<p>Hi Everyone
I actually just made a profile about 5 minutes in order to tell you all that someone else did get their letter from Vandy today. I live in Knoxville, TN and I got ACCEPTED. Regular Decision.</p>

<p>Here's my stats to give you an idea:

<p>Vandy is my first choice, so I'm so excited. Also, I got a lot more aid then I thought I would. </p>

<p>Congrats!!!!</p>

43

<p>YAY those acceptances are great news! Congrats!
I also think my stats are similar to both of yours... so I hope I see you all on campus next year!</p>

44

<p>will only accepted students hear by monday?</p>

45

<p>^^ Not sure... I don't know if it has been specifically stated, but it doesn't seem practical to send 16000 letters priority...</p>

46

<p>Dartmouth's RD accept rate was 12% last year, will be about 10% this year. Overall Dartmouth acceptance will be 13% this year.</p>

47

<p>WashU sent all their acceptance letters priority so I wouldn't be surprised if Vandy does the same. I bet they get some kind of bulk deal with the postal service. Let's hope so : )</p>

48

<p>WashU sent acceptances letters via UPS not USPS</p>

49

<p>i believe you can get a priority option with a lot of different mailing places. i wouldn't be surprised if any of them went in on deals with colleges. but we'll all find out soon enough anyway. plus, im assuming they only rushed the acceptance letters and not the rejections so i doubt there would be more than 5000 depending on their expected yield.</p>
