meggied Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Has anyone heard from Vanderbilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishys Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 @meggied A professor from Vanderbilt called me yesterday to discuss my interest in a specific TA position. He said that no decisions have been made yet, but they should start sending out decisions possibly starting next week (no exact date though). I have a pretty strong connection to Vanderbilt because I did an REU there, so that might be why I was contacted early (though it's not a guarantee, the professor was just gauging my interest). I wouldn't get to worked up if you don't see any results posted in the next week or two because they might delay it further. meggied and Bhu_It 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just kept getting those emails saying they were still in the process of reviewing applications and that decisions would come out soon and thought it was strange that they hadn't come out yet.

shur42 Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Whoever got an admit from USC, have you interviewed with them? Invited to UCR Materials open house on March 10. No word on admittance/funding just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shur42 Posted March 8, 2017 Author Share Posted March 8, 2017 Any news? Anyone still waiting for a decision from schools? The only one I am waiting on is USC, their graduate admissions department misplaced my transcripts, so I am not even sure they've reviewed my application at all. @RanaYekani have you heard back from USC?

I Think I can Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Do grad schools do orientation/ admitted student events? Also if you're admitted and want to visit before accepting or to visit and haven't visited before, do they help out with the cost of travel a bit (gas, plane ticket etc)? Thanks!
