Your Admissions Counselor
At Vanderbilt, we believe in the importance of providing personal attention to each individual within the context of a high volume, highly selective admissions process. Our admissions counselors will be available and accessible to you throughout the college search and application process.
We designate counselors based on the high school you attend. If you attend a boarding school, select the state in which you attend high school. If you are a transfer applicant, your counselor is based on the high school from which you graduated. Select the counselor you would like to contact from the alphabetical state list provided below.
