Average essay. Great recommandation from baseball coach.</p>
<p>Guess what, I got accepted already.</p>
<p>joseph771130,</p>
<p>What class are you in? These are interesting statistics… you should consider posting at the private admissions tracker at collegedata.com. It’s free and confidential.</p>
<p>Did you secure an interview?</p>
<p>Would you please clarify your acceptance, specifically what school at Vanderbilt did you get into? Also, when did you apply and when did you learn of your acceptance?? Finally, were you any kind of athletic recruit or other type of recruit?</p>
<p>I assume you have more to offer than you are letting us in on. Stats are not everything, and considering that you have only been in the U.S. a few years, I am guessing that fact was taken into consideration. You must have had some outstanding recs — and are you a baseball recruit?!</p>
<p>Schools need more than just 2400 SAT students. Students who round out the campus are important. Vandy must have decided you could handle the work, or you wouldn’t have been admitted. I have to admit, though, that I am surprised by your post. Are you gloating? If you are simply pleasantly surprised, then okay … but if you are bragging that you got in while “better qualified” candidates did not, you might need to check your attitude.</p>
<p>Considering joseph771130 stated about a week ago he applied to Northeastern, and the only way joseph771130 would have been notified of his admission status is if he applied ED1, we have ourselves a liar…however, this isn’t to say someone with similar “statistics” would never be admitted to Vanderbilt.</p>
<p>Well, I really hate to be called a liar.
I applied both Vandy and NEU like whodunnit said under regular decision.
And like I said, my baseball coach wrote me a great recommandation.
He used to work in Nashville and also a really good friend with Douglas Christiansen, director of undergraduate admissions
My coach notified him the day after I submitted my application.
And yes, few days ago, my coach told I’m in.
But the decision shall not be released by mid-march.</p>
<p>To collegejunkmail, no interview for me.</p>
<p>To dajada07, I applied school of engineering.
since I went to a school with less than 200 kids, I don’t think sports will be anything special about me.</p>
<p>I start this thread just to encourage people with low test score.
Be more confident about theirselves.</p>
<p>joe,</p>
<p>Still not sure about your comments. As you probably know, Vanderbilt has a very strong baseball team. Are you an athletic recruit or just someone for whom a high school baseball coach wrote a strong letter? Would you please clarify? Thanks.</p>
<p>I find it very hard to believe that the admissions committee has already rendered you a decision (I have been told that they are working around the clock on EDII applications of which they have received a record amount) and damn near impossible to believe that they would have told your baseball coach (who is no different than any teacher who writes a reccomendation because you are not a sports recruit).</p>
<p>I doubt that they admissions office would have even talked to your reccomender on the phone and would certainly not disclose personal details about your application. The day after my letter came my sister called admissions and she couldn’t even access my decision. I’m sorry but your story just does not check out.</p>
<p>If what you say about the coach saying you are “in” is true, you might want to be careful about believing it. I know someone who was told by WashU that he would be on their soccer team. Problem was, when the decisions came out, he was waitlisted. </p>
<p>If you really started the thread to show people SAT’s aren’t that important, you should realize that — if what you say is true — you are one of only a very few who will ever get such a lucky break.</p>
<p>This guy is NOT AN ATHLETIC RECRUIT, he just happened to ask his baseball coach for a reccomendation.</p>
<p>Look, it doesn’t even matter anymore if joseph was actually accepted by Vanderbilt or not. He is using an example(his) to illustrate what looks like to be an honorable point. Scores don’t make an applicant and high school students should have confidence in themselves, particularly when all anyone hears these days is how good everyone else is, or more importantly, how everyone else is “better” than them. Sure his story sounds awfully fishy, but we should be congratulating him and not tearing him down…which I suppose, starts with me.</p>
<p>Anyways, I apologize for calling you a liar and good luck with your college decisions.</p>
