Yes most definitely! It was definitely a long shot with my application but yours sounds like you would be in good standing:)
Do you guys think it is too early for the first wave to come out today? Will it more likely be next Thursday?
Since the admission website says that it begins after late April, today may be too early
Yeah, Iād be surprised if it came out today. @poetryingtohard So you just happened to log on the portal and your decision was right there?
oh i misunderstood we got a notification that our decision was there to let us know but nothing like announcing that we would hear on a certain day

Gotcha. What time did you receive the email?
it doesnāt say cuz it was a year ago just the day
I know the year before last year decisions were taking forever and waitlists were pretty much a rejection. Was that the case for you last year?
I didnāt hear till 7/30/21 so really close to school starting and i never got off the waitlist so yeah i did multiple letters of interest sent updates talked to staff gave new rec letters and nothing
Yeah, last year was a really weird year. I was even waitlisted at first at Wake Forest but was admitted very late in the summer and I didnāt update them with anything (but Wake likes demonstrated interest). I know a lot of people were waitlisted RD and Iām wondering if we will be considered with first-year waitlisted applicants or if vandy sets aside spots for transfers entirely.
honestly i have no clue i think they have waitlist spots for transfers my gpa isnāt as good this year so i donāt even expect to be waitlisted again but i had to try because it is so my dream school congrats on wake forest thatās an increidble school!

Youāve got this! I heard once you meet the benchmark for GPA it doesnāt really matter. Your experiences/extracurriculars will carry your application. Best of luck
I feel like I have no shot since im a community college transfer lol
I will say the success of community college applicants is rare (based on what Iāve seen in past forums) but definitely not impossible. Iāve seen 3 people get in. Are you a sophomore?
What is benchmark for gpa?
Thank you! I so so hope so i have worked so hard to look good for vandy I got into UVA last year but couldnāt afford it but vandy is just worth a million dollars to me

According to Vandy Admission criteria, they prefer students with a GPA of A-/A. This translates differently to what school you attend (Higher ranked schools even out w a lower gpa , vice versa).
Lol agreed. Hope to see you in the fall!
I have a 3.7 with a top 40 school. Does that mean Iām in good shape?
