Vanderbilt

[inwhatway]

Just saw the first Vanderbilt acceptance post on the Results Survey. Please tell us when you found out and any other relevant details. Oh, and congratulations!

I was not the first to post the acceptance to Vanderbilt. But I can say that I received a phone call in the late afternoon and that visit weekend is March 16th. The call itself was brief so I have no other details.

I was the first one to post. As Scrabble2 said, the call was brief, but they gave info on funding and the visit weekend. The DGS called, not any of my POIs.

Scrabble, did you not receive funding? The website says everyone does:

"All students admitted to the PhD program are offered funding, which includes an 12-month stipend ($21,250 in 2010-2011), a full tuition waiver, and student health insurance. Students must pay their own student activity fee (about $250 annually). If students make good progress in the program, funding typically continues for five years. Outstanding applicants may also be eligible for departmental, College of Arts and Science, or University fellowships that supplement the standard stipend. (The department nominates outstanding applicants for these awards; there is no separate application process.)"

I received their basic package, which you quoted, but not an additional fellowship. Still, their basic funding is great!

I applied to Vandy, and received no email, phone call, or anything. *sigh* Does it mean rejection?

[Scrabble2]

I wouldn't assume it means a rejection. Acceptances take longer to go out when they are via phone call instead of via email. I wouldn't be surprised if he called people Monday and possibly Tuesday as well. But that is pure speculation on my part.

Heard about my acceptance this week, but I haven't spoken a word until now about it! I can't wait to visit!

So are all people who got an offer notified already?

So are all people who got an offer notified already?

Since Vandy only accepts 4 to 8 students each fall, I think those of us who haven't been contacted weren't accepted. Though, I suppose anything is possible...:/

[giacomo]

i see a small wave of rejections on the results page. what should those of us who haven't received anything (acceptance, waitlist, rejection, OR the above "strange" email) expect?

just a rejection pending?

[giacomo]

Is there anyone else who's still not heard anything (acceptance, rejection, waitlist, etc.) from Vanderbilt?

Bah.
