Seems to me it’s all dependent on who denied their admissions offer. They will look for someone who fits that same profile in the waitlist.

Yes, that’s how it works. But they do consider EFC too some years for waitlisted students. So I’m guessing if two students would both fill the gap and one is higher income, they may get the spot over the other student some years
Did you accept Vanderbilt?

No - have to decide within next couple of days. Most likely to stick with my current commitment.

Yes, my twin daughters (engineering) got the initial email asking about interest in staying on the waitlist, and then a second round today.

DS was admitted (engineering) yesterday. This will be our 2nd at Vandy. Nashville is a great place for college students. The town is growing, but plenty for students there.

I think you’re right. If they have two students with the same profile as the one that declined their admissions offer, they’ll look to other factors to differentiate, like EFC, interest, etc

Hey guys. I got off the waitlist into arts and sciences day before. EFC came to just about 11k per year. Sat superscore 1590. Sent in loci on 29th april. Have committed although im still on the wharton and williams waitlists. Also, i didn’t attend the waitlist session that peeps are talking about here. I’m American but have lived abroad my entire life. Let me know if you guys want to know anything.

1590 and you were waitlisted for a non-impacted major? What chance do the rest of us have? I am mid 1500s and waitlisted for CS.
