OMG. I got added to the Vanderbilt transfer students group on Facebook. I’m freaking out rn. Do they add people who are on the waitlist?
@illiniBoyi I was also added and I’m on the waitlist. Guess so.
Where have you guys committed while you wait for your waitlist decision, if you don’t mind me asking?
@chemloverr Purdue, wbu?
can we expect some offers from waitlist this week?
I visited last week and talked to the counselor on call about the waitlist. He said that although they reserve the right to be need aware, they are currently evaluating applications without looking at it. So essentially they can look at your financial aid, but they aren’t. (He actually said they have absolutely no access to anything in the financial aid department.)
He also said they had been evaluating applicants and had begun releasing people off of the waitlist, but based on this thread and everything else I’ve seen I’m not sure if they have sent out those decisions or just decided within the department. He did confirm that their overall goal is to have everything finalized by the end of the month, but that they can’t 100% guarantee anything.
@remytreat Thanks for this useful information! I think they have to notify financial aid office to make financial aid package once they decided to accept someone, so it might also take some time? Usually vandy sent acceptance and financial aid package all together. Did they mention specific date that they start to take people off waitlist?
That’s actually a really good idea that they might be waiting for financial aid! I know with some other schools I applied to that financial aid can sometimes take a week or more.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t give me a concrete date for anything - just said to keep an eye out and that they wanted to finalize the class by the end of the month. Thinking about it now, I’m not sure if that means that we would need to respond by the end of the month (which is how I would interpret it) or they would release the decisions by the end of the month.
Hope there are some actions during today or next week!
I checked first year waitlist thread, it looks like someone called the admission office and the admission office gave some certain dates that they going to release decisions.
Has anybody called recently to ask information about transfer waitlist?
Anyone has any news?
@Seaship, still waiting. Hopefully, we’ll know this week!
No news at all?
Nothing 
It’s getting late into summer now. Can’t believe we haven’t heard back but judging from last year’s thread we will probably hear in August.
July 15th is when my school sends the bill so hopefully we hear before then
Anyone hear anything?
Where are you guys committing to if you don’t get off the waitlist?
Still nothing - I did talk to them and they said there is one more wave coming though. The waitlist is apparently combined between freshman and transfers though, so the last wave could be mostly freshman - who knows anymore.
I’m going to Santa Clara University next to Silicon Valley. Not nearly as good as Vanderbilt, but I still love the school and it’s location for jobs.
I’m committed to the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill
