The second wave appears to be heavy on rejections from what I viewed.

@zwetsch where did you view that at? I have not got a decision yet is it possible I still get in?

@Faexpopuli @OwlOfAthena Did you guys have everything turned in by March 15th? I’m wondering because I also applied for the School of Engineering but I don’t have a decision yet.

@cloud7 Yes, my application was complete by 3/12.

@Faexpopuli you have very good stats so i wouldnt let one school get you down. college admissions is very weird and can seem random

waitlisted…Can someone tell me the chance for a waitlist student to get into Vandy?

@SophTransfer2019
What are you thinking about a possible USC vs Vanderbilt decision

the fact that the first wave had a large number of acceptances has me worried about future waves and those of us who haven’t heard back yet

@sophTransfer2019 what time did you get the email?

@transferguyyy Thank you. I’ll try to stay positive.

@itsgoingtobeokay I agree hoping I get in

If we have not heard back yet, does that mean we won’t be hearing for at lest a week?
