I wonder if the committee really isn't meeting until the end of February?

 

[teefero]

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.

 

[bluejay456]

Got the same email. I thought it was bad news since they only accept through phone call lol. not chill

 

[gogojojo]

Yeah that was a nice scare. lol one more week!

 

[crossingthefingers]

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

 

[goneuro]

Hopefully this is the week and we can all move on with our lives!

 

[WeCanOnlyTry]

This week is the week! Just got offered admission!!!! Interviewed 1/16

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??

 

[clowiebear]

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.

 

[Copernicium]

[turayza]

I missed a call as well, tried to call the callback number left on voicemail but hit her voicemail twice instead. I'm reluctant to play phone tag... Haha

[gfricke]

Also curious about this. Also, I was ver excited to be accepted today.

 

[clowiebear]

[soccerusa]

[goneuro]

Does anyone know if they help out with flights and hotel at all for second look? A flight alone for me would be $450 :/

 

[jaga1603]

I believe they take care of the hotel.

 

[acquiescing]

Does anybody know when they'll be sending out second look information? I thought it was supposed to be last week.

 

[dudewheresmymd]

I believe they take care of the hotel.

wait seriously?

 

[jaga1603]

wait seriously?

That was my understanding from talking to current students on my interview day. Of course, things can always change and the official email hasn't been sent out yet...

 

[ProbablyAPenguin]

It was... I emailed and asked...

 

[crossingthefingers]

waitlisted but keeping the faith with y'all.

 

[teefero]

How do you know!

 

[mcdreamy123456789]

It was... I emailed and asked...

wait they already sent out second look stuff?

 

[amikarlkarliam]

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!

 

[CTU Surgeon]

Despite being accepted in December, I just got another congratulatory email from my interviewer. Such kind redundancy is appreciated.

 

[jared_the_great]

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.

 

[bluejay456]

waitlisted but keeping the faith with y'all.
