<p>Congrats on your acceptances. My stepmom and uncle went to Vandy and had a great time and it has really made a difference in the job market. I have applied RD and I waiting patiently. I have good backups w. scholarships and honors college but I still want Vandy. We’ll find out soon.</p>
<p>janeygirl7: I believe that your math and critical reasoning scores are well above “average” for Vandy, but your solid AP scores show that you are human. Congratulations as you clearly deserve to be admitted to one of the best schools in the country.</p>
<p>Has any NMF who applied RD and listed Vandy as their first choice received their acceptance letter yet? </p>
<p>Although Vandy is Brandon’s second choice overall - but his first choice NMF school - I’m starting to get worried now that I see all of these acceptances! </p>
<p>Congratulations to all who’ve been accepted so far!</p>
<p>Should I do the interview if my SAT or ACT is low?</p>
<p>I think it’s too late for it to matter much now.</p>
<p>i didnt do an interview and i got a $20,000 scholarship, so i kinda dont think they matter very much.</p>
<p>accepted!!! =]</p>
<p>I am not sure why Vanderbilt sent out some acceptances already but many have not heard yet. Does anyone know?</p>
<p>Those invited to MOSAIC were sent an acceptance letter.</p>
