Vanderbilt Limbo

I'm still in limbo with Vanderbilt, even though its the last day of March. I assume this means that they haven't confirmed all of their offers yet. I saw that someone solicited and didn't get a reply for three weeks, so I opted out of this. So I guess I'm looking for information, as I'm already making plans to move to my top M.A. pick, but am wondering what's up with Vanderbilt.

Now, I could drive down there and ask, but I would imagine that wouldn't fly over well. 

Anyone have a Ph.D. offer that they haven't accepted or declined? Has anyone been wait-listed (at all)? Anyone declined an offer? Anyone still in limbo or been rejected?

When I applied to Vanderbilt two years ago, I received the following message from them on April 11:

" You were preselected for possible admission but we did not contact you before because we did not think there could be a scenario in which we would have a fellowship for you. Although the situation has not changed completely, it is now possible that we may have a slot available for admission with fellowship."

So I'm guessing there's still hope.

I'm in the limbo as well. When I asked about my application near the end of February, they said that I'm neither admitted nor waitlisted and all these are contacted, yet I'm not out of the game either, and there is a little chance. I guess my situation is similar to Naruto's. But I already accepted an offer, can't wait any longer.

Just got my rejection.

Kinda happy about this. Vanderbilt was my bottom choice, and I'm really excited about Duquesne. 

Did you get an offer? I declined this morning. Fingers crossed. Everyone seemed so happy to be there.
