Got my 5-pounder today! Good luck to others waiting on the status checker updates from last week.

Congrats to the admits!

It's a waitlist for me, as expected. Does anyone know what kind of movement Vandy tends to see? I'm very happy with my other options, but will probably still remain on the WL.

I am very similar. guess I'd rather be waitlisted than a straight no.

I'll report back if I get same result.

Vandy usually takes quite a few people off the waitlist. A good LOCI and you definitely have a shot.

Did you WL'ers get a status change, and were you notified through snail mail or email?

I got a status change to "Decision Mailed" but nothing beyond that. Found out the decision by snail mail.

My status checker changed to "Decision Mailed" and then two days later I got a letter through snail mail.

I am attending the March 13-14 ASW. I received an email about the weekend shortly after being admitted, and it has a link to more info about travel reimbursement. I sent an email to the address listed on that link, and the next day received a very detailed email about it. Obviously I haven't actually been reimbursed yet, but it seems like a pretty easy process.

So, today I walked through my building's front door and saw a beautiful FedEx box. I picked it up and glanced at the sender address... Sure enough - Vanderbilt Law School! I looked at the addressee and.... it was one my neighbors. WOMP WOMP.

Unfortunately, yes. It was too much for me to handle. So I ordered a pizza and made cookies instead of going to the gym. Ya know.

That is so depressing, I'm sorry. Do you talk to this neighbor much? Have you discussed your shared interest in law schools, or was this totally out of left field?

This is what I want to know. I'm assuming Vandy accepts a few hundred people a year, right? What are the odds that a couple of them would be neighbors?! Do you live in like a pre-law dorm or something? Lol

Last year (according to their Standard 509 Report), Vanderbilt accepted 1,122 applicants. That'd be pretty surprising to find out your neighbor was accepted to a school you were waiting to hear back from.

Haven't talked to her. Actually I don't know what she looks like. I live in a big apartment building next to a college campus. I am, however, not in college. Yeah, odds are slim. It was more funny than anything.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
