The only thing keeping me sane right now is knowing that no one else got a call today.

I hope.

Don't ruin it for me.

You got my hopes/fears up man..I definitely thought you were announcing an acceptance.

Haha I feel better knowing that no one else got a call, too...

well, either no one got a call or they're too busy celebrating their fortune/our misfortune.
 
I hope that's not it. I would like serikk or shemarty to say they didn't get a call...those two are practically guaranteed an acceptance.
 
I called Judy earlier today and told her I interviewed in early Sept. She said I should expect a decision in 2-3 weeks. That can't be true, can it?

you got a call or are you just saying "yay Vandy!" ???

Just saying... In case the adcoms are reading these threads...
If I had gotten the call, There would be dancing monkeys on this post...
I really do not want to read my genetics paper...

haha ok. I figured if you got the acceptance, you would be a little more excited. 😛 I guess it's over for today.
 
My phone started buzzing and I thought, Oh my God it's Vandy...😱

Turns out it was just junk email...😡

Really?! Why is that?

well I was just thinking, if they aren't going to give you a decision this month it would be about a month from now, since they're only doing it once a month. I suppose it could be possible that they're giving their first acceptances around the beginning of November instead of this week.

Ohh I see what you're saying. I wish they made it more clear on our interview day!
 
Ok, this is my general whine/complaint about most adcoms.

WHY oh WHY can't they be more transparent? Obviously they have some kind of system, a number of files they go over at each meeting, a specific meeting date, a time when they're supposed to be done. So why can't they just share the information? Wouldn't it be in their best interest to have slightly less neurotic, less obsessively-calling applicants?

Example, UCSD. They not only told us when they're meeting, but at what meeting our own files will be discussed, at what time they'll be done, and the dean gave us his phone number so we can call him and get an answer right away instead of having to wait for his call or the mail.

Is that really so hard? Wouldn't it be better for the schools to have a transparent system? Must we really be this antsy and confused? Blah.


P.S.- DEAR Vandy AdCom. If you're reading this...I love you. Really. I don't care what you do. Please let me in.
 
I JUST GOT THE CALL!!!!!!! I can't barely type right now. Wow!!! I am ecstatic. Good luck to you all!!!!

Thanks! I interviewed third week of August on one of the first interview dates. They told us at the info session that we'd hear by the end of this week.
 
Hey!!! Omg thanks birdie (and amph, although we're talking on AIM right now)!!!!

Yes, the dean is calling right now. My phone actually didnt ring, I just got the voicemail, and apparently I'm getting the official thing in the mail soonish although I was no longer listening after he said he wanted to invite me to the Vandy class of 2013 so i have no idea what he said.


Anyways, I need to breathe. I stopped doing that for a while. Thanks so much for the faith guys!
 
I wonder what the interview cut-off date for decisions tonight was. Any ideas?
 
Do you guys think the phone calls stopped?

I interviewed on 9/18, and they told us to wait 6 weeks... which makes it around Halloween time... Hey that is not fair that you guys go before us...
 
I think the calls stopped...it's over 🙁

I wish serikk were here. He would know if our interview group got any decisions.
 
I interviewed on 9/19 and no ring yet....

I like how they waited after the debate to call people though, shows class.

Also, for those of you who got in, is there an update on your status page?

Congrats to all...great school...even has me considering writing a letter of intent if I get waitlisted.
 
Congrats to all!

Good stuff LET! I should have gotten on my A-game and interviewed earlier so I would KNOW SOMETHING!!!! Oh well, hopefully the month I took to write my essays will pay off. Vandy is certainly worth the wait.
 
I interviewed 8/25... and haven't gotten a call.

Congrats to you guys that got a call. I'm going to go to sleep since I have a 6 AM flight tomorrow morning.
