LSAT above 75th, GPA below 25th, "Complete" since 12/4 so nope

Not above, but I’m at the 75th for LSAT, and below the 25th for GPA.

I'm above the 75% for LSAT but below the 25% for GPA and I've been ghosted since December.

GPA 25<mine <median LSAT >75, ghosted since late October

I am extremely thrilled with this acceptance. Good luck to everyone!

Does anyone know when they'll start to send out scholarship information?

I think last year, they sent scholarship out March 1.

GPA 25<mine <median LSAT >75, ghosted since late October

I am at about 50% for GPA and above 75% for LSAT and I've been ghosted since late October. I am getting really frustrated because Vanderbilt is one of my top choices. I called last week to ask if they had any updates and whoever answered the phone was fairly rude (I must have been the 12th person that day to call or something).

Is there anyone else who submitted the main app + scholarship essays together, close to the Jan 10 deadline, whose heard back? Website said schollys would be out by end of Feb, and I assumed that would include admit decisions, too (if you submitted a scholly app). But only silence...

In the last newsletter for Admitted Students they said we'd be getting Financial Aid decisions late this week. On the Admitted Students FB page, they said that invitations to interview for the merit scholarships based on the essays would come out later in March as that is apparently a separate process from the financial aid award.

Checking in,

Feeling really ghosted here. Interview 11/21, app complete 1/3 (retook LSAT). LSAT 162 GPA 3.95. Vandy is basically my #1 choice and I wrote a really strong why Vandy essay as well. I have to put seat deposit down here in 3 weeks at another school if I don't here back beforehand.

WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO HAND OUT DECISIONS????

Anyone else out there still waiting...hopeless..?

My number's aren't as strong as yours and I didn't apply until 1/31 (essentially I have literally zero hope of acceptance) but I understand the stress of having to put a seat deposit down. I have a scholarship offer and seat deposit due on April 1st and I haven't heard back from any of the schools I was truly interested in. If you're confident in your application, maybe just put the deposit down just in case (I know it's not cheap, but it's best to be prepared in case things don't turn out well) and just eat it if you get accepted to Vandy? idk. Good luck!!

Went complete mid-January, with why Vandy and Law Merit Scholars essays. Still haven't heard anything, but I'm still inside the 12-week window they specify, so I'm not getting too crazed. 3 weeks is a lot of time and I imagine they will have your decision by then--they realize these deadlines are approaching.

Yeah I get what you mean. I've heard from every school I applied to except Vandy (my #1), Texas (my #2) and BU (kinda interested..maybe?). Right now I'm deciding between depositing at WashU or Emory - both with medium scholarships. I'm thinking deposit at WashU because the mathematics says its better than Emory, and to be honest the more I look into WashU the more I'm liking it. In the end I may be picking WashU over anything else..we'll see.

Dead silence from Vandy on my end. Anyone gotten decisions recently?

I haven't seen much movement on LSN. Also if your LSAT/GPA are near median expect a long wait. There are 165 scorers who have been complete since January with no updates yet.

I applied in November, still nothing, Vanderbilt is officially bush league

This is crazy. Already May and some of us are still waiting. I mean I already committed to a school and all, but danggggg Vandy, y'all stay playing games.

I'm still waiting too. I just want to know!

This is madness. I'm terrified to contact them, but at what point must that be okay....? The blank "decision status" on the online status portal is haunting me.

EXACTLY! Like can I call? I interviewed back in October. Went complete in January. LIKE WTFFFF

I went complete in Jan too. I sent an update on my file about what I was doing this semester in April and they responded and said thanks, we'll add that to your file...... So this is no mistake, which is why I'm just sitting tight, I guess.

Hey ya'll. Anybody else get accepted on Friday after the Wednesday feeler email?

I felt ghosted for forever, then got waitlisted. I got that feeler email and responded asap to the email.

Now I'm sending in my deposit next week!

Anyone care to share whats in the black box that they send? They said they are mailing it out to me Tuesday.

Thanks!
