So did Vandy update their website? I can't find the status checker anymore.

I don't think so. It shows up halfway down this page for me: http://law.vanderbilt.edu/prospective-students/

I think it did because it's definitely different from when I checked earlier this morning.

I finally found it, but the website has definitely been updated. At least I feel like it has.

Got my package today. It's gonna be rough to study for finals while the giant Insiders Guide to Vandy is staring at me.

Yeah, it was a fun read! I enjoyed it and wish every school had one.

In via status checker/calling Fedex (if that's what a 6lb package means). Complete 11/10, interview 11/24. Good luck to all of you!

has anyone submitted the law scholars merit application? what sort of direction did you go with the questions?

Working on mine now. Hard to go in any direction other than simply answering the questions because it directs you to only give 1/2 page, double spaced responses. A couple of the questions that is fine, but it is proving difficult to feel like I have adequately answered and mot make it seem so blah.

Hey everyone,

I'm a 1L here at Vandy. I saw a bunch of Fedex boxes being shipped out today and wanted to drop by and say congrats to everyone that has been accepted so far and those that will be soon! Feel free to message me with any questions. Good luck to everyone with the rest of your cycle.

[alenamarie]

I'm starting to get concerned about my application to Vanderbilt. I applied 9/17, went complete 9/18 and visited the campus 11/13. My interview was 10/14 and went very well. I had to rush my campus visit a little because I was driving from Tuscaloosa to Nashville and back that day, but I sat in on a class, took a tour and overall felt like things went well. Now I'm seeing people with lower numbers indicating acceptances on LSN and my status checker still says "Application Complete." Think I should be worried? Did I inadvertently make a bad impression?

I wouldn't worry yet. They're still moving pretty slowly and seem to have their own way of doing things.

So if my status checker says 'viewbook mailed' in the mailings section does that mean im in?

Went to "Decision Mailed" on Monday and my package arrived today! The FedEx tracker didn't work for me.

[Jamdung]

Hi all! Congrats! Saw that FedEx package today. Thanks for heads up but I still hyperventilated for 17 minutes then looked at the label and had an anxiety attack when I saw Nashville. I am elated! Mi numero uno choice!

[tal18]

Decision mailed yesterday. Went complete almost a month ago. Interview two weeks ago.

[sheishkabob]

Decision mailed, complete Nov. 24...do they send rejections out this early?? Was not expecting anything so soon (long time lurker)

[Cpt Zapp Brannigan]

I haven't heard of any rejections yet. LSN also only shows accepted and pendings this cycle. Probably a very good sign!

[sheishkabob]

Thank you, I'll update with what happens

[su2020]

Received the fancy package yesterday...A lot of material to read through. Can you apply for the named scholarships after you've already submitted and been accepted, or did I need to do that when I initially applied?

[Winston1984]

Going through that acceptance package makes me really excited about Vanderbilt.

I think you can still apply. At least that is how Law Scholars scholarship app works...I know you can send it in later.

[Jamdung]

Anyone heard anything about scholarship offers yet?

Went complete 11/12 and status is Decision Mailed, but there don't seem to be any packages coming to me in the FedEx system. Bad sign?

It takes a while for the package to show up in the system. Historically (ie the last five years of LSN data), Vandy hasn't rejected/WL'ed anyone before January.
