Vanderbilt Class of 2017! Forum

[wildcat43]

$105,000 plus the $5,000 stipend mentioned earlier. Hoping that I can negotiate for more later, but this definitely puts Vandy in my top 2.

80K here. Now I can finally get excited for the visit.

From LSN, it seems like last year two Law Scholars were notified around April...cutting it close to make it a deciding factor.

Hi all, first time poster here.

I was accepted back in early December and have numbers at/above both 75ths. I had the 1/25 mailing show up and then disappear but now I have a blank mailing dated 1/27. I still have not received a scholarship offer, though I am located in the 2-day mail range. Any idea what might be up with that? (I did apply for the Law Scholars awards if that makes any difference)

Getting kind of nervous that I haven't heard anything.... Vandy is definitely a top choice if money came through.

I don't think applying for Law Scholars makes any difference for that- all applicants are considered for regular merit aid independent of that. I'm in the 2-day range too and haven't gotten anything yet either- but I think it may be a weather-related mail delay on my end since I didn't receive any mail at all yesterday. Hopefully today for both of us!

MY PARENTS THREW AWAY AN ENVELOPE FROM VANDERBILT!!!! I called the office and they said I had to wait until Friday....

Okay, that makes me feel a little better that I'm not the only one, though I have gotten my mail everyday. Here's to today being the big day!!!

I confirmed via email that Law Scholars Apps are still under review. Good luck to everyone that applied!

I have two rules to mail:
1) The list of schools I applied to are on the fridge, anything from them is an instant text message, possibly picture message.

2) Everything else is kindling...

[Beercules]

Deece scholarship offer, but not as high as some peer schools offered.

But I guess Vandy's tuition is comparatively low, so not terrible all things considered.

Any NYCers headed to ASW?

I wasn't home when the scholarship letter came, so I told my mom to send me a picture of it. Wellll she sends me a picture of the letter but the picture did NOT include the amount....after asking her to send another and her not responding, I just called her. Excellent trolling, mom.

Except for the 2K increase for next year. Not real cool.

[FluffMonster]

Ok, so I just checked my mailbox and I STILL haven't gotten my scholarship letter. Ugh. The wait! :/

[Yea All Right]

On one of the pages included in the scholarship envelope, there's a comparison between COL in Tennessee vs. COL in other major cities.

Dat difference tho.

Yeah...... My parents did not do me a solid on this one. I don't even know how they managed to throw it out...

[Robbin Blue]

I still can't find my post box key to see my scholarship offer... I called yesterday and they said to call back Friday and they'll e-mail me the offer. After GULC's weak offer, I'm curious about Vandy.

[ZipWhenSheMoves]

$75k!! 167/3.7. About what I was expecting after scouring LSN over the weekend- very happy .

[Caroa1992]

Does ANYONE have any numbers for Law Scholars Awards? I have a 4.0/170 so it's a huge stretch for me but I'm just curious who actually receives them. Also, is anyone trying to negotiate? Apparently it's been done before but I can't seem to actually find a concrete example of it.

[PrideandGlory1776]

Does anyone know if Vanderbilt negotiates with its scholarships? I've heard there one of the few that does not. Can anyone confirm that?

I don't think it's a huge stretch for you at all, definitely not as much of a stretch as it is for me atleast lol

You should pm arklaw, if you look back a page or two you'll find him. He can give you more info on law scholars
