Complete since a few days before 11/4 and nothing still. Little bit lower LSAT, little bit higher GPA fwiw. Definitely feeling nervous/ not too good about my chances. So many acceptance waves have passed me by.

Anyone going to the March ASW? Can't seem to find any Vandy ASW threads - anyone had more luck?

Has anyone with the 2-week turnaround receive a rejection/waitlist? really nervous because Vandy is my top choice and Fedex Delivery Manager doesn't show anything and when I called they couldn't find anything either... I guess I'll have to stick it out till the Envelope of Tears or Box of Happiness arrive...

In the acceptance package there was the envelope with your acceptance letter. On one of the other papers included in that envelope it states "scholarship awards normally commence in February"

So just to confirm, if I'm getting a package from Vanderbilt through Fedex it means that I'm in for sure, right? Don't want to get too ahead of myself...

Everyone does. It's rather misleading.

That does seem pretty early. Good to know.

Also, FedEx email came in about 20 min. ago. :) Can't wait to see that box!

Sorry that sucks :(

You could write a LOCI and show interest to try and get off the waitlist and see how it goes.

Another option is to apply again next year, in the meantime you might be able to pick up a couple more LSAT points (might mean acceptance + money) and hopefully get a friendly alumni.

That's stunning and I'm very sorry. The good news is that your scores put you in competition for schools that are objectively better than Vanderbilt. Have you applied to Duke, UVA, and the rest of the lower T14?

I'm starting to get nervous LSN says that people with my stats get in 100%. I've been complete since December 1st and did my interview in December 10th... Vandy is really starting to stress me out.
