@AGoodFloridian Where have you heard back from so far?
What percentage of applicants are usually “the first wave”?
Anyone else have Garth Parke as their officer?
@LookAtMe I think it really depends on who’s applications are complete that are gonna get their decisions first. I’m not sure but I think theres a lot of people that are still missing items
I see this as based on counselors, I sent in additional material (mid term report) that is very important and I think it would take them a bit more time to consider
@SmartJarhead Hey, I heard back from Pomona. They only accepted around 15 students and I wasn’t one of those unfortunately.
I’m not discouraged though, they released decisions so early that I never even had the chance to tell them of my Summer internship, let alone about the Jack Kent Cooke scholarship.
@AGoodFloridian oh okay, well you still got plenty of options coming out in the coming weeks. Congratulations on the internship and scholarship by the way!
@SmartJarhead Thaank you! The scholarship is a huge help, financially and hook-wise. I know good news is coming our way in May (and April, hopefully next week eh?).
It’d be awesome if we both got into our top choices, which just so happen to be the same! (Princeton/Stanford) <3
@AGoodFloridian Definitely! I can’t wait to see where we end up, it’s an exciting ride.
@AGoodFloridian Well done my dude, sprinkling good luck your way!
You think if my admissions counselor wrote me a very long email (200+ words) in response to a question it’s an indication of anything?
depends on the question tbh
I’m glad Vandy isn’t releasing decisions today. I don’t need that Friday the 13th mojo on me.
@AGoodFloridian Congratulations on the scholarship, the fact that you received it should bode well for your transfer admissions. What field is your internship in?
how do we know they won’t come out today? Just curious, did anyone hear them say it wasn’t today?
Well, as recently as 2016 some waves had portals updated on Friday and emails sent Monday. Although, that didn’t happen in 2017 and didn’t happen first wave in 2016. I’d say there’s some possibility that portals are updated today, but far more likely first wave is either Monday or Tuesday at around 5:15 est.
Yo the portal was just down for me for a minute. Could it mean something?
@TerrierNation maybe but that doesn’t mean they’ll necessarily update it tonight. idk if vandy usually releases decisions at this time but it seems kinda late at this point
Could just be server maintenance.
