Here's a support thread for all those who didn't get the Vanderbilt secondary/interview...
unless I am the only one.
Edit: processed 6/22

Wiggy73 said:I'm sure Vandy is still sorting through all of those AMCASes. I'm well above their averages and haven't heard a word (processed 7-13). Besides, from DrThom's post it sounds like they're sending out rejections at the same time as invitations, so no news is... well, at least it's not bad news.
calstudent said:... but vandy specifically says that it is not all numbers--they read the statement, activities, and i have no idea how this will pan out.
ad infinitum said:I agree that they may say "it's not all about the numbers" but with average MCAT ~33 and GPA ~3.8, numbers are a pretty big deal.
What bothers me is that I have the MCAT, but not the grades. However, erasing the first 2 years, I do have the grades (inc. post-bac). If I get an interview, I will gladly report back that it is not just the numbers.

superdevil said:still nothing from vandy here, either.
vandy (sob) my unofficial top choice (sob, sob), show me some love...(open wailing and crying, complete with that "i would console him but he's got that goofy crying-snot coming out of his nose").
does anyone know when the next round of invites will be sent? is there a chance that blasted alphabet is playing a role in this (last name is a W...yea, i know that's desperate and pathetic, what's your point? )?
keep our little thread going!
yeah, i know, i wasn't really being serious. i'm not as worried about it as i pretend to be. i still think i'll get an interview (realistically, not out of insane delusions).Originally Posted by RunMimi
Sorry but I'm a 'W' also and I got my interview from Vandy. Don't give up hope though!
man, that's so weird. that's exactly how i feel! its like that episode of south park where cartman buys that theme park no one goes to, but then he won't let anyone in and it becomes the coolest place in town! damn!Originally Posted by Dr Turninkoff
The fact that I don't have a vandy secondary makes me want to go there even more. If they wait too much longer, I'll be sold.
well, of course people get in late. when was your AMCAS processed? i'd be pretty pissed if i was processed when i was (first week of july) and they waited 4 months (like your november date) to interview me.hey guys, chillax! I only got my Vandy interview request in mid October! I interviewed November, and was put on hold...after months of waiting I got in April and then ended up turning them down to stay in the sunshine of Cali. Just a quick note on Vandy. Whatever you guys think of Nashville, TN, it is probably all wrong. I went there, and had a blast with the MSI I stayed with. He took me out to some bars, introduced me to other MSI's. They even took me to class with them before my interview the next day and made sure I sat by them and gave me breakfast at the students lounge. Vanderbilt is a great great place, just have patience.
ok, this is EXACTLY what bothers me. i have lots o' research (w/ pubs, etc.) and my grades/MCAT are just fine. the way people on this board talk about vandy, it sounds like they're looking for my profile!PS. The interview isn't as important here as other schools. They really look for research and grades/mcat here. Research is important bc the new med class (2008) is required to do research there!
Would you like a little cheese with your WHINE....superdevil said:man, that's so weird. that's exactly how i feel! its like that episode of south park where cartman buys that theme park no one goes to, but then he won't let anyone in and it becomes the coolest place in town! damn!

now, i've failed an awful lot in my life, and it really doesn't bother me anymore as long as i know WHY i failed. when i can't figure out why something went the way it did, it bugs the piss out of me! if vandy emailed me and said "sorry, but we hate people from ohio," i'd be like, "oh, that's cool, see ya around." but no, i am confused.
PS: i know i'm crazy, please don't point it out.
EDIT: ok, i just re-read this post, and it sounds really whiny and irrational (hey, i went to be at 4:30 AM, cut me some slack). disregard!

i'm quite happy for you, yet, at the same time, crippled with a festering jealously that boils from a black pit deep within my dead soul.Originally Posted by dr45sdn
