Phone call today from the dean!!!!!!! 😀😀😀😀😀
But I never got that email, interviewed 9/30
But I never got that email, interviewed 9/30
Received email on Friday, but got the call from Dean Zic. Accepted!!!
Just got the acceptance call as well! There was no email, which I noticed many people wondering about. I am not sure if some get emails and others get calls and still others get both...but I only got a call.
If you're waiting post-interview and haven't heard anything, I will agree with previous posters who said that's good because it seems most people who get the acceptance call don't get an email. Just pure speculation here, however.
Also, I interviewed on 9/19 so I got the call at right about the 7-week mark, as predicted in the whole 6-8 wait time.
Good luck, everyone!
Interview coming up here...kind of worried about how I will do for the short (or long) "grilling" session! Any tips on handling these types of difficult questions? Are the questions mostly uniform or is it very interviewer dependent?
On the longer interview, does the interviewer have access only to the AMCAS? As in no secondary, LORs, etc.
Also, it seems that people have a lot of downtime in the morning. What do people usually do during this time?
Thanks!

No email, no waitlist letter, no acceptance call. 😕 That puts me in some kinda purgatory...
I hate this situation that we share. Vandy should learn from the Catholics and make purgatory not exist anymore 🙂
I thought Catholics still believe in it 😕
Congratulations to all that were accepted - welcome to Vanderbilt!!!
And for those who are still waiting to hear back, just keep patient! Regarding those emails, in my experience Vandy is pretty straightforward and I really do think admissions is just trying to keep y'all in the loop on your status.
Rejected post-interview. Upset about it, but all is not lost for me. Best of luck to everybody!
I didn't think that they rejected post-interview. Sorry to hear that.

How did they tell you, email or letter? Did you get the email last Friday?
Got the active review email on Friday, no call of acceptance, and no letter of waitlist/rejection. I wonder where that leaves me! I interviewed on September 23rd so the 8-week window is coming up!
I'm in the same situation; I interviewed on September 20th.

You guys got nothing on me. Interviewed 8/16 and got the active review, but nothing else
That's definitely nerve-racking. Have you called the office to ask what the deal is?
For everyone who has interviewed, good luck!
would y'all mind sharing some of the questions asked during the short interview session? I'm a bit nervous about the short rapid fire question session
Do they look down on you if you call? What exactly does one ask? "Hi, I'm so and so and I interviewed over 8 weeks ago and haven't gotten a decision, could you please tell me where I stand?"?
I'm actually not sure about that. I haven't called anywhere personally, but I know that applicants do it all the time. I read earlier in this thread that an applicant called Vandy in regards to her status and he/she was accepted a week later. Maybe it shows that you are very interested in the school?
Wow. I got the active review email so I just figured that was their way of telling me they couldn't decided in the normal time frame and I'd have to keep waiting. I hadn't called. Never actually called a school for anything like that. Seems like they would get a lot and it'd get annoying. After hearing this though, maybe I'll give them a call today or tomorrow. If I do, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

So... here is my optimistic explanation to our predicament....
Since we are outside of the time that a rejection letter would have taken to get to us, it must be that they are simply stuck in deciding how much money to give us in scholarships 🙂
...a guy can hope... 🙂

Students are definitely having class tomorrow! 🙂
WHOOAAAA. I'm never supposed to have class on my birthday. It's like, a national holiday and stuff. Though I will still consider Vandy if offered a spot, lol. I heart Vandy!
Really? I've always had class on Veterans Day.
And Happy Birthday!![]()

Interview tomorrow, eeek!
Good luck! I enjoyed the Vanderbilt interview day. The campus was impressive and the students seemed down to earth.
On another note, I see that this Sunday passed without acceptance calls. Does this mean that those who interviewed in August or mid-September like me will have to wait another few weeks to find out what Vandy wants to do with us? Ughhhh this waiting is torture!
I want to know my Vandyfate.
Vand so do I
The corniness hurt me as much as it hurt you...

I'm in Vandy limbo too.
