This site has been very beneficial over my college career and I am finally asking my first question about something that may seem trivial but has me quite nervous.
I have been working on applying to Vanderbilt's MSF program for a long time and recently submitted my application. I was thinking about it, and remembered that there was a section that asked for an interesting fact about myself in less than 25 words, which I put off and was going to come back to. However, I don't remember ever coming back to it and there is no way I am aware of to check if I ever did. I double and triple checked my application to make sure I didn't mess anything up but it is possible that after seeing it so many times I just missed this section. Will this hurt my chances? Is there a way I can contact the admissions office and ask without sounding foolish or careless? Is anyone else applying in this round that can confirm it was a mandatory section? Maybe they removed it from the application?
Thank you in advance.
I just checked and yes it's a part of the application. Doesn't seem like it was mandatory though, it doesn't pop up as a missing item on the review page. I saw it at first and just wrote a quick thing but honestly I forgot about it until I saw this. Unless you have a ridiculously cool fact, I don't think it'd be worth it to contact the admissions office. I don't think it's that big of a deal.
Okay that's what I was thinking. Thank you and good luck!
If anyone is in the program now and has any insight it would be much appreciated, just so I can sleep easier lol.
Shoot Maura an email and just explain things. They want good applicants and understand honest mistakes. Not the end of the world.
Hey! Also applyied to Vandy MSF in 2nd round and am interviewing Feb 15 weekend! Good luck and hope it turned out okay! I'm sure that's such a minor detail.
I will be there as well! Best of luck to you.
How did your interview go? I am applying to Round 3 and will be on campus at the end of March. Did you get an application decison shortly after your campus visit?
