Vanderbilt University Graduate School Admission Results

GPA is grad

Vanderbilt's interview was sent one after another.

Emailed that I was invited to attend an on-site visitation on 1/26/2023. It also stated that this was an official offer of admission. Stats: No GRE, 3.56 undergrad gpa, 3.34 graduate gpa, 2 publications, 3 years undergrad research, 2 years post-bacc research

Emailed to check portal

Email to check portal: "The Graduate School at Vanderbilt University receives applications from many outstanding candidates. Unfortunately, limited resources and competition among well-qualified applicants preclude our offering admission to all who seek it." Stats: 4.0 MS GPA, 2.9 undergrad GPA, 2 publications (1 first author), 2 publications in preparation (another first author), several poster presentations and talks at conferences (+ best talk award at an international conference), 1 year teaching experience, a few research awards, and assorted STEM outreach. Very disappointed by the rejection (IGP was my first choice), I thought I would at least have been competitive for an interview.

Rejection without interview.

Did interview 1/12 with a POI, received letter today

2 years of undergraduate research experience, no publications

Email 30 minutes meeting. Curious about how many interview invitations have been sent？ how many interview rounds? Only enroll 4-6 PhD finally, no high hopes.
