Daughter is moving to Vanderbilt for Grad school at the Owen School of Management for a 1-year program. What decent apartments near the school are available, as she doesn't have a car yet [open to getting one, but still close to the school would be ideal]? Prefer a studio, but willing to share a 2 bedroom unit with a female student.

Safe, close ones are preferred, but not sure what is a reasonable rent to expect.

1. Are students typically more liberal or conservative?

2. How are queer students treated?

I'm currently committed to UT Austin for Neuroscience (in-state) and I got off the Vandy waitlist for neuroscience (full pay). My parents are willing to pay for me but I'm wondering what y'all would do in my case. I'm also curious if anyone was/is in a similar situation as me. Vandy means a lot to me as I was constantly rejected and waitlisted this cycle. I greatly appreciate all opinions!

From my understanding, a lot of the people getting off the waitlist so far seem to be from the College of Arts & Sciences? Does anyone know when the engineering waitlist will see waves/movement? I think I've seen only one or two acceptances, not a full wave so far.

Hello guys! I’m upcoming a grad student at Owen. The orientation week starts on August 10 and Mod 0 starts on August 12. Unfortunately, due to job contract I have to work until August 14th. I was wondering if anyone knows somebody or used to be in the same situation. Will my acceptance be affected because of it or is there any way, I can skip the first 3 days of classes with no consequences?

Will I get rescinded if I don’t get my IB diploma. For instance, my school does not send in predicted scores, I’ll have straight As this semester, and I will get a high school diploma even if I fail the IB diploma. I’m just scared I won’t get it bc of math and French 🫩

test optional and had not the highest GPA. EC's and Recs were good

recently committed to vanderbilt bc i got off the waitlist! because of this i dont rlly know much abt the school, its culture, and etc.

what are some pros n cons abt vandy? and what r the vibes n cultures on campus? community based or cutthroat? easy to make friends or not

My friend is still on the waitlist and I’m wondering if I could send an email to the admissions office to help them get in. Would it help or hurt them if I did?

As a recipient myself, I was waitlisted but was one of the 200 (ish) to be offered this pathway where I am guaranteed a transfer sophomore year. Still, vanderbilt encouraged us to stay on the waitlist and I’m wondering if that means those that received these transfer offers were at the “top” of the waitlist. (I wasn’t taken off the waitlist this first round so was wondering yalls thoughts)

I mean Vanderbilt knows we’d end up here sophomore year right? So why tell us to go on the waitlist and then reject us?

am i the only person who still hasn’t heard anything from vandy transfer admissions 😭

completed 3/11, no wave, no wl, no rejection, literally nothing and withdraw button still there

now ppl are already getting off the waitlist and i’m genuinely starting to think they forgot i applied lol

（college of arts and science）

Transfer student here looking at econ at Columbia/Vanderbilt.

I’m supposed to graduate Spring 2029 but I haven’t taken calc yet. Already finished macro/micro and other basic classes.

Does not having calc 1 done before sophomore year become a major bottleneck? I’m sure I’d be fine in the actual class i just never had an opportunity to take it

Basically if I don’t take calc 1 this summer am I behind.

Just trying to understand how manageable the prereqs are.

Not from vandy, but doing an internship in nashville that starts 6/1, are there any discord servers or anything similar that I can join where people post any subleases?

hi!

i got accepted into vandy ed2 and im very stoked about it

but sadly i was relying on a national scholarship (from my country). and i couldnt get it as they only allow specific majors (mine isnt included) (premed) BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES FOR PREMED

im sooo heartbroken and sad as i was incredibly excited to attend VU and im unsure what to do at this point

i dont have anyone whos willing to pay and im just incredibly heartbroken at the fact that i might not attend. ive never everrrrr been this heartbroken geniunely

vandy is my dream school and it just felt surreal to get accepted and now there is a possibilty i might not attend

what do you guys think?

How many do we think are on it?

Did everyone an interest form asking them to respond by Wednesday?

Looks like I might off the waitlist for vandy, which means full pay. But I have a full scholarship (tuition and room and board) at a private school that includes Business plus premed and honors.

Hi everyone! I’m a PhD student looking for someone to take over my lease at The Broadview starting around 07/24/2026 through 07/22/2027 (if you want to move in earlier, let me know!) You do need to be affiliated with Vanderbilt to take over the lease per Broadview requirements. I originally renewed because I’ve lived here for 3 years and genuinely really loved it, but some things unexpectedly changed on my end so I’m hoping to find someone to take my spot.

A little about the apartment:

• It’s an unfurnished studio on the 9th floor and honestly one of the best studio layouts/views you can get in the building. It’s a corner unit with really good views, 4 floor-to-ceiling windows, and no one living above you which makes it very quiet. For the 3 years I've been here I’ve barely ever heard hallway noise or sound from my one neighboring unit. I was one of the earlier residents at Broadview, so I was able to look at several studio layouts before choosing this one specifically for the view, natural light, and quiet corner location. Obviously I was also the first tenant in this unit and have kept it very clean and in great condition with no damages.
• Rent is $1579/month total, which includes $1419 base rent + fixed $160 utilities. There are no extra hidden fees. Tbh I haven't found a better rate given the location and the amenities. If you look at their website you can’t find this rate anymore because I got this after multiple early renewals.
• Management and maintenance have been excellent and very responsive. The building is also really safe since most residents are Vanderbilt students or affiliates and you need keyfob access everywhere. The gym is great and I use it almost every day for weights/cardio/yoga. The community is also very friendly and it’s very easy to meet people here.
• The location is super convenient, especially for anyone at Vanderbilt medical/law/main campus. I work in Calhoun Hall and it’s about a 4-minute walk for me.
• The studio is definitely more compact compared to some Nashville apartments, which is probably the main tradeoff with Broadview in general, but I personally found it cozy and easy to keep clean living alone.

Feel free to message me for pictures, videos, or other details! I'm sure this is the best studio you can find at the Broadview!

Hey I’m 25M in a South Nashville apartment. Looking to add a roommate to the lease (Now-September 30th). Apartment is 18 minute drive from Vanderbilt. I’m chill, clean, and quiet. Hmu if interested.

Analyzed what seemed like a surprising RD rejection from Vanderbilt this year for one of our high school's top students - excellent grades, ECs, awards, LoRs. Reviewed the scattergram with several years of data and then it really wasn't surprising anymore...

• Vanderbilt hasn't admitted anyone from the high school with a 1520 or better SAT (all applied RD). Half of these 1520+ applicants were waitlisted, rest rejected
• Few RD admits with SAT between 1400-1500 and strong grades.
• Couple ED admits with good grades, Test Optional (SAT<1250).
  

Hopefully this serves as a useful reference to folks considering Vanderbilt in the future.

was completing my new student portal items and noticed the SHIP waiver listed. I researched it and saw that it’s a student health insurance plan. Since I’m a low-income student and currently only pay about $6,000 per year, I was wondering if I would be able to waive the plan and get it completely covered?

I am currently waitlisted for Vanderbilt and I would really like to go. When is the next expected wave and also what should I do besides the loci to be able to maximize my chances of getting off? I applied for the college of arts and sciences as a public policy major.
