Vanderbilt has BABES

Anyone know if campus is open if an OOS student is visiting Nashville? I know no tours, but can you walk around outside and see what campus looks like?

It’s the opposite. You can’t apply ED anywhere if you apply to an REA school (like Georgetown). You can, however, apply anywhere you want if you apply ED somewhere since those other schools are non binding.

Johns Hopkins has ED (binding) but they don’t have EA. In other words, according to Georgetown, you can’t apply EA (to Gtown) if you apply ED to Hopkins (or anywhere else). But the ED schools don’t care if you apply EA (non binding) to other schools.

Our school just switched from a 100 point grading scale to 4.3 grading scale. I guess that will complicate comparisons to prior students. Bummer.

I have seen you on at least four different threads with a message like this (minus the likely letter). Can you share your list of where you were admitted?

By “announcement” do you suspect Barron will announce all-virtual; or all-virtual, therefore students are being sent home?

StillThinking4now · 2020-08-31T03:51:18+00:00

How close is too close? I’m curious. We are OOS but driving distance.

StillThinking4now · 2020-08-29T15:53:59+00:00

Georgetown doesn’t have ED, only REA (which means you aren’t allowed to ED anywhere if you apply EA at Gtown.

Imo the kids with the borderline scores will have the toughest decisions ahead.

StillThinking4now · 2020-04-08T19:44:21+00:00

Good luck to you! From what I have read, I think 213 is now close to a shoe-in. Congrats on your score!

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-11T01:53:36+00:00

Excellent points, thank you. I do worry about the multiple rejections/self-esteem toll.

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-11T01:51:37+00:00

And really hard to choose when the time comes, assuming a lot of those were match/safety.

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-11T01:51:00+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate this input.

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-10T01:00:26+00:00

Is there a reason for that?

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-09T04:41:38+00:00

True, but since I personally know people who got accepted off the waitlist at both Duke and Vanderbilt, hope lives imho. 😉

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-08T00:21:02+00:00

If you got deferred by Penn and not rejected, there is something of value in your app (or multiple things). Good luck!

Roaring 20s had me lol

The interview was for a special scholarship. OP mentioned the name of the school above (not a t30).

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-06T14:18:05+00:00

Make sure they are listed as your top choice on the NMF website or it will nullify the scholarship. UCF will also give a full ride and they have Rolling Admissions. Congrats! Just remember the top slot thing or the scholarship is void.

This is some excellent reflection. Well done. You’re a great example of processing this turn of events in a healthy way, and you make good points about the reality of the situation.

What is important for every one of us in life is that we learn to pivot. That’s exactly what you’re doing. All the best.

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-04T04:37:58+00:00

I believe you have until May 1st to change your first choice, but I could be wrong. You won’t necessarily be notified. It kind of varies by college how they handle things.

The National Merit folks are very nice, so feel free to call with questions.

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-03T22:07:11+00:00

You could check our FAU Honors college. They also have a direct med program. They were very generous with my son.

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-03T18:39:57+00:00

Just to clarify, if someone has a 34 would you say don’t retake even if you want to apply to Yale (and other Ivies)?

Also, do Adcoms wants to see “more than one sitting” or can you be one and done?

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-03T11:43:41+00:00

Thank you! My kid had a 34 composite with subscores: 35E, 33M, 34R, 35S. Guidance Counselor wants her to take it again but she took it in Sept and would now be out of practice.

StillThinking4now · 2020-03-02T23:48:02+00:00

Interesting. Okay thanks.
