Vanderbilt Class of 2028 Official Thread

International students should submit their financial information to all colleges because they are need aware, meaning that financial situation is a factor in the evaluation of their applications. Financial document requests are particularly significant for international students, as their financial situations heavily influence the application process.

I was informed today that I am a semi-finalist for the curb scholarship. Although the email said that this does not mean I am being given admission to Vanderbilt, do you guys think that being a semi-finalist means there is a good chance I will be?

Ofcourse Congrats!

yes you are right, I had my reasons though :slightly_frowning_face: . Anyways I completed it now. :slight_smile:

when did you get the email?

I explored last year’s Vanderbilt forum on College Confidential. Vanderbilt uses IDOC after accepting students. I wonder really,
really


why Vanderbilt collects this financial information though. Some people mentioned that they only have CSS on their checklist. I’m not sure if Vanderbilt removes other things when decision day is approaching. Do all students have three items in their checklist like me?
If anyone knows how does Vanderbilt get things from our idoc?

for me it’s just CSS profile, there are no other items on the checklist. And Im international here.

I have those three items in the checklist and they have been there since January.

Did you submit it they requested other items then in January? Just i wonder why do they request tax reports though they will use idoc after accepting.

When have vandy merit notifications come out in the past?

Any deferred applicants?

Same here. I’ve had those items since I applied in December. I received an email to upload tax documents as soon as I applied.

are you guys domestic?

D24 has no checklist under ā€˜Financial Aid’. Under ā€˜Financial Aid’ tab, we only have ā€˜upload’ document option. And she has not received any emails asking to fill out CSS or FAFSA. She did indicate that she would not apply for financial aid in her application though. Domestic.

Exact same facts here. Also indicated not applying for financial aid in application.

No applied for financial aid, no checklist

yes

My D got the email and we uploaded the docs. It said because she checked financial aid she was getting the request but I don’t think she did. She did however apply for merit. I hope they really are need blind!

You are right . I also doubt this part because some institutions ask people docs but they don’t accept after that. So i also suspect it.

Will the CV scholarship decisions come out next week?
