Just did my skype interview. Does anyone know if I'll receive some sort of confirmation when Vandy receives the report from my interviewer?

The date on my status checker changed after my interviewer submitted his notes. I interviewed on a Sat and he said his part would be done Monday, and my SC updated that day - so unless that was just a coincidence, you'll at least see a date change. According to last year's thread, acceptances weren't sent out until the first week of November, and scholarships weren't offered until March.

Does everyone have a blank slot on the mailing list with no title but only the date "03/30/2015"?

I don't have that. Interesting. Maybe you're about to get good news

others have noticed weird things pop up on status checkers that other people didn't have, (usually boxes) and it indicated they were about to be accepted.

When did you apply?

I went complete 9/2 and interviewed soon after.

I also have empty fees and requirements sections? not sure if anyone else has those

They're blank for me as well. My current status date actually says 9/1, but the mailing section says application complete 9/15 - which was actually on Tuesday. I think I said Monday earlier, so it didn't update until the next day. So I suppose the email is sent as verification of them receiving your interview info.

Any view on having the interview on campus with admission officers?

You should get one. (I'm surprised they haven't already offered)

You might look through last year's thread. I think most of us ITT did alumni interviews.

I haven't completed an application, do you think this has something to do with it?

Possibly. I pm'd you.

I had an interview on campus with admissions officers! It was extremely relaxed, and I got a tour of the campus from the rep afterwards. Definitely no downside IMO.

Yay fee waiver. I really wouldn't mind spending 3 years in Nashville.

Nashville is my favorite city in the Southeast.

Same. I haven't been to every city in the Southeast, but I am pretty confident I could never find a finer one. Why can't Columbia be in Nash?

I live in Atlanta and some places are really great, but nothing like Nashville. There's not many big cities in the SE.

I agree with the Columbia statement (even though I still wouldn't be admitted). I'm staying away from NYC schools just because I know I would not feel comfortable at all. I'm a chill Midwest/Southeast guy.

Anyone else have trouble scheduling their in-person interview? My interviewer keeps pushing back the date. Its getting to be pretty frustrating.

Nope, but it's high on my shortlist.

As it should be! If you ever make it pm me and I'll give you a must do list.

So based on past two years, this Friday decisions will be sent by mail.
