How does Vanderbilt notify applicants when a decision has been reached?
All Early Decision I letters will be mailed on or before December 15; Early Decision II letters will be mailed on or before February 15; Regular Decision letters will be mailed on or before April 1.
Applicants who have not received a letter three business days after the mail date listed above may call or e–mail the Office of Undergraduate Admissions (615-322-2561 or admissions@vanderbilt.edu). The decision can only be released to the applicant, his or her parent, or the school counselor.
