Did any of yall write a PS tailored to Vandy or a Why Vandy?

No. Generic PS. Resume.

[rupret1]

Generic ps for me. I did write (what I thought was) a pretty convincing and sincere LOCI which I sent about 2 weeks ago. For that reason I thought an acceptance was headed my way, not a wl. I didn't interview.

[krad]

Thanks! I was just curious...

[Pricer]

I'm going to submit a Why Vandy if I haven't heard a decision by the end of the week. If I get a WL before then, I will turn it into an LOCI. I hope I don't get straight rejected. I expect that from UVA, but not Vandy.

I don't exactly who you're asking, but I was accepted and did tailor the final paragraph to Vandy, fwiw. Good luck!

It was just a group question to get an idea of what people did, because I've heard that Vandy likes people that convey how much they like/want Vandy... Thanks congrats again!

No Why Vandy, generic PS, but interview.

Generic PS but interviewed and wrote Merit Scholars. Pretty good softs/PS. In 1/25

Thanks!! It's funny, but the more I learn about Vandy the higher on my list it goes. I really love Nashville, my sister goes there (and I love her), the small class size, great placement, applicable clinics...I could go on. It's pretty much my top 'realistic' choice right now.

[Stonewall]

Tailored PS. No interview. Still waiting...

I honestly think I would. I grew up in Austin and love the city but I hate hate hate Texas summer so much. I like seasons and cooler weather. It doesn't really make sense logically/financially, but debt isn't really a problem (my parents rule). Texas does dominate Texas, but I just don't know if I want to stay in Texas in the future.

Hahah, yeah...my sis is pretty legit. It's her birthday today too.

I submitted a LOCI since I've been complete with 11/8 with interview... I found a typo in my LOCI, a rogue 'and' that I had sworn I had already deleted. someone tell me they won't care!!

I had a typo in my resume (an extra 0 in 2010 for a job date, making it 20010) AND a word missing in my PS (I can't remember what but it was a "the" or "and" or something like that, but it was pretty noticeable) that went with my first 11 apps. I caught them both before my second wave of apps, but I doubt it's affected my cycle much (if at all).
