didn’t get a decision back today either. now I’m extremely nervous…
so will tuesdays be the day for waves this year then?
@somehmonggirl You saw my stats right? And I still got accepted. Like I said, its probably easy for me to say it since I already got accepted but please don’t turn into one of those speculative people on CC that says that anything trivial that happens means they are rejected. You know this as well as I do that people got accepted even in May for Vandy. Don’t burden yourself with undue stress 
@usualhopeful On the decision page underneath the Connect heading there’s a tab titled “Join the Vanderbilt Transfer Students Group on Facebook” which links to the right group.
This process is giving me major anxiety. Coming from a community college, I HAVE to transfer this fall. I can’t get a degree without transferring. So it’d be awesome if I could get a decision so I can get everything set up before it’s too late. Haha
@Mastodon97 you have to understand that i’m EXTRA scared to get optimistic bc i don’t want my dreams crushed like they were last year 
i hope it ends up well but idk
