My 4 year Army ROTC scholarship recipient has been wait listed at Vanderbilt. My DC has been told since last year when they first contacted the Vanderbilt ROTC recruiting officer that if they received the 4 year scholarship, that the ROTC officer could get them admitted to Vanderbilt. They also interviewed with Vanderbilt for their ROTC scholarship, and has been in close contact with the recruiting officer there all year, but applied to Vanderbilt Regular Decision (not ED I or EDII). We're waiting to hear now about the wait list status after May 1st decisions come back, and my DC has sent both the Lieutenant Commander as well as admissions representative letters of interest and also now indicated they will accept to enroll if admitted. Has anyone else had experience with the Vanderbilt ROTC office and whether they actually do have much pull in admissions for 4 year recipients who are committed to coming to Vanderbilt?
