Vanderbilt is admitting students with an interest in stellar astronomy this year. It was not a good match because of that reason. |

I'm a little surprised, since I've already been published in a research journal, I had 5 strong LOR's and I'm in a ton of extracurriculars/volunteer work. But it's okay. I'm actually not upset - I pretty much decided on another school before hearing back from Vandy. Congrats to anyone who got in! |

email to check portal. Bummed. My math GRE was probably not up to Vandy level. Maybe wise not to end up with Vandy's level of *debt*, tho! And looking on the bright side - I got into UWMadison (probably going there, LOVE that school), and Northwestern (too spendy). In general, feel pretty good. |
