My experience has been that once they start coming, it all happens quickly. I've gotten 6 decisions over the last few weeks. Hang in there.

That's too much excitement to ask for. I think I'd be afraid to check my email/phone/mail if that started happening. When did you apply?

Just got my package and holy smokies that thing is beautiful. I can't wait to actually sit down and go through it all. For everyone still waiting, it is well worth the wait. Get excited!

Read the guide first....the biggest book with the ring binding. That thing is golden. Every school should have one. They give you a list of doctors, parking info, restaurant info with pricing, BAR INFO (no, not bar exam, like where to drink, seriously?!) , apartment info, detailed description of various areas of the city w/ apartment costs and proximity from Vandy, list of specific apartments, reviews and costs, tips on how to survive as a 1L, a description of how the socratic method is used, whether competition is stiff, what your schedule will be like, what your weekends will be like (they are very honest), and MORE.

I love that thing!

feel as if theyre just trying really hard to try to take the whole "i dont know anything about nashville and have never been" out of the equation for applicants like me. if i get accepted itll definitely be in contention, but im still not sure about going to TN.

What's your hesitancy about TN? Just worried about job placement or the actual idea of being in Nashville?

Ugh me too.

But on the Law Scholars application it says that they let people know in February. I don't know if that's the same for all scholarships or not.

I have read on a couple of threads that Vandy doesn't negotiate scholarships. You get what you get. Anyone care to weigh in on this?

Tuition plus 9 month expenses (because apparently no one is going to stay all year?) is $74,000, and the average award is a measly $20,000.

Anybody have any idea when they start reviewing waitlisted applicants or is it done on a rolling basis? I'm planning on sending my LOCI soon.

Finally got it after ~~neurotically~~ eagerly checking the delivery status checker for several days. Got DLS Wednesday and the package in Asia today (Monday), so the wait wasn't too bad!

The black box really is beautiful...

Just me, but I'd probably wait a bit on the LOCI. So many people still haven't heard from Vandy, they're just starting to fill their class and get a feel for what it looks like. If you send it later in the cycle, I feel like it might mean more and show you're sticking out the wait with them.

Decision mailed today. Not sure how to check it using Fed Ex though. Anybody can help?

If it's the same as it was for me, you'll get scholarship info by snail mail 1-2 weeks after your acceptance package. Granted, I wasn't accepted until February, so results may vary (i.e., if you were accepted early on).

I was accepted 12/17 and still haven't heard anything about scholarships.

Decision mailed for me as well. You need to either call FedEx, or set up FedEx delivery manager. Either way, I'd give it until the end of the day before worrying because you don't see anything was sent to you via FedEx: at least, that's what I'm telling myself, since I don't see anything yet.

I'd wait too. I haven't even had a date change since complete back in November - and I'm not the only one.
