@parkcentral u just got waitlisted? Or u got off waitlist?
I got waitlisted last month, will pulling off my financial aid application boost my chances of getting admitted?
@illiniBoyi Vanderbilt admits that their waitlist is need-aware. Therefore, it could possibly increase your chances of admission. However, is it really okay for you to withdraw your financial aid application in hopes of getting accepted and then bearing the burden of having to pay the full price of Vanderbilt?
How’s you guys’ GPA for this spring semester?
@deliciousSteak not as good as my fall semesters lol… it’s almost June I am starting to be concerned of when we will hear back
@CollegeIsHardxx I got 4.0 for this spring semester in a private University. But I think the remaining spots are very limited, and I am not even sure whether they will take people off waitlist or not.
Thanks for the info @deliciousSteak ! Tbh I am not really sure, I’m in a dilemma cause Vanderbilt and Rice are my only possible options as I’ve been waitlisted by both. Purdue is the only university I got accepted to, and I am certain I don’t want to go to Purdue
Has anyone received any updates? Have heard barely anything. Thought we would know by now.
@fizclem they mention (in the waitlist FAQ) that they will close the transfer class by mid-July
@illiniBoyi that’s so late. It seems like they should know how many spots are available based on who has paid the deposits for their acceptance.
@CollegeIsHardxx I know right! I looked at last year:s thread, seems like Vanderbilt sent an email that the waitlist is closed in August, which is ridiculous!! Check it out - http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/vanderbilt-university/1933583-vanderbilt-transfer-thread-fall-2017.html
@illiniBoyi I just looked through that thread and it seems like barely anyone got off the waitlist and the one who did got off in August. And apparently a bunch of people never got a decision and some never knew the waitlist closed? I think if mid-June comes around and there’s still no word than maybe I’ll call the admissions and ask?
There have been a few new people adding introductions to the Class of 2022 FB page so they might still be pulling for other classes too. Don’t want to give you false hope but… just passing it along.
There are 218 people in the facebook transfer group now. I know maybe not all of them will choose to attend vandy but it could be a sign that remaining spots are very limited.
I really hope some people could get off waitlist eventually!
I think I would rather be rejected now then get accepted in August. I just want to know. Ahhh it’s so frustrating
Anyone called admission office to ask about waitlist?
@deliciousSteak I did. As expected, they were pretty vague. All they told me was “sooner than later”
@illiniBoyi I think they will send the second action request waitlist continued interest email if they want to start to give offers from the waitlist?
I really hope us could hear back earlier.
I called the admission office a few days ago and was given zero information. Lady on the phone would tell me nothing, from the size of the waitlist, to how many people usually got off.
I sent an update to my application, and got a reply from a counselor. I’m just happy that I got SOME communication from them
