I'm interested in applying to Vanderbilt and want to make sure I meet all the deadlines for regular decision. Can anyone provide details about the application deadlines or any important dates I should keep in mind?
Sure, I can help with that!
For Vanderbilt, the Regular Decision deadline typically falls on January 1. So you need to have your Common Application, including the Vanderbilt Writing Supplement, submitted by this date.
In addition to that, your secondary school report and official transcripts should ideally be sent to Vanderbilt by your guidance counselor by this date as well.
However, there is a grace period for some supplemental materials. Your standardized test scores, letters of recommendation, and supporting documents such as art portfolios can still be submitted and considered even if they arrive shortly after the January 1 deadline.
Please be aware that these deadlines can sometimes change, so it's always good practice to check Vanderbilt's admissions website or contact the admissions office to confirm these dates.
Also remember, financial aid applications have separate deadlines. The FAFSA and CSS Profile for Vanderbilt are usually due by February 1st, and tax documents should be submitted by February 15th in order to be considered for aid.
I hope this helps, and best of luck with your application!
