[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good luck! Vanderbilt accepted about 22% ED1 this year. Most likely situation is your kid doesn’t get into Vanderbilt so you worrying it’s not good enough is pretty presumptuous of you.

Of course its a great school. It’s been ranked in the top 20 universities in the US for 15+ years now.[/quote]

We just went through all this. The Early Decision acceptance rate was [b]15 percent this year.[/b] The Regular Decision acceptance rate was 3.7 percent.  [/quote]

That’s ED1 and ED2 combined…
At Vanderbilt, there is basically no bump for ED2. Ed 1 has a much higher acceptance  rate (the 22% listed earlier)….when blended with ED2, it brings it back down…..

Almost everyone from our private who applied ED2 to Vanderbilt, was deferred or waitlisted (I forget which).

I think ED2 at schools like Vanderbilt is specifically designed to pick up the top students who didn’t get into Stanford and Harvard and similar during the first round. It doesn’t seem to give an edge to anyone else.[/quote]

this is the strategy for every school that offers ED2 - pick up the rejects from the ED1 round at better schools..[/quote]

Who picks up the non-HYPSM rejects? Where do Vandy ED rejects ED2 to?[/quote]

Vandy rejects roll the dice in RD to 15+ schools. Very few ED2 at least from our circle.[/quote]
