OOS II this morning!! My first II I’m in shock😭😭

 

[Tricky23]

Anyone know if interview dates were open/are going to be opened up in November? Just got the II today, but I only see October 30 and 31 available and I already have a different interview scheduled for Oct 30.

 

[opabiniafan]

OOS II +1 complete 8/5 🙂

 

[Tricky23]

i emailed them recently and they got back to me really fast, I would try giving them a call if a couple days go by with no response

Do they have a phone number for their office? I couldn’t find one on their website

 

[jlpremed]

You are a GOAT, not an opabinia 🙂

 

[longsocks16]

Can anyone here who has interviewed share a bit about how their overall experience was?

A+++++ loved it. Didn't get any curveball questions or anything xrazy like that. A few situational questions but nothing too hard. Know your application in and out for the longer format interview and my interviewer's personally left lots of time for questions.

+1 II OOS, complete 8/1
is there is a tracker for total number of II sent out this year?

I put the link for the application tracker on the first post in this thread

 

[phenolring]

Does anyone know if this figure is including all acceptances from waitlists or is this the total number of pure A's?

This includes waitlist spots.

 

[pleasantpeanut4]

Has anyone received an R yet?

does vanderbilt look down on letters of interest/ updates?

 

[toastedbutter]

does vanderbilt look down on letters of interest/ updates?

Quite the opposite from my understanding

 

[ACKjp]

does vanderbilt look down on letters of interest/ updates?

There’s a podcast with the director of admissions and she says they definitely welcome LOIs

 

[labrat_neuro91]

To write before or after II

Congrats! I'm also a reapplicant (but first time applicant for Vandy) so this is giving me hope

Hoping for the best for you! I felt like your username seemed really familiar while I was scurrying amongst these school threads before, though for some reason I had an image of a mushroom picture in my head.

Has anyone tried contacting the admissions office this week? I emailed them last week and they had an automated reply saying they'll be gone till the 16th which seemed like an unusually long time

Same

 

[urwelcome517]

Same

were you able to receive a response from them? I followed up twice and they still haven't answered 😭 does anyone have a phone number?

Nope. I never received a response for my post interview thank you email and when I reached out with something else as well. I think it's just the two people running the entire office and it's interview season so I'm just hoping that they're not answering any super unimportant emails right now. Or maybe I'm taking a huge dose of copium

I never received a response for my post II ty email as well. Also just got the invitation for interview feedback although i interviewed a month ago.. weird.

 

[Sandman23]

If we haven't received a 2ndary, is there any point to contacting the office to ask if we've been screened out? Or do they send emails letting us know?

Anyone going to the in person tours? If so how are y'all dressing? All the way formal, smart casual, or something else?

Also has anyone heard from the admissions email lately? Haven't gotten a response to anything I've sent.

Do you live near Tennessee?

I’m going on one of the tours and I’m just going to dress casual. It says in the email that casual attire is completely fine and to not feel pressured to dress formally

Check out the 1st post of this thread, where you can see:
Vanderbilt says it sends about 2/3 of applicants a secondary

Are these tours for those who have interviewed or anyone?

 

[deleted1167581]

I believe it is only for those who interviewed

 

[sdfwr312]

They said the visit has no bearing on admissions, but if you do go... would it help?

 

[lbj019]

Nah, they said they’re not even giving name tags and all to avoid getting biased. Also, they know that not every applicant has the means to go, I’m sure they won’t hold that against anyone

 

[toastedbutter]

Yeah, I don't think going will help in terms of admissions. I do think that going AND then making a huge fool of yourself would definitely not help lol. Which is why I just wanted to make sure I didn't show up wearing something wrong and sticking out for negative reasons

 

[futuremedstudent078973]

while you’re there can you tell them to send an II my way?

[sdfwr312]

Then what's the point of visiting before getting an A? You might end up spending time/money traveling just end up with a WL or R. the visits make more sense for the texas TMDSAS system because you have to rank your schools before the match.

My friend told me about this waffle place in Nashville...don't tell vandy but that's the real reason I'm paying $97 for a frontier flight with an 11 hour layover to go there 🤩
