also keep in mind that vandy is need aware when it comes to waitlist decisions — those who are full pay have a huge leg up. i remember only seeing full pay students get off the waitlist on last year’s thread.
My regional AO told me that they start pulling from waitlist starting now

beginning june, but only like 2-3 people got off and it was those who didn’t require aid from what I’ve read
And she said this an email about two days ago
did she say when they would send out the first batch for waitlists? or is it like individual?
Definitely a lot more waitlists and sooner than last year, but also a lot less acceptances I think
Maybe they are waitlisting more so they can have more control over financial aid?

She didn’t say
It’s individual. You’ll receive an email saying you’ve been admitted off the waitlist and how much time you have to make your decision.
Remember there are many schools that still haven’t released their first decisions. Kids who have committed to Vandy can still decide to go elsewhere and that affects everything down the chain.

In accordance with previous years, we’re likely going to see another large wave of acceptances sooner than later. I think waitlist will come after that.

there was another wave of acceptances after the first? i wonder if they’ll include some waitlists in there, if they do release a wave like that.

I agree. It makes sense because the waitlists were released so early and I believe someone in this forum just said their AO said that they were releasing waitlist decisions.
not sure if i posted here yet- i also got waitlisted yesterday within the 2nd wave.

There could be movement on the waitlist today or more decisions for those who have not heard back yet
Did your AO send an email? If so, could you send a screenshot please. It would put my mind at ease seeing exactly what she said
did you get an email or just check your portal?
There seems to be some movement on the freshmen WL today. Who knows if they can do 2 things at once….transfers might have to wait till the freshmen stuff is sorted.
