@AGoodFloridian I hope you explained that well in your app. That seems like it could really help you or atleast help your current school situation not look bad
@VaishS I certainly did! I mentioned it in the “Additional Information” portion on my CommonApp. I tried to be as realistic as possible with my college choices.
My list started off with 20, and eventually ended with 8. (Sorry to say, UPenn was one of the ones I cut off. I know it’s one of your top choices, and I do wish you the best! I got an eye on the thread, and I’m rooting for you!). There’s a fair mix of reaches and matches. The “safeties” are two state colleges to which I’ve also applied.
To put this year’s thread in perspective… I’m pretty sure last year’s thread had 39 pages TOTAL.
We’re at 39 right now, and we haven’t received one decision yet :))
edit: Let’s all cross our fingers for @Mastodon97 , as (s)he most likely will be getting a decision from UNC today! Goooood luuuck!
@anonymoussss123 Business hours end at 6PM EST/5 CT in Nashville. Sometimes admissions offices post outside of normal business hours but it looks like Vanderbilt hasn’t done that historically.
In theory, is it a reasonable possibility that they might still post in the next few hours?
@limitsbylaw Yes, there is. I still think Monday is a better candidate, but today isn’t too far of a stretch either. I’d check in about three hours from now.
Of course. But monday is more probable I think.
@AGoodFloridian those who wait three hours are the weak ones!!!
*Goes back to madly refreshing MyAppVU
I can’t stand rolling admission. You never know when to expect it, so you end up obsessively checking for a result.
agreed @limitsbylaw it is the worst
I was looking over the thread from last year, and I think it’s a pretty safe bet that at least some of us will hear back at around 4pm EST on Monday.
yeaaaaaaaah doesn’t mean i won’t obsessively check myappvu
Ok, I just got accepted to UNC, so my situation I described earlier of me not having any colleges to go to and becoming a bum isn’t a worry anymore lol. This makes it a whole lot less stressful.
congratulations!!! omg!! :’)
@Mastodon97 Dude that’s awesome! Congrats! <:-P
@Mastodon97 Congratulations, man!
@somehmonggirl @newtmon @limitsbylaw Thanks, guys, I appreciate it. Though, I’d join you guys at Vandy in a heartbeat
Same for me! Still waiting on Vandy but UNC is also a good choice.
Got into UNC, waiting on Vandy and others. Hopefully I hear back soon because I don’t want to be at a loss for housing and classes.
i feel so close to y’all now. like i seriously hope we all get accepted and have a group already lmao
