Vanderbilt c/o 2018 applicants Forum

Please have some patience with the technologically challenged here. How do I check to see if there's a FedEx package en route? I signed up for an account. Don't quite know what to do from there.

You want to access the Delivery Manager. If there's a package en route, it'll (eventually) show up there, and you can click on it to see shipping details, including package weight.

If you can't find it, you can also call - they have pretty good round the clock phone service.

Just did all that and it turns out it's sitting on the delivery truck somewhere between the local facility and my house right now. Couldn't be happier to finally get this!

Nice, congrats!

Doesn't seem like it. I'm thinking it will be January before that happens.

Won't hear anything until after the first of the year.

First week of February is when scholarships usually go out iirc

Pretty sure you can't request after Dec. 1. Just submit your app and see if they ask you to interview.

So if I am in the "utter silence for months" crew, should I bother filling out the Law Scholars essays?

Wondering the same

I'm in the same boat. My last (only) update was in September, but if I eventually get in and didnt do the scholarship application, I would want to throw myself under a train, so essays it is.

If your interview is anything like mine was, it's chill as fuck. It's more of an opportunity to ask questions that you have than the other way around. The only two questions that you need to have an answer to are "why law" and "why vandy."

Yea man, my interviewer legit told me it's basically to make sure you're not a total weirdo and would fit in with the student body. Just have a lot of questions about law/ Vandy ready to go and really know why you want Vanderbilt specifically.

I'm assuming the scholarship committee will be looking at our LSMA applications alongside our applications for admission? And thus that it's okay for me to reference things on my resume?

What are the Law Scholars essays? Nevermind--I actually went and read my emails.

Hypothetically, if someone with a 170+ and 4.0 applied in Feb, are they not eligible for scholarships for Vandy because they didn't complete the essays?

Feb is late, but only a few scholarships each year are actually dependent on the Law Scholars essays. You could still get a different merit scholarship w/o the essays.

Yeah if you don't complete the essays you'll only be considered for a regular award. Someone with those numbers would get 110k in past cycles.

Also, keep in mind that only 3 or 4 people get law scholars in any given year.

Thanks for the help ! It doesn't sound too strenuous, which is good.
