<p>@phoenix55555 congrats!!! </p>
<p>Congrats @Phoenix55555! That’s amazing! I’m waiting on my S to come home so we can check.</p>
<p>Let’s do some math to figure out the waitlist chances:</p>
<p>There are 1600 spots in the freshman class
In a typical year, 9% of the incoming class, or 144 students, is taken from the waitlist (Vanderbilt website)
If two thirds who are on the waitlist accept the admission offer, 216 students will be offered admission
Other schools waitlist about 600-1000 applicants and have about half accept the spot.
That means that 300-500 students will accept the spot and between 43.2% and 72% of us will be offered admission.</p>
<p>Maybe, I am a little optimistic, but it seems that there is a chance for waitlisted students.</p>
<p>@pheonix55555 congratulations! I got rejected at the 2 ivy leagues I applied to so hopefully I have the same good news when it finally shows up on my portal.</p>
<p>@phoenix55555 congrats!!! </p>
<p>Waitlisted Stats for Me:</p>
<p>4.46 W GPA
2310 SAT</p>
<p>mine still hasn’t shown up on my portal…</p>
<p>Why is it not showing up in everyone’s portal? I haven’t checked my son’s yet but it doesn’t make sense to me. The email did give an alternate internet link. @hydrojim have you tried it yet?</p>
<p>oops I did not realize</p>
<p>^^ i would take that down… i think it’s tailored to everyone specifically… it starts with a name that begins with “E” if that’s yours…</p>
<p>@neonpinklime</p>
<p>The private links are individualized to the applicant, so I would take that down unless you want us to check your son’s decision!</p>

<p>Is the decision to be on the waitlist binding? And if it might not be released until early may, what if you commit to another college by the May 1st deadline?</p>
<p>“Patrick, you have been offered a spot…”</p>
