Just got an email that their meeting has been delayed because of the ice-storm. OMG PLEASE COME ON. I JUST WANT TO KNOW. My heart jumped. They literally titled the email "Admissions Status Update". Why couldn't they have titled it "Admissions Update Delay Due to Ice Storm" .... I just don't understand.

I saw that one MSTP student was accepted mid-February---have there been others? My portal still says that a decision hasn't been made, but I don't know if I'm just waiting for a mail rejection (ahhhhhh).

I think its safe to assume that a decision hasn't been made yet. The latest email says wait list status will come via portal, I don't see why rejections won't go that way either
 
Just missed a call from vanderbilt!!! Does anyone know if they'll call me back later in the day or should I try to reach out to the office of admissions??

Accepted with the Cornelius scholarship.

Holy mother of someone.

If anyone knows more about the Cornelius scholarship and can let me know, that'd be awesome 🙂
I got the same scholarship in Dec. Feel free to PM me if you need some more info.
 
Did anyone else hear about scholarships or know if there are any more to go out post-acceptance?

Does anyone know if they help out with flights and hotel at all for second look? A flight alone for me would be $450 :/
 
Does anybody know when they'll be sending out second look information? I thought it was supposed to be last week.

FYI, all: I got a call this afternoon (about 4pm) letting me know I was accepted and receiving a scholarship. Very thrilled. I interviewed in mid-December. Good luck to everyone!
 
Despite being accepted in December, I just got another congratulatory email from my interviewer. Such kind redundancy is appreciated.
 
Finally got the acceptance call after waiting all day yesterday and today with a knot in my stomach, jumping every time my phone made a noise. Ha ha.
