unclejoecannon Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Has anyone heard any news from Vanderbilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowshoes Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 I e-mailed the director earlier this week to update my file. He said he committee was meeting at the end of this week and that e-mails should go out next week. He also said that he will send a mass waitlist e-mail and one to those who won't be considered any further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APGradApplicant Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Mr. Speaker (I'm looking to study Congress in grad school so I get your username )- Vanderbilt is my undergraduate alma mater and I was a poli sci major there. Although I didn't apply, only because I think it's important to do graduate studies somewhere different than where one does his undergraduate studies, as I recall from talking to professors in past years, they usually didn't accept people until late February and didn't reject people until early March. For you and anyone else who gets in and is interested in American politics, feel free to PM me on here if you have any questions about particular faculty members/Nashville/the school/the department. It's an awesome place! Best of luck to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladedodaday Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Did you have much interaction with Bruce Oppenheimer? Or any of the other American Politics faculty? For another update: I recently talked with someone at the school and they said they expect to have a class of 6-7 students. The school got a record number of applications ("hundreds") and I think things are currently winding their way through the bureaucracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean they have made a decision or are still narrowing it down? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they're just overwhelmed by all us Commodore hopefuls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the results section it looks like notification next week would be more or less consistent with the past few years. Although it could very well be the case that they have made decisions and are just waiting to get final approval from the grad school, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclejoecannon Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Judging by the number of views this post has been receiving I assume that there are several other people who are waiting to hear? Just curious to know who else is waiting to hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowshoes Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I'm very tempted to e-mail the DGS and ask when decisions will be mailed (or e-mailed). I hate being pushy though. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclejoecannon Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 I can understand the temptation. I would imagine it is even greater for you since you had already had correspondence with him about when a decision would be released. Hopefully it will be soon.
