If this pattern is holding true: http://www.top-law-schools.com/images/d ... erbilt.jpg, some of us might be getting good news in the mail soon

When was your application completed? Thanks

That does seem awfully fast, doesn't it? Hmm...

As I've gotten older I realize slow no's do not cushion the blow. If Vandy wants you, it's good they make the decision quickly.

BTW guys I can answer all questions you want about Vanderbilt. Let me know.

[leopardRAWR]

Just checked and I have a decision mailed date of 11/16! Hoping this is good news, I'm probably going to spaz anytime anyone comes to my door today lol

I also have a decision mailed date of 11/17. Hopefully there is some good news on the way. It might help me forget that about the T-14 (except georgetown) that are keeping me in the dark.

Went complete 10/15, just got a giant FedEx package today. The news was good

Numbers on LSN under the same name.

[oscodasa]

When did yall submit/go complete? Anyone relatively recently?

[rundoxierun]

well looks like nothing for me today.. weird since I live less than 4 hrs away from Nashville. Assuming tomorrow will be the day.

[CreativityKing]

In at Vandy via a big FedEx package today!

[Trustbuster]

Just got in. Ridiculously sized fedex package

[Spinozist21]

Vanderbilt does love its FedEx packages...when I got one several years ago for undergrad I thought it was full of money or something.

Did y'all apply for the Law Merit Scholars awards? I want to, but my answers to some of the questions are pretty terrible. Wondering if it's worth it.

Im applying if I dont hear from Harvard next week. It isnt due until Jan. 10th and they dont make any decisions regarding it until Feb. so you have plenty of time.

Arent you supposed to apply when you submit your application? Or can you submit later?

You have up till January I think. But yeah, it was with the main application too so that's when I did it.

They say something along the lines of them "strongly preferring" you submit the Scholars App along with your regular application, so I'm probably just going to do it all at once (if I decide to.)

I asked this question at my interview, and the lady told me to submit the application as early as possible. Then submit the Merit application by Jan 10.

[Snape]

Do you think it helps your regular application to submit this app? 3.8/168 so didnt think id be competitive and didnt apply??

I did. Your answers can't sound too terrible because it seems they just want to know more about you. The question about what would you do if law school wasn't an option looks like the only one that looked easy to screw up.


The one question made me lol when it asked about what extracurriculars i would be doing in X years. I don't plan on having a curriculum at all but I figured they meant besides working as a lawyer. I was pretty honest and said I plan on having a family so I will probably spend most of my time I'm not working at home with my children. Not as sexy as starting a nonprofit to simultaneously save baby seals and provide educational opportunities to rural African children but w/e

It can't hurt, unless you write something terrible.

[rundoxierun]

[dabbadon8]

Just got the package. Second acceptance today. Now come on Michigan...keep this train rolling.
