Vanderbilt 2020 Waitlist - Discussion

If she gets in VU, let me know and I will give you the low-down.

Thank you! Still not sure how I want this to play out. Saving so much money is quite appealing to me and my D can use it all for grad school (or a down pay,net on a house!). But I just want her to be happy so I am hoping above all she has that!

@greeny8 , my D is in a sorority. She is a sophomore and was so excited to get her “little”. She loves being in a sorority!

Didn’t the original waitlist letter mention they would possibly begin at the end of April? Wonder if there’s a chance of the first round happening tomorrow…

@MamaBear555 I dont recall seeing they would begin making offers the end of april, I assume they need to wait until May 1st for all of the deposits to be submitted and then they will figure out who/how many they need to round out the class. Next week is coming up!!!

I bet round one will go out next Wednesday!

@greeny8 it was in the original wait list letter… It says: “It is possible that we will be able to offer admission to wait list candidates in late April, though we usually do not admit from this group until early May.” Although if they haven’t come out yet, and it’s Friday evening, I guess they’ll only come out next week. Oh well.

@MamaBear555 thanks, I never saw the letter - I looked at the Vandy site to see if there were changes and there were. Next week can’t come soon enough. I just wish I had a concrete date of when they will start making offers, the unknown is killing me.

My son, graduating this year, got a call on May 3 (2012) from his Vanderbilt admissions counselor, telling him that he had a spot!

@LBowie congrats on your son and him graduating too! We hope to be a part of the Vandy family.

has anyone got a call from Vandy yet?

nope. From past years, it seems the earliest was the 3rd. Then the 5th. So I expect people to hear by the end of this week. They just got their deposits yesterday, so I am sure they are working on figuring out who they want to fill the class today and tomorrow. Good luck everyone!

After doing a little research (nothing else to do to pass the time) in 2015 they made an offer on Saturday may 2nd. In 2014 it was Saturday may 3rd. So it can feasibly be tomorrow or maybe they are waiting until Saturday.

@greeny8 my friend got an email from Vanderbilt on May 2nd at around 4:30. The first round is already out I believe.

@XAtlas congrats to your friend. I guess I’ll hope for the 2nd wave.

@XAtlas Did your friend receive a letter yesterday or are you speaking about last year?

@XAtlas Can you share details about your friend please? What school did he get accepted to? Any financial aid, major?

@MamaBear555 yea he receive an email yesterday and my cousin received one as well. @ataraxia97 my friend has a 2350 SAT and a 4.1 GPA ( he said hes like in the top 15% of his class). He got accepted into CAS with around 50k in grants. My cousin is around the same I think

@XAtlas Thanks! What major did they put down and what state are they from?

Where is your friend from? (which state?) Thanks!
