It's definitely possible that's true! I know other schools have explicitly stated they want it returned within a few weeks, and that it won't be considered (or will be considered much less seriously) if it's submitted outside that time frame. To my knowledge, Vanderbilt hasn't said anything concrete on the matter. However, I don't think it's an uncommon practice. While they may still review the application, I wouldn't be surprised if a multiple-month wait at least factored into their decision-making process when sending out IIs, particularly as we approach a later point in the process when they have fewer interview slots left to fill. Regarding your point about 6000 applications: while they receive over 6000 primaries, they send out under 2500 secondaries, so they're able to review them at least a little more closely.
prob not, i think they only do II's every other friday. but i'm not 100% sure
I wrote the email as an update letter and also attached it as a PDF in case that was easier for them. I got a very friendly response back 🙂
Same story here.
I had a mid-Oct II with early Dec date options.
Afternoon around 2-3PM
I lost my clock symbol lol
It means you're better than me. 😀
+1, I'm hoping that's not a sign that I'm out lol
I lost mine weeks ago, I think you're fine
Nah, I was complete in August, had the clock for like a week in September, and then it disappeared. I honestly would hope that if that meant anything, they would've gotten around to rejecting me already.
Haha I was kidding. I am very chill 😀
What is the green tab? Like AMCAS App and Secondary app are green for me, but not under review. I have the clock symbol next to it though, and I have for months.
Actually, I checked my portal and I've just been rejected today 🙁
Sorry to hear this. How can you tell?
It was post-secondary, but pre-interview (I'm OOS, LizzyM 74, complete mid-August).
