no, its more like the people on sdn who got interviews all are in the top 5% of all applicants becuase of their gpa and mcat. im sure rejections are sent out, just no one has said it. Not to mention people are more likely to post success not failure😉. Also whoever said hopefully my 3.74 doesnt hurt me, you need help haha 😛

Yeah, I was about to mention the fact that no one will post a rejection this early. Maybe once the first person to post a rejection breaks the ice, we'll have floods of rejected Vandy hopefuls posting their woes here. They can't just send the good news now. If I get rejected, I will post and not be a baby. Plus SDNers are awesome statistically and will have a higher interview %age than overall applicant pool, like you said.
Are rejections sent via snail mail, too?
Man, that sucks if so...get all excited over a letter...
To anybody who got the invite - size of letter, etc, please?
Ahh I swear i wasnt like this until I came to SDN, where it seems like everyone and their mother has a 4.0!
Anyways, I live in one of the states that border TN so thats probably thats why I got it a little earlier. Good luck to everyone, Vandy is a very special place 😉

I got an interview. Yay! 
Everything is sent via snail mail. The invite is one piece of paper, so I doubt size will help much in figuring it out.

the rejection and interview letter are the same size and everything
Heard from my parents that I got an invite today! 🙂 (permanent address is different).
Anyway, I'm really excited for this coz I wrote an autobiography for UCSD (1277 words). Whew! Now the other two essays are pretty easy.
Stats: 99-99.9 percentiles for GPA and MCAT.

Yea, mine was 1270, but I have to cut stuff out because my autobiography also answers the other two essays. Actually, the diversity stuff is also talked about in my autobiography...and it's the product of the greatest challenge I've ever faced. Damn. I have to retool all of my essays to make sure I'm not repeating stuff.
You aren't gonna open it until the 21st?!?

Congrats!
We had a feeling you might. 😉
Oh trust me I'm curious, but its only four days. I've got plenty of stuff to distract me until then.
They just need to be in before your interview.
I think he meant until his 21st birthday.
I'm assuming the preferred address since that is the one you said you would 'prefer' to have your mail sent to...
Wooo congrats Vandy interviewees!!! Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions. Good luck with the autobio!
Apparently my invite came in Friday. Not a bad thing to come home from Australia to!
Yeah I won't be able to check my mail until the 7th. Hopefully there's some good news in it.
Looks like everyone who posted here has an invite. Can't wait until I get my mail! Hoping for some good news my way.
I'm hoping the mail reaches all parts of the country today. I'm ready to hear some good news from you people. 🙂

And we're all hoping to be able to give you some!
I was assuming that everyone posting here was human... was that a stupid assumption?
I meant that I already got my good news, and I'm excited for everyone else to get theirs too.
When I went to schedule my interview, I saw that you could schedule one as soon as next week 
...I'm not ready for that yet, haha.

Just got my mail this morning. Does anyone know what the difference between a morning interview and an afternoon one is? They both start at different times, and yet end at 3:45 PM. What do the afternoon ones have missing?

Wow.
Sigh.
Morning one has A LOT more down time. Nothing scheduled from lunch until 3. They both have the same things though. And congrats!

Yes, and I actually believe that I received the letter on Saturday with my mail... I just haven't been at my address to find it until today.

i want to schedule my interview during football season to get a SEC tour. this secondary/interview thing is tricky, I feel like since I got an interview guaranteed I'm less likely to complete the essays asap

Vanderbilt is the red-headed stepchild of SEC athletics. They're the only team in it to never win a conference title and they have the only stadium in the SEC that holds less than 65,000 people. Vanderbilt is a FANTASTIC school academically (by far the best in the SEC), but you definitely won't get the SEC football experience there.
Information according to my girlfriend's dad, who graduated from Vandy way back when 😛
