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.

TTPB: I wouldn't give up hope! It says on the website that they sometimes send acceptances in March without inviting the person to the Open House.

POI called me to tell me that their spot in Historical Studies went to Reformation this year. Since I study American Religious History, I didn't have much of a shot from the get go this year.
