<p>i probably wont go here…too conservative for me. at least i have options. this is the first college i got a decision from so im pretty happpy!</p>
<p>I just wanted to add that not all RD decisions have been sent out. Most will still be sent out on April 1st… I just didn’t want there to be any confusion and have someone get their hopes up. As I understand it, only those invited to the MOSAIC thing and those who were offered a significant amount of merit aid recieved theirs. Just wanted to clear that up…</p>
<p>Congrats again you two!! Hope to see you at Vandy if you decide to attend!</p>

<p>[/ul]Why do you think you were accepted: I think my essays are really what made the difference for them. I have decent stats and I have a lot of involvement in my school extracurricularly.</p>
<p>General Comments/Congratulations/etc: Congrats to everyone who got accepted early. I hope to see some of you at MOSAIC!</p>
<p>I was accepted into the Blair School of Music for Musical Arts (Voice). I got the letter today from the Blair; it said that Vanderbilt Undergraduate Admissions would send me something by April 1.</p>
<p>What is the MOSAIC program? Did all of you get money as someone mentioned earlier? I still don’t quite understand why some people were notified now and others weren’t…</p>
<p>Congratulations, s.thomas! When was your audition? (I’m wondering how long it takes after the audition weekend for the acceptance letters to go out.)</p>
<p>From what i understand the mosiac program is a weekend where you go down to Vanderbilt, see the school, etc. Mosiac stands for multi cultural so i presume it will be a diverse group of kids. Also it seems that the only reason why they sent some of the decisions earlier was so tah some prospective students could attend programs like Mosiac. I hope that helps.</p>
