I called the main phone number on the department's website and asked about my status because I have heard nothing since I applied in December. I was told they just finalized their incoming PhD class for next year, but have not yet sent out official rejections. That is, if you haven't been accepted into Vanderbilt, then you are rejected and will hear from them soon. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news to any other Vandy applicants, but you're probably like me and prefer knowing rather than not knowing.

Extremely unprofessional method of notifying students. They sent a mass e-mail with all rejected student e-mails visible to everyone (i.e., they were cc'd, not bcc'd). Looking forward to other opportunities in a more professional atmosphere!

Somewhat surprised, given my academic and professional experience. Nothing is inevitable, but I have gotten into six schools of equal prestige and regard. Got into my preferred school, though. No love lost!

Saw that only one person on here was accepted a week ago and took that as a bad sign. Other bad sign: my POI said he'd check on my status and never got back to me. It was a reach, but man, I really had my heart set on being in Nashville.
