<p>So if another person in my high school has gotten accepted (lives like 15 minutes away) and I haven’t heard anything…does that mean I’m most likely getting rejected? :P</p>
<p>@College-
I am so sorry to hear that–you definitely deserve better! Do you have any safety schools? The three that you listed are insanely hard to get into.</p>

[li] Why you think you were waitlisted? I didn’t show ANY interest, whatsoever.[/li][/ul]</p>
<p>General Comments: Vandy is overpriced. I wouldn’t have gone anyway w/o scholarship. Enjoy my application fee, Commys, because that’s all your getting from me.</p>
<p>I still haven’t heard anything back. I live in south Florida and most of my other classmates have received their letters; 3 of us haven’t. Is this just the mail system? Or is Vandy trying to send a message (ie rejected)?</p>

<p>Hi everyone :), I am an international student from Honduras.
Is there a way to find out if I was rejected or accepted through email?</p>
<p>I think all international students received the admission result two weeks ago via email. In my case, since I got accepted I received it a little bit earlier. You should contact the Admission Office if necessary. Good luck!</p>
<p>hey guys, im applying as a transfer student, this morning i got an acceptance email and then a few hours later got an email saying it was a mistake ment for first year students, has anyone else had this problem</p>
