Does anyone have details on when Vanderbilt usually releases ED2 decisions in 2025? I'm anxious about hearing back and want to plan around it. If you've been through the process, how did it go for you?
Vanderbilt University typically releases Early Decision II (ED2) admission decisions in mid-February. While the exact date can vary from year to year, based on past cycles, it's usually in the second week or so of February.
It's crucial to remember that response dates and times can change, and the university has the ultimate say on when they are prepared to release the decision batch. On the day of release, decisions are typically available in the early evening and can be accessed via the applicant's online portal.
Applicants generally receive an email prompting them to check their status on the portal. However, it can take a while for these emails to roll out to everyone, so don't be overly concerned if you notice other people reporting their decision before you get your email. Try to stay calm and patient during this period - everyone is in the same boat waiting for results!
Regarding the ED2 experience, many applicants report mixed feelings of anticipation, nervousness, and excitement - all of which are natural. It's beneficial to keep in mind that, regardless of the outcome, there are countless paths to success and numerous excellent universities out there.
Good luck – I hope you receive good news from Vanderbilt!
