<p>There is no rhyme or reason for admits, rejects, waitlists to Vanderbilt. Applied to A&S college. I'm from Texas...maybe that has something to do with it. I don't know...someone offer me a clue cuz I'm clueless! It will be interesting to see who got in from my high school.</p>

<p>I think they're going by numberss.. which mean's i wont be in :(</p>

<p>Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted! For those who weren't, seriously remember that chances are you will end up somewhere fabulous in the end. And,when you look back, it won't matter where you did and didn't get into; it'll only matter where you ended up choosing. So, chins up! </p>

<p>Not sure which part of my application was weakest, but I was kind of hoping the whole Asian ethnicity thing would push me in or something (not a reason why I applied, but can't help but have that thought in the back of my head, ya know?) O well.. 5 more to go.</p>

<p>should early decision ppl add their stats? or are we just kind of adding the regular decision ppl here in addition?</p>

<p>maybe I was too liberal :(</p>

<p>too liberal? to borrow a phrase from dick cheney: if they rejected you because you are liberal, then i'm the american idol.</p>

<p>waleedk, if you take a good look at the posters on this thread, i think it's obvious that vanderbilt looks beyond just the numbers. you can have great numbers, but if the adcom doesn't think you'd be a good fit here, they'll be more prone to reject or waitlist you. similarly, if your stats are slightly below average but you seem to be an excellent fit, they may be more apt to admit you.</p>
