Paciolan ALL-IN-1 updated early?

I'm a Vanderbilt football season tickets holder. The use Paciolans ALL-IN-1 ticketing option for their season tickets. Today, Vandy plays Alabama and I have a ticket for it. However, my Google Wallet has already updated my ticket to the October 19th game against Ball State despite the Bama game this afternoon. Will the ticket still work? Has anyone had this happen?

EES Major

Any current EES majors here? If so, I would like to know what your experience has been like in EES classes (difficultly, experience with professors, etc.) and how enjoyable the classes are. Also, would like to know how many hours of homework per week?

Will my grades prevent me from getting into Blair?

Im really concerned about my grades because although they’re not bad they’re just not up to par with the average at Vanderbilt. I’d say I have a good resume with many awards as well as many connections to the professor I want to study with there but what I’m concerned about is will my 3.685 gpa hold me back?

Is Carch necessary for OS

This question is mainly for the upperclassmen CS majors who took Digital Systems instead of Computer Architecture as their hardware class for their CS core (I think the only option now is Carch, but I believe a few years ago you had an option to take either). Is Carch (CS 2281) absolutely necessary to take to do well in CS 3281, or is Digital Systems (CS 2123) enough, as either satisfies the hardware pre-req for the course. For context, I am an ECE major with a CS minor who is interested in software dev and embedded software dev.

Best salons for hair cuts?

Broke college student looking for a decent hair salon for short, thick, straight hair. I've had bad experiences with places like Great clips so I'm trying to find a better salon without spending much more. I don't have a car either so ideally someplace accessible by bus. Thanks for any help!

Freshman needing some scheduling advice

Long story short, I came in as an engineering major, and realized that I ultimately chose it due to parental influence. I hate it, find it completely boring, and it is not something I will do well at. Instead, I wanna do law; sadly, the add/drop period passed a month ago and I’m now stuck taking gen chem (a class that I quite literally do not need to be taking and SUCK at).

I just got my first test back and did abysmal (think about the worst score you’ve gotten on an exam but 20 pts lower)- but considering that I’m taking 15 credit hrs (4 of them being gen chem + lab), I quite literally cannot withdraw. Kinda freaking out and need some rational advice, especially since I wanna have good grades for graduate school 😃

Is it possible for MS ECE students to be an RA and receive a tuition waiver + stipend?

The website says that rarely MS students are given an RA but doesn't specify whether they will receive the same benefits as PhD students.

Vanderbilt MSF Interview Questions

I've recently applied to the Vandy MSF program and was invited for an interview next Thursday. I was hoping if alumni of the program could speak to the types of questions they were asked (MBA candidates, please feel free to chime in as well). This would help in my preparation; any insight is appreciated.

Looking for 2 or 4 tickets to the Tennessee Vandy football game!

I'm buying as a gift for a Vandy fan - so unfortunately I'm totally uninformed about how to buy tickets except from the resale sites. Please let me know if there's a better place for this question!

Thanks!

Team Member for VandyHacks

Greetings Everyone,

I am an International Freshman at Fisk University. I am leaning towards Computer Science and Mathematics as a potential Major, and excited to participate in the VandyHacks.

However, until now, I have not been part of any team for the program. I know you can participate alone and don't need a group, but a group would be so much better, especially since I am very new to programming. I started learning Python and coding since few weeks ago, so I am far from being proficient at any level. However, with a strong background in physics, I love to leverage my problem-solving skills in computer science.

Therefore, if anyone is looking for teammates or wants to consider me in their team, I am ready to hop on your raft!

Thank you for your time!!

Catholics at Vandy?

Hi, I'm a HS junior looking at going to Vanderbilt. I'm Catholic, so I was wondering if there are any other Catholics on this subreddit who could tell me about how easy it is to get to mass, what spiritual guidance is available on campus, etc etc.

Questions about Nursing

Does Vandy exclusively look at superscores?

I'm conflicted whether to apply test-optional or not. In the common app, it's required to submit both highest subscores and highest single sitting composite. I have a 31 composite but my superscore is a 34. In a past reddit post, u/Ben-MA said that only superscore is looked at. That was two years ago, does this still apply? I don't want to risk being rejected/seen in a worse light, but I also don't want to "waste" my 34.

Community Research & Action PhD

Does anyone have experience in this program and would be willing to shed some light on how it functions, your experience in it, and how you balanced work and school. I have a B.S. in Psychology and a M.A. in Community Social Psychology. I am very interested in this program, but there is no program specific information session that I can find. I would love to connect with past or current students in the program! I would probably apply for Fall 2026.

Also, I did not have to have GRE scores to apply to my master's program, so any GRE advice would be appreciated, as well! I have a good GPA and I completed a master's thesis, but I am worried about bombing the GRE due to it being so long since I was tested in the way these standardized tests function.

Merit Scholarship (Chancellor's Scholarship)

Hi, I'm a current hs student planning to apply to Vanderbilt. I am also going to apply for the merit scholarship, and I have some questions to anyone who received them.

  1. What was your SAT/other standardized testing score if u submitted them?

  2. I believe the acceptance rate for merit scholarships is <1%, but is it that rare/competitive in real life?

I tried to do my own research, but these questions were difficult to find answers to. Also, if you can leave some tips for applying for the scholarships that would be amazing!
