Vanderbilt did a series of interviews in late-February and then admitted thereafter, as far as I know. However, @JKO says their partner heard back recently, so they might be doing acceptances without interviews as well.

My wife had a Skype interview in mid-to-late February. They said they wanted to get to know the candidates better, but they also wanted to use it to decide who to bring in for in-person interviews.

However she didn't hear anything after that at all until the call on Friday.

Anyone heard from Vanderbilt on PhD acceptances?

On Friday afternoon (March 4th) my wife received a call from the head of her potential Area of Study to tell her she was accepted. The professor said they had just met that afternoon and made the final decision. However we don't know if that meant that just that Area of Study met, or if it the entire Department of Religion met or what.
