It took a few hours after my status changed to Decision Mailed for it show up on FedEx. I think they go ahead and put Decision Mailed before the packages are picked up, and then after that it takes a little while to show up. I actually didn't get my tracking number until late that evening so I think it's better to check the actual Delivery Manager webpage.

Well, it's officially been more than 12 weeks since I went complete. No movement whatsoever. That can't be a good sign.

I was accepted after my app was in for a month (I heard back around Thanksgiving time - LSAT<50, GPA>75), and in the welcome packet they said scholarship decisions would go out by February, but I'm just curious if anyone has heard from them about scholarships yet? I'm not sure if it goes out in waves or all at once.

Decision mailed as of today

Do you receive an email notification from FedEx with your tracking number? Or if you don't receive one, does that mean you were a deny/WL?

My decision was mailed as of today, too. I haven't gotten a FedEx tracking number, but I did call FedEx and they confirmed a package from Vanderbilt is on its way. I'm taking this as good news, because it's my understanding that rejections and waitlists come via USPS.

(watch me get a box of rocks in the mail tomorrow, with a note in crayon, "u can't come.")

This made me laugh!

Well today's productivity has been reduced to zero, as I will be refreshing my email non-stop for the next 12 hours.

Call FedEx! It was the most fun I've had with my law school neurosis all year. The lady was so nice. And update us if you get that tracking number. . .

I'm in the same boat... Do you just call Fedex and say "this is my address- is Vanderbilt sending anything?" Seems so vague...

I mean, that's basically what you say. . ."Can you confirm if a package has been sent to me? I don't have the tracking number and can't reach the sender, sorry." They asked me for my address, my name. Then they told me there's one on file set to be delivered tomorrow and asked me to confirm who it would be from. I said Vanderbilt and they confirmed! I should have asked for the tracking number but was too excited, ha.

Said she couldn't find anything so I guess I got dinged! Super disappointed. Vandy was definitely one of my top choices. LSN gave me a 97% chance. Guess I got my hopes up..

Don't assume anything yet. When my status checker showed decision made, it took a few hours for it to show up on FedEx.

Don't panic! You don't even know the decision yet. I called Fedex... Nothing. Then I signed up for Fedex Delivery Manager and 15 min later they updated with package info and sent me an email. Sometimes it takes awhile for the packages to show up.

Delivery Manager worked.. nothing at first. Then I refreshed and saw a package from Nashville, TN. 6 LBs. Breathing very heavy right now.

Meanwhile, radio silence since mid November. I'm assuming I'm in the reject pile--does anyone know when dings will start coming out? (lol... sad)

They didn't outright deny you so that's something. They must be considering...don't assume anything until you get the decision letter.

Does the status checker go from application complete to under review then to decision mailed? or does it go directly from complete to mailed?

Pretty sure I went from complete to mailed. May be forgetting though.
