This is the official discussion thread for Vanderbilt Class of 2030 RD applicants. Ask your questions and connect with fellow applicants.
When do the students receive their notices? March 31st? Thank you
Any updates on when RD will be released?
My best guess is March 25. That aligns with their approach the last couple of years of going a day before Ivy Day.

Do you know what time they usually release?
Has it been confirmed on the 25th? I think it might be 5 pm CST (6 PM EST).
I think it’s 5:00 Central, but that has not been confirmed yet. I have a feeling they’ll send an email early next week.

Did anyone else have a Explore our virtual and on campus visit in the application portal? Is it a good sign?
My daughter has the same thing in her portal, as well as a newly assigned financial aid counselor – she took it as good sign but we don’t really know!
I also have the, “Explore our virtual and on-campus visit options,” but I believe that has been there since forever.
You can check whether the change in your financial aid counselor is due to the previous counselor no longer working at Vandy. Something similar happened at WashU(?) when applicants with surnames beginning with certain letters were reassigned to a different admissions representative because their original representative had left the institution.
Ah ok – for my daughter, she was only assigned her first financial aid counselor very recently, and the visit Vanderbilt link is two days old. But who knows? Vanderbilt would be smart to add these things to everyone’s portal anyway!
That is interesting. I’ve always had a financial aid counselor in my portal, which happens to be the associate director of scholarships. I was under the impression that everyone is assigned one. Apparently not, according to Vandy CC threads in the previous years. It seemed like people with an assigned FA counselor tend to receive an admit status at a higher rate compared to those who don’t. But that might just be me coping.
DS has one assigned as well. She had never looked at the Financial Aid tab as we did not apply for FA, so not sure how long she’s been assigned. She also has the link for visits, but that doesn’t seem new. TBD!
Does anyone have any idea what time Vanderbilt usually drops RD decisions? I know the date is likely the 25th.
only speculation that it will be 5 pm central time on 25th.
right on the money!

Good luck everyone!!
Btw everyone has a commodore ID right? When i clicked on “Parent 2024 Tax Documentation” in the financial aid tab it had a commodore ID assigned to me. It is different than my refrence number. Im not sure if it was always there.
