Greetings from Nashville! I’m sure we can all agree that spring has felt different this year from anything we’ve previously experienced. We missed the celebration of graduation and seeing the happy faces of our excited seniors, and we missed the end-of-year traditions for all of our younger students, too. Transitions are never easy, and while this may have been one of the more difficult seasons, we have great hope for the futures of our students.
Our admissions work at Vanderbilt continues—we are excited to see the entering class of 2020 solidify even as we continue to make offers from our waitlist. We expect the waitlist process to continue through early July as it typically does.
Of course, we are thinking about high school juniors and sophomores and working hard to give them ample opportunities to get to know Vanderbilt. We are excited to add Virtual High School Visits to our online offerings. The virtual high school visit is designed to mimic in-person high school visits to allow your students an opportunity to engage with their admissions officer. We will host 30-minute sessions, each covering one of five different topics: Vanderbilt overview, financial aid and scholarships, highly selective/holistic admissions, finding your fit, and essay writing. We will present these discussion-based sessions over Zoom so that you and your students can ask questions in real time. To learn more and to request a virtual high school visit, please submit this request form.
Although Vanderbilt has made the decision to cancel on-campus events through the beginning of August, we encourage you and your students to stay in touch with us and to take advantage of our online information sessions, hosted daily. Please bookmark our virtual visit page because we will be adding more opportunities during the summer, including ways students can engage with faculty and staff throughout the university to learn more about what life as a Commodore is all about.
As we reflect on the past year of working through the application process with you, and particularly on the past two months, it's clear that we would not be able to do our work without you. Thank you! We look forward to our continued partnership.
Sincerely,
John O. Gaines
Director of Undergraduate Admissions Vanderbilt University | ||
