit.org data will be biased.

Anyone who submitted on 7/10 got II yet?

Anyone who submitted on 7/10 got II yet?

I submitted my secondary on 7/21 and got my II on 10/13, but literally who knows how they are processing these applications.

 

[decrepit2023]

Interview was very chill and conversational, kira was kind of hard but it was short. Not a big deal. Kira is like just random behavioral questions. Might be easy, might be hard. There is no good way to prepare for it, just gotta do general BSing practice and then wing it.

Submitted mid-July and haven't gotten a R email yet...Do they usually send more II after waves of R's?

Yeah, for sure. Vandy is one of the few great medschool who are transparent. They have a tracker on their Admissions website. I read they would like to send around 600-700 II's according to their website they have sent 444 II'S. So anywhere b/w 156-256 II's left

sorry if this has been answered already, but are these R's for those who had submitted secondaries or hadn't submitted secondaries?

View admit.org

Seems like it is those who submitted a secondary

 

[ravensarecool]

Wonder if they'll send out more Rs on Monday... submitted 7/16 with no R yet, and it seems like the rejection wave yesterday was for July submissions

 

[frost.byte]

+1 OOS II today! 🙂

 

[CurledAlarmist]

+1 OOS II today! 🙂

great way to start the morning!

 

[frost.byte]

great way to start the morning!

It really is!! I am so incredibly excited and grateful. I applied as a gamble because my stats are so far out of range, but I guess stats aren't everything! 😍

 

[axpathetic]

+1 OOS II just now

 

[fakeeagle]

Congrats!! when were you complete and what do you think helped secure the II?

 

[frost.byte]

Congrats!! when were you complete and what do you think helped secure the II?

I was complete the first week of August. I'm not entirely sure honestly... I have a unique background and spent a lot of time weaving that into my story through my writing, so I think that probably helped!

Anyone know if Vandy appreciates pre-II letters of interest?

 

[bojanglesss]

Anyone know if Vandy appreciates pre-II letters of interest?

MSAR says "
Candidates who receive a secondary are invited to update their file, through our Admissions Portal.
For interviewees, candidates are welcome to update their file with a Letter of Interest and explain why they feel a connection with VUSM.
"

Two questions:

1. Do earlier interviewees have higher odds at vanderbilt to get an A?
2. Do we know when the first A wave may come?

Good luck everyone!!!!!

Depends on whether Vanderbilt admits multiple times or a single time at the end of the season.

People who interview earlier are evaluated each time there is a admission list if they admit people multiple times.
