Checking in! Applied 2/18 (last night). They're mailing me a viewbook, which is nice of them.

Waitlisted, and I asked to be removed. I've got great offers at other schools. Good luck to all still waiting!

I AM SO IMPATIENT.
Is there any reason to believe they might be waiting to do a wave of acceptances when they can also release scholarship info at the same time?

Has anyone that has been complete for over 12 weeks emailed the admissions office? If so, what was the response?

Re: Vanderbilt Law c/o 2017 applicants (2013-2014 cycle)
I called. They seemed super cavalier about having put "can take up to 10-12 weeks" on the status checker. It seems like "up to 10-12 weeks" is a very vague guideline... but it's not unusual at all to blow right past that timeline and still not have heard back. They told me they wouldn't be getting to my app for another "couple of weeks" and I applied in mid-November...BentleyLittle wrote:Has anyone that has been complete for over 12 weeks emailed the admissions office?

My roommate texted me and was like, "You've got a package from Vanderbilt" and I had forgotten about the viewbook, so I got excited for about ten seconds before remembering.

My roommate got a slightly larger than document-sized, ~5lbs FedEx package this week. I was seriously pissed when I read his name on it. (He's not an applicant).Sakari wrote:My roommate texted me and was like, "You've got a package from Vanderbilt" and I had forgotten about the viewbook, so I got excited for about ten seconds before remembering.

Waitlisted. Below both 25%. To be honest I was expecting a ding and this was just a hail mary. Good luck to those still waiting!

Re: Vanderbilt Law c/o 2017 applicants (2013-2014 cycle)
anyone know how strong the connection between getting a merit based fee waiver and acceptance is? i got a fee waiver and my lsat score is at the 50th percentile but my gpa is somewhere between the 25th and 50th percentile so I feel like i'm right at the cusp of getting admitted but possible also rejected....wondering if my fee waiver was any indication of anything at all?

Consensus seems to be, no. They may want you, or they may want you to apply so they can reject you. Only time will tell. Good luck!

For what it's worth, I got an unsolicited merit based fee waiver with 25th LSAT, 75th GPA, and non-URM. So I don't know of a correlation, but I got in when I thought it was a selectivity tactic in my situation.BLUERUFiO wrote:Consensus seems to be, no.

Also, anyone else have the 2/25 mailing on status checker? I'm betting scholarships!

Can you withdraw if you haven't even heard a decision yet? If so, anyone know how? (I don't want them wasting any time on my app when they should be working on all of your's and getting you all some damn decisions!)

I'm sure you can just email the general admissions email and that should do it.leigh912198972 wrote:Can you withdraw if you haven't even heard a decision yet? If so, anyone know how?

You can. Just email admissions and tell them you want to withdraw. I wouldn't, though, especially if you paid an application fee and have any interest whatsoever in attending.leigh912198972 wrote:Can you withdraw if you haven't even heard a decision yet?

Nearing 21 weeks at complete.
Sent a LOCI, because this is basically a waitlist. At least they confirmed that they've added it to my file, so my applications isn't lost and they know I'm alive.
