<p>KendaMom - agree! My son has now decided that a LACS up our way is the top choice. It’s a shame that Vandy couldn’t have been evaluated along with the other schools he was accepted. Their loss!</p>
<p>We haven’t been home to check the mail in NH.</p>
<p>@RW1212 where in MA are you?</p>
<p>@caroline - South of Boston</p>
<p>I’m north of Boston and another kid in my class got a wait list letter from them. I’ve gotten nothing. There doesn’t seem to be any system to these mailings whether it is vanderbilt or the postal service</p>
<p>Yeah, New England appears to have weird mail. I’m in Maine, and I know of one rejection letter to someone about a mile across town from me… I’ve heard nothing. Anyone else from Maine get news?</p>

<p>Received so-called Priority Mail in MA today (west of Boston). (2400|4.4W for those who care.)</p>
<p>Nice to have a positive decision after the wait, but really wish we could have received email on Monday. (Grumble, grumble.)</p>
<p>Waitlisted in St. Louis. Oh well. Already committed to USC so it’s not important.</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who was accepted!</p>
<p>My son was rejected in western NH - we figured given the wait. He’s ready to commit to Bates College so it’s not a big deal.</p>
<p>Waitlisted.</p>
<p>This is a really weird decisions page with no stats or template. If you want to see my stats, check around the Ivy results pages.</p>
<p>Will likely be attending UCBerkeley if I cannot get off the waitlists at Vanderbilt, Cornell, or Brown.</p>
<p>Can I be the only person in NJ who hasn’t received anything from Vandy yet??</p>
<p>Waitlisted 
Better than a denial.</p>
<p>Rejected in MA. :(</p>
<p>Kinda expected it after seeing the rates on Monday, but still a blow.</p>
<p>Still missing my letter :(</p>
<p>D accepted in WI. Don’t know when envelope came though, just back in town today.</p>
<p>DS wait listed…found out as we were driving through Nashville on our way to FL! My H was home and opened the letter. What irony! Major disappointment, but we’re moving on.</p>

<p>received my acceptance letter today(international student)
but did anyone receive hand-written card as well?!
I did…To be honest, I was shocked. Vandy was the only school that also gave me a hand-written card!</p>
<p>I came home from vacation and checked my mail. There was a lot of mail but, a big priority mail package stood out. I got really excited until it said Emory University. It was a congrats on getting accepted and welcome package (don’t get me wrong I love Emory and it was always my first choice). Anyway I went through the rest of my mail and found a small envelope from Vandy and knew instantly I’d been rejected. Ouchhh lol but it’s all good I guess.</p>
