I feel like they don’t respect the applicants at all. They pick up the applicants like picking pumpkins from the farmer’s market.

They pick the applicants that complete the class they’re building.
people are probably just concerned because last year they took nobody in after the first wave

Very true! But I also think last year was a bit of a mess because of the return of the gap year and deferral kids. Hopefully this year will be a bit more normal. But you’re right to view WL admits with healthy skepticism. I’m just saying there’s really no downside to staying on if it’s a school you’d go to if admitted. But each person has to do what makes sense for them.
Where is everyone committed to as a backup? If you want to share….
Just my state school, Vandy was a first choice reach for me
Did anyone receive an email today asking if they wanted to remain on the waitlist?

Yeah, although it looks like they will be closing the class soon, the email now says IF they pull from the waitlist again
it also says “As we take another look at our incoming first-year class, we’d like to again assess your interest in attending Vanderbilt” though
I did… even though i am so sick of this I am so so so so so sick of this BS

I send them a second LOCI and they replied that
“In most years, we do not make our first offers of admission from the waitlist until mid-May. We will continue to make offers from the waitlist until the class is full.”
looks like ■■■■■■■■ to me lmao I dont care if vandy sees me cursing here, tho I still hope to go, this is pissing me off lol
they said that knowing that they let people in on like may 3rd??
Email came this morning to continue waiting. We were so excited about the idea that they take about 10% of their class from the waitlist. It made the wait seem hopeful! I guess the waitlist is quite large. Does anyone know? Still haven’t committed to a full-ride elsewhere…after visiting, her dream has been Vanderbilt. We missed the early decision train….

Hi I did not receive “if we wanted to remain on the waitlist?” related email but i’m on waitlist. I am little bit confused cuz cannot see the prompt for continuous interest essay

This is specifically for undergrad first years I believe, Transfer applicants will have a separate waitlist
