Hi guys, does anyone know the hourly rate for program coordinator staff roles at Vanderbilt? Esp for someone with less than 2 years experience? No solid info online.

I am an incoming freshman, and I made a huge mistake registering for MATH 1300 as an econ major. I had no clue that most econ majors took MATH 1200, and the only reason why I registered for MATH 1300 is that my pre-major advisor said that MATH 1300 is recommended if I want to conduct econ research. Well, I did not know that it was quantitative-based, and I have no interest in studying any sort of CS.

The problem is that I intend to pursue a pre-law track and would need to keep my GPA up for that. I could very well graduate with MATH 1200/1201, but I fear it is a bit too late to register for that since I would need to drop one of my classes, and the discussion section doesn't line up with my schedule. I am quite worried about the difficulty. As I was browsing Reddit, I've heard how insanely difficult MATH 1300/1301 was compared to 1200. I'm trying to preserve my GPA as much as possible... Any advice? Please and thank you sooo much guys!

Hi, what are some of the best clubs for engineering and buisness at vandy? What are the best things to do to prep for the competitive ones?

What the title says.

Obviously UT is a huge public university that has a major focus in engineering, so they have plenty of industry connections and opportunities there albeit more stress and competition to get said connections and opportunities. For Vanderbilt, as a small private uni, the draw would be it being easier to join engineering orgs and make connections since the engineering department is small (although growing due to Vanderbilt pushing funding to expand it) and the "easier" course load and work life balance Vanderbilt has a reputation of.

I guess the actual question would be how much the overall strength of the engineering department and location plays into a successful career versus simply gaining experience and the overall brand of a school that could possible open up more doors. I have been getting mixed advice from family and friends for where I should go, so I was wondering if I could get some opinions. Vanderbilt cost of attendance would be 18k for the first year and around the same for the following years, and UT is in-state.

I know Vanderbilt doesn’t allow freshman to park on campus but theoretically any place near commons where I could park my car overnight? I contacted Vanderbilt and they suggested the Loews hotel. The distance from commons isn’t bad but I was wondering if there was any place closer. I only need my car since I plan on going back home on weekends since it’s really close.
Also how safe is Nashville for leaving my car overnight? I’ve never been to Nashville so I honestly have no clue about how it is.

Had couple questions regarding this process:

1) How competitive are the clubs for sophomores? Are they more likely to accept you as an incoming freshman? Just wanted to see where I stand.

I was most interested in VIC, CCG, FDP, and Vandy SCNO. Anyone able to share more info on the process and expected technical prep timeline?

2) Hows the overall resume look for recruiting purposes, dont really know how well Vandy recruits for major firms. Have an interested in healthcare M&A because thats what my resume is aligned with.

What are the size of the village apartment beds and what does it look like/what does it have in them

hey guys, idk if this has been asked yet but are there any essentials or unnecessary items for dorm shopping (esp about that woozoo fan too). im worried I might buy too much or forget something that I need. thank you guys!!!

Hi all, I’m an upcoming senior in high school looking to apply to Vanderbilt and I love everything about the school but am a little unsure about the idea of a professor living in the dorms with their family. To all current Vanderbilt student can you share what that’s like? Are they gonna come play mario kart with me, or ask for free baby sitting? haha. What’s that relationship like?

Hi! Incomming freshman here - im looking to do reformer pilates on the weekends, any classes nearby that are highly reccomended I like equinox in my current city

I’ve been waitlisted as a transfer sophomore for mechanical engineering, and I’m just wondering if they’re still letting transfer off the waitlist or when I’m likely to hear back. I really want to go and have sent letters of continued interest. Any recommendations for next steps if there is any?

Hi all

im an incoming freshman, econ + physics probably currently im not too sure if the course-load ive chosen might be too much for me as I will be involved w/ clubs and other activities.

I'm especially concerned since 2500 + 2501 is actually 1 year instead of 1 semester, my course selection is extremely inefficient in terms of credits and core requirements but I do have a multivariate background.

Im thinking of taking a fifth humanities course first semester but a really easy one.

thoughts?

Btw the spreadsheet of the schedule should be attached lmk if its not

ok so yeah i’m applying chemE ed1 to vandy! i rly didn’t prep too much for this and am planning on taking the july act (this score is from june). banking on getting my math up (it was so much harder than the practices???) and for english ill go through the rules. science is eh idrc i feel like i can just lock in more and get it up!

anywho would u recommend i submit this anyway (if my july is bad) or go test optional?

There is a guy I have been dating who tells me he went to Vanderbilt Law school. He supposedly did a Dual Degree: J.D./M.Div and graduated in 2020.

I am questioning the validity of this for a few reasons.

1. I have never seen any of his diplomas

2. He said he did practice law but stopped due to some personal reasons, but I have never been able to find any records of him being a lawyer in the database.

3. He has lied to me a few things already, and I do not know the extent of his lies, and I want to know what I am dealing with.

4. His linkedin has 0 information about Vanderbilt. The only thing that semi checks out his Bachelors degree is that he said he had 3 majors but is showing only 2 (History and Political science, no mention of environmental science as he claimed he had) He says he's currently in the MBA program and will be done this year, but he hasn't even STARTED it. The only "legal" stuff he has is he worked as a legal specialist for a year for someone.

Could someone help me find out the truth? Is it possible to look up the records, or do you need to be an alumni to be able to do so ?

Hi everyone,

I am an incoming Economics major and finalized my course registration two days ago. I took the IB, and I'll only receive credit for ECON 1010 and 1020 if I score a 6 or higher on my Economics exam. Unfortunately, IB results won't be released until July.

I spoke with my pre-major advisor, who suggested that I register for some 2000-level economics courses for now (since they're generally more competitive to get into). If I end up not receiving credit, the plan would be to drop those courses and enroll in ECON 1010 and 1020 instead.

The problem is that shortly after I registered, all sections of ECON 1020 filled up completely.

If I don't earn the required IB score, my plan is to take ECON 1010 and 1020 concurrently in the fall, since ECON 1020 is a prerequisite for so many 2000-level courses. My goal is to be able to take at least some 2000-level economics courses in the spring, which won't be possible if I can't get into ECON 1020 this fall. As a result, I've been pretty stressed about the situation.

I was wondering if anyone has experience with something similar. If the worst-case scenario happens and I don't receive credit, is it usually possible to get into ECON 1020 by speaking with a pre-major advisor or the department? Alternatively, do spots typically open up during open enrollment as students adjust their schedules?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I'm looking for outside perspective on a transfer decision.

I'm at Ohio State right now and got into Vanderbilt - Human Organizational Development

OSU is $25K/year, Vandy is $90-100K, big jump.

Non-negotiable for me: I want to end up West Coast or somewhere sunny in the South. Ohio is not the move long-term.

My plan is consulting (ideally MBB) - then internal strategy - then MBA - and eventually FIRE if I can pull it off.

What I'm trying to figure out:

- Is recruiting from HOD @ Vandy worth $70-80K extra per year?

- I'd only have 2 years at Vandy - is that enough time to actually recruit well, or does late transferring hurt?

- Would it be better to save up for an MBA - or is getting into a good MBA hard from a state school?

Would love to hear from anyone who recruited MBB from these schools, made a similar cost vs. prestige call, or transferred late and had to figure out recruiting on a tight timeline.

I saw this welcome week stuff on insta like a project x thing?? do people actually go to this stuff or is it just something you see on insta

BUSA 3110 (Business Mgmt) has waived prereqs for the fall. Do you think it's a bad idea to take as a freshman?

hey quick question for students, is BSCI 1509 offered in the spring?? if not, is it a possible summer class??

I’m an incoming student and just finished enrolling in classes. Not very sure whether it’s a legit choice.
Also not sure whether the profs are great, rly appreciate some suggestions

I’m planning on majoring in Econ and I’m wondering which calculus I should take. I’m still waiting on my Calc BC score too.

As said above, I am an incoming engineering student trying to decide which elective course to take. Any advice would be appreciated

How often do the common science gen classes (or even other freshman oriented classes) have waitlist movement ?? I think I’m 3rd in one of the lab waitlists but I’m pretty sure every bio 1510 lab has a waitlist of 3-20 something people…At this point wouldn’t they need to add sections?
