We generally expect one or more slots to be available in round two, when both those wait-listed in round one and applications received after the first deadline will be considered. The application deadline for round two is April 30. For purposes of the application to the Graduate School, do not list the Department as Human and Organizational Development or Peabody College. The Graduate School hopes to notify applicants of its decision around March 31, although this is a goal and not a rigid date. If your application is not completed by the above deadline, you risk not being considered for admission.
Applicants are responsible for making sure all materials are in by the deadline.
The Graduate School asks for two official copies of transcripts, one for their record and one for the department. Submit separate transcripts from each college you have attended, even if the credits are also listed as transfer credits on a later transcript. If a college you attended has changed its name, or if you have changed your name, note the change on your application so that your transcripts can be identified. You may also take the GRE Advanced Test in your undergraduate major, but it is not required. No student will be admitted, however, unless Vanderbilt is in receipt of official scores.
