Got a Skype interview with Vandy. Does anyone have any insights on what they ask?

I am at a T3 in the 120's with a 3.62 and never got the interview request, so I am sure that is not a good sign.

My interview was on April 3rd and the interviewer made it seem like they had just started interviews. So maybe there is still a chance. She also alluded that most people get deferred. Still waiting to hear back.

Their transfer interview is very casual. They just want to make sure you can hold a conversation. It's not an "interview interview."

Just be able to talk and answer basic questions like: why vandy, tell me about your current school, why do you want to transfer, why did you want to go to law school, etc.

Any chance we hear before the close of business tomorrow? The seat deposit at GW is due at end of business 4/15, and I'd prefer not to pay multiple seat deposits if I can help it.

Stats are TTT between 100-110, 3.5+ GPA, top 15%, 1 CALI, with a Big Fed Summer Internship. Will likely get deferred but I am hopeful! I did not receive an interview request either, but I did submit a video statement expressing my interest I.e. why Vanderbilt. Good luck everyone!

My interview was on a Thursday and I heard back the following Friday last year

I have a very similar background as you and surprised we didn’t receive an interview. I wrote a letter of continuing interest but didn’t do the video.

Got deferred. Anyone else hear anything?

[JurisDude7]

Deferred as well. Starting to see a trend with Early Action applicants. I'm curious to see how deferment looks with almost all schools going P/F (including mine).

Any other updates from Vanderbilt for those who have applied?

Congrats!!!! That's awesome news. How much time did they give you to make a deposit if you don't mind me asking?

[lawstudent8089]

They gave me until early June

How long did it take everyone to get an email with a status checker after applying? I sent in my application a few days ago.

[AbbreviationsOpening]

Has anyone heard back from Vanderbilt? I applied regular decision.

[AbbreviationsOpening]

My application is now complete! I'm considering uploading the 2 minute video.
Has anyone heard back?

[zoeharts]

My application is complete but I haven't heard anything so far. As for the video, I uploaded one. I hope they don't find it cringe

[bateman20]

Any movement? Went complete on 6/15 and radio silence since then.
