I guess I didn't explicity say: The above link is the accepted students page! YAY! We can stop f*ing with our bretheren still waiting to be accepted.

Got lowballed as well I feel, very disappointed. Vanderbilt was my second choice after being waitlisted at my #1. 169, 3.5 stats. Should I try to negotiate despite the statement on the letter?
Edit--45k total, 15k a year.

Similar numbers, still waiting on my offer. How much they award you?

Sorry forgot to add it in my post! I was awarded 45k total, so 15k a year. I really like Vandy, but I can't justify that debt.

Vandy Submitted 1/8, Complete 1/9, Decision Mailed 3/6. Pretty sure I'm getting WL'd, reverse splitter

Well Decision Mailed today. Fedex delivery manager doesn't say anything yet, does it take awhile to show up?

Took me a few hours but I got an email from FedEx titled "FedEx Shipment Notification". I'd called FedEx almost as soon as I saw DLS and they had nothing for me at first.

Cool, I wasn't expecting Fedex to have anything yet I just saw the change now so I'm sure exactly what time it happened. So by tonight if I don't get anything from Fedex I'll just assume I'm WL or rejected though my numbers on LSN say I should be good.

eta: is there a general consensus as to whether they send acceptances at once, or WL/dings in a bunch? or is it a mixed batch they send out?

(asking cause my #s arent great but this guy^^^'s numbers are allegedly a lock)

+1, anyone know?

Save your anxiety/tears! I looked back through the thread and a sizable number of people didn't get updates from fedex until the next day. Tomorrow I'll start to panic/probably give fedex a call if I haven't heard anything.

^Quoted from some page in the 30s.
Don't stress just yet.

Got my scholly info, 75k. Seems low but I wasn't planning on attending anyway, just received a fee waiver and thought I might use it to negotiate with usc or ucla but usc and wustl have already given much better offers so I will be withdrawing soon. Not sure how one should read the explicit no negotiating stance they mention. It just seems inconceivable to me that a school like vandy would not try to poach some from the lower t14 or ucla/usc by being open to scholarship negotiation. If I were someone whose first choice was vandy, I would definitely still try to negotiate a low scholly offer.

Would any recent WLs mind sharing their stats? Thanks!

Just got the letter. $95,000 total, which was much better than I expected. I am very happy right now.
