For those who applied to for a law scholars merit award, did they send you guys a confirmation email?

First! But in a depressing way. I got my rejection letter Saturday, and I'm the first red dot on LSN's Vanderbilt graph. Good luck to all.

I know we don't always see eye-to-eye, but this actually made me a little sad. Sorry, dude :(

Yes. It was very simple though.

It sucks, but I'll be fine. I've got 58 credit hours with a 2.38 GPA from 1999-2001. My grades from the rest of my degree since 2011 are at a 3.95. If I can perform like that in law school, hopefully I'll have a shot at a transfer to somewhere awesome. My rejection wasn't a surprise, just a disappointment. A 3.19 LSAC GPA kind of fucks you.

As a 2.X GPA, I totally feel you.

Similar situation. 1.96 academic probation in my first year at community college (in 2001), then dean's honor list for my degree. I'm expecting a lot of rejections because of that first year.

Oh man, this is terrible terrible news for me as a 3.2 (and for you too, I'm sorry for being self-centered).

Hiya everybody! Just found the forum today, was accepted 12/10 via black box shipped abroad to me.
165/3.87
Vandy is my top choice although comparing scholarship offers will have a bearing on my decision as well.
Good luck to those of you waiting!

I went to check the mail a few moments ago and saw a big, crumpled up, white package from Vandy. What a petty, insolent fool I was; to think that a heavy envelope from admissions meant acceptance.

You didn't need to first class me your school brochure Vandy.

I thought the exact same thing! Applied a month ago. Getting the view book today was nice but also a false cause of a heart attack.

To be fair, they do tell you on the app that they are sending it. Also, the acceptance comes FedEx in a black box.

I know both. I appriciate the view book! I actually think it's well done. It's just that it's been about a month since I applied so it caught me by suprise.

If I had to guess, I'd say box. Just wait and see, though. None of us have a clue what we're talking about.

Highly inclined to say box as well.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
