<p>Hmm, so BB codes don’t work in titles…</p>

23

<p>alrightbro: congratulations on acceptance. we have very similar stats, so i have my fingers crossed for my own acceptance at the end of this month!</p>

24

<p>How do you hear if you are accepted/rejected? Is it by E-mail, regular mail or online? I haven’t been able to find any information online and I am assuming its not online because they don’s give us a username and password to check our application status like other schools. Also, I know it says april 1st online but historically when has it been?</p>

25

<p>We find out through a letter in the mail. Last year’s letters were mailed March 23.</p>

26

<p>Does Vandy post seething as to when decisions will be mailed. My son and I will be out of town during the last week of March, and my wife and two other sons are also going to be OOT. I assume that they do not release results over the phone.</p>

27

<p>@psychodad they will release over phone about a week after decisions are mailed. this makes it so only ppl who didnt get it in the mail will call</p>

28

<p>jthockey- thanks. Any guesses from anyone as to when the letters may come out?</p>

37

<p>How do international students find out about their decisions ? Is it by email ?</p>

<p>@majd122: International students will first receive an email with their decision, and then, depending if they were accepted or not, a large package with admission stuff inside or a rejection letter.</p>
