Just received the email. Last name starts with a B and I’m from Arizona. I got it at exactly 6pm AZ time. Doesn’t seem that region or last name mattered in my case

Just got the email at 5:59 PST. Last name T from Arizona.

To think of being this insane in a year is a bit terrifying, good luck to everyone tomorrow X_X

Finally got it from Texas. Now hoping for the best!

Got mine in California at 6:08 PM.

Finally came in Texas at 7:47…just wasn’t looking

I know this is annoying… and late… but would y’all maybe chance me?
I’m a white girl from VA.
1430 SAT (720 math, 710 cr)
4.3 W GPA, 3.78 UW GPA
AP’s: World History, Calculus AB, US history, Physics 1, Government, Statistics, Literature, Spanish Language
DE’s: Criminal Law, Environmental Science
Never taken a non-honors class in high school (not even electives)

Extra curriculares: Co-founder of SPCA club, 3 year National Spanish Honors Society, member of Model United Nations, founder of Spikeball Club, Varsity wrestling team manager, 4 years of varsity volleyball, 3 years as captain, 4 years of club volleyball, 2 years as captain, lifeguard for 2 years year-round

Essay: Mother is a semi abusive alcoholic, I’ve got a HUGE blended family and I basically raised my 2 little brothers during my junior year (some grade slippage accounted for here)

Alumni preference: upwards of 10 aunts, uncles, and cousins have attended along with my great grandfather.

I know it’s an insane reach for anyone, but it is literally a dream for me. Do I even have a shot? Be honest! No hurt feelings here.

@kgt5979 You’re stats look to be around the range and your essay sounds like it would be compelling and indicative of who you are. You have a solid shot IMO especially if they recruited you for volleyball.

@kgt5979 both of your GPA and SAT are below average, but legacy could help you

just saw the Vandy email and nearly got a heart attack because I thought decisions were out and I had not been expecting this

My S got email at 6:22 Pacific. He is a CV scholarship winner, so I thought he won’t get an email because of that.

Omgggg, I don’t know if I can handle Vanderbilt decisions being tomorrow!! :))

Does anyone know if the number of digits in the link means anything? I know this was highly discussed in last year’s thread, but I’m not sure if they came to a conclusion…I have 30 digits btw

Idk either, have 30 digits as well though

I’m from NJ, got my email at 6:30 EST which would be 5:30 CST…also I don’t want to read into things too much but in case anyone is trying to speculate over the number of digits given in the email link mine had 29 (hopefully I didn’t miscount/am not giving false info) good luck to everyone! It will all be over soon, which is relieving no matter the outcome!

30 digits here too. I think it was determined that digits do not mean anything. Honestly, we will find out in 19 hours so this speculation is not really necessary.

Every thread I’ve been on is high anxiety and sherlock holmes like clue hunting. Chill my friends. We will soon know and no sooner.

Anyone think I have a shot at getting in if another student from my school was already accepted by MOSAIC? Im just unsure of how quotas work (GA school)
