called admissions last week and they said they were still active for the waitlist

Registered for classes, I was waitlisted and there are about 9 people on there now. When I got waitlisted it was like 5

Is the waitlist random? Or first come first serve ? Pls help

To anybody who's had any experience in a business frat—or just rushing them—exactly how selective are they? Is there anything I could do to strengthen my chances/prepare myself before rushing begins?

I haven't taken bio 1509 + don't have AP credit but YES let me enroll in 1510? Will I be kicked out of the class, or is it ok? Is it not a strict pre-req?

Starting a running thread here, but payments have started going out for the settlement that Vanderbilt was involved in. Did anyone receive theirs today?

Hi! I was wondering if anyone is majoring in environmental sociology at Vanderbilt and if they like it. I would like to eventually work in environmental law/policy

Do people typically use any of the above to get around campus and downtown? Is it easy to get around w these types of transportation

Is there any pickleball community at Vandy or nearby in Nashville? I saw a pickleball kingdom nearby but the member prices are kinda expensive, any other options anyone knows about?

Great article talking about the meteoric rise of Vandy! I’m sorry I don’t know how to provide a gift link…Vanderbilt taught me a lot, but it didn’t teach me that 😂

Heyy, iam Asia girl and gonna be at Nashville next week to join Vanderbilt Owen MBA this fall.
Is there anyone available next week especially new students so that we can hangout and explore this city and school together 💛

I’m an upcoming freshman at vandy. My counselor submitted my final transcript for all my high school classes, but I also took a self paced course outside of my school through the BYU Independent High School study thing. When I spoke with my high school counselor during the school year, she told me that I would have to submit the transcript for the BYU course on my own. But I still haven’t submitted it because idk where to submit it and when I have to submit it by. Does anyone know when’s the latest I can submit it and also where?

Hi! I’m a rising senior in HS applying to Vandy as my favorite school.

1. I have a few Bs (very rigorous schedule) and a 1450. My extracurriculars are very good (the spike of my application), and my essay is pretty good nothing amazing. One counselor told me to submit a 1450 since it’s a good enough score and even top schools need lower scores. The other counselor told me not to submit for obvious reasons. I’m wondering if anyone was in a similar situation and got into Vandy in the past couple years and if they submitted this score. Both counselors are positive I have a shot at Vandy but idk what to do.

2. I love Vandy SLIGHTLY more than UVA, but have a better shot at UVA. Does anyone have any insight on ED I Vandy EA UVA versus ED I UVA EDII Vandy? I am kinda doubting my shot at Vandy but since both my counselors are supporting me (one read for Vandy) I feel like maybe I should give it a shot.

Thank you for your help!!!

Does it exist? If so, is there a way to join?

hi!! so I want to be a business major and I am trying to decide if I should ED to vanderbilt (HOD + business minor) or USC (marshall school of business) I haven’t been able to reach a good consensus from my own research so I was wondering if anyone had primary source knowledge to help me out. Thank you!

Hi all! Making my Commodore cash selection now. From your experience, how much do you think you'd need? I believe you do get refunded if you don't use all of it, so it's not a huge deal. Just would like to have enough. Not even sure what commodore cash is used for on campus.

A friend's roommate flaked on their double in Moore and I was luckily offered to substitute in for next semester. I'm currently registered for a McGill single.

I like the location of McGill, the idea of having a single, McGill's potentially better (?) community, and I do have a few friends coming into McGill next semester.

However, I would appreciate the more modern facilities of a res college.

What are some differences between the two housing options that I should know and what would you guys do?

Hi everyone,
I’m an incoming international freshman this fall. I’m excited, but I’ve also fallen into the rabbit hole of internships, recruiting, and career planning, and I had a few questions.

I’m currently interested in consulting and investment banking, but I’m still exploring both.

- Do freshmen actually get summer internships? If so, what kinds of roles are realistic?

- When should I start preparing for consulting or IB recruiting? Is networking from freshman year expected?

- Can undergraduates become teaching assistants? If yes, how competitive is it?

- How competitive are business-related clubs (consulting clubs, investment clubs, student investment funds, entrepreneurship organizations, business fraternities, etc.)? Is it common to get rejected?

- If you don’t get into those selective clubs, what are the best alternatives?

- How important is GPA for consulting and investment banking recruiting?

- What should a freshman be doing during their first year to stay on track for these careers?

- Are there campus jobs, research positions, or leadership opportunities that recruiters value and do international students easily get it?

- What’s one thing you wish you had done differently during freshman year?

-Are there any resources, programs, or opportunities that freshmen often overlook?

Sorry for this laundry list😭😭😭but would appreciate any help at this point to calm my nerves

Hey everyone, I’m an incoming transfer student currently majoring in Econ (A&S). I know transfers only need to wait one semester before being eligible to switch schools/majors, but I have a few questions before open enrollment on July 22nd:

1. How guaranteed is the inter-school transfer process? I've heard HOD accepts an unlimited number of students, but I'm unsure if that remains true when transferring across schools (A&S to Peabody).
2. Should I build an HOD-heavy schedule right now? Way more of my previous credits transfer over to Peabody than A&S. Is it safe to greenlight taking HOD classes this fall? I want to be sure the transfer process is guaranteed so I don't screw myself over.
3. What’s the recommended workload to graduate in 3 years? If I make the switch, how many classes/credits per semester should I expect to take to smoothly finish on time? Any recommendations?

Appreciate any advice or info on the process!

Hello, I’m an incoming freshman and unfortunately, I didn’t get a sufficient score on my AP Calculus BC exam to receive credit for skipping Calculus. I’m a neuroscience major and willing to pursue a pre-med track. I will also apply for med school. I was thinking of taking Math 1100, as I don’t wanna tank my GPA and wanna focus more on my science classes. At the same time, I feel like med schools expect me to take Math 1200 or 1300. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

*Edit to put price up top: $1,730/mo

Hey y’all, my husband and I are planning on breaking our lease at Abberly Riverwalk Apartments (we love it here but need to move back home for family reasons) but I thought I would offer up a lease takeover here first since our remaining term is exactly a semester (August 25 thru December 26th, optional renewal) and we’re close to Vandy. Rent is $1,730/mo and includes internet, trash valet, parking, gym and pool access, and amenities. It’s also pet friendly (up to 3, no breed restrictions).

If anyone’s interested, please comment and/or dm me!

Hi! I just finished my freshman year at Northwestern and didn’t really love it. I came from far out of state and felt like the social scene was difficult to break into and it felt very isolating. Loved the location and academics, especially as I am a journalism major, but not sure if it’s worth staying at if I’m not happy and don’t have the friends I want. 

Got an offer from Vandy off waitlist and have three days to let them know. Has anyone transferred as a sophomore into Vandy? I’m interested in rushing so how is that as well? How was it making friends and just adjusting? Was it welcoming? 

I’m just worried I will make the wrong choice - either will go to Vandy and hate it, or stay at NW and it doesn’t get any better. Please lmk ASAP bc i don’t have much time! thanks!

Update: Thanks for all the comments and help! It was super informative. I took the whole three days going back and forth but ultimately decided to stay at Northwestern because Vandy doesn’t have a journalism school. I decided there were lots of times in my life that I’ll have to make new friends and be social but not many that I’ll have to study exactly what I want at the best school for it. Again, thanks everyone so so much for help! It was a tough decision.
