Vanderbilt ED2 Acceptance Rate

Does anyone know approximately what the acceptance rate is for Vanderbilt ED2? I know ED2 tends to be more selective.

While specific acceptance rates for Vanderbilt's ED2 option are not publicly released, the overall Early Decision (including ED1 and ED2) acceptance rate is usually higher than the regular decision acceptance rate. Vanderbilt's overall Early Decision acceptance rate has historically been around 15%, compared to their Regular Decision acceptance rate which is typically under 10%.

However, it's important to keep in mind that the applicant pool in Early Decision rounds tend to be self-selective, often comprised of high-achieving students who have Vanderbilt as their first-choice school. So while the acceptance rate might be higher, the competition is also intense.

Finally, applying ED2 won't give you as much of a boost as ED1 could because more seats are filled in ED1, but it still indicates a strong interest in the university which can be beneficial. Always remember to balance your desire to attend Vanderbilt with your financial need and readiness to commit, as Early Decision is binding.
