What college did you previously commit to?
Hello and congratulations on your acceptance. You mentioned you’re from Midwest. Could you please share your state? My daughter is waitlisted and we live in Iowa.
previously, i committed to the macaulay honors college at baruch!
Ah, New Yorker! Public school? Congrats.
Sadly, my D has not heard here in NY. She is actually very happy with her committed school, but would be nice to have the option. Congrats to those who got off the WL.
Burbs or city?
Burbs, very competitive public. They accepted two regular , neither is going. My D sent a loci and said she would attend if accepted. I thought she had a good shot. I guess not.
yessirrr B) thank you!!
to those who are still waiting, i truly believe that the extra letter of recommendation I sent was really helpful and probably was the final factor that got me off the wailist. i remotely interned in healthcare for a vegan restaurant and I did a lot of research, and I asked my intern coordinator to help me write a letter since I felt that he was the best advocate for me when it came to leadership, research, and work skills.

I think a loci is important as it shows interest. As far as the rest…not sure it makes a difference. They are looking to plug holes. If you fit, and you have expressed interest, then you have a shot. I could be wrong, but that’s how I see it.

Totally agree. I sent a second LOCI first thing Monday morning and got off the waitlist at noon. The LOCI was definitely a deciding factor.

I also sent in a second LOCI, did you guys get a response from an AO or just an offer later that day?
if you don’t mind me asking, what did you put in the second loci? I really want to get off the waitlist but I’m not too sure what you have to add in it
Just an offer later that day. I sent it both to the AO and the “Student waitlist update” thing on the portal
My first LOCI (I sent May 18th) focused on “why vanderbilt” and how I would fit in/contribute to the school. My second LOCI (sent yesterday) was more about updates on my ECs and my summer plans and how that connects to my prospective major.
ah, i added both in my first loci. I’ll probably just reaffirm in the second one then
