Annual discussion thread for all things waitlist
Someone on Reddit just got off the WL. Did anyone else have this happen?
No, but I saw that on Reddit also.
I feel like that had to be a unique case. It has never been this early…
Did vanderbilt waitlist a lot this year? I got in contact with my AO so I hope that means something
I couldn’t find an email for my AO. How did you contact yours? And as for waitlisting, I’d assume they waitlisted a couple thousand, but there is no saying how many accepted it.
Yeah, maybe, I saw the same thing happened to a few people at UChicago. It does seem early.
I still don’t think the real first wave will be out until May 1st or 2nd.
I see there’s another person who got a waitlist offer on the 14th. Do we think there was a first wave? Why before May?
Maybe filling very niche spots? It definitely seems early but hopefully that means a lot of spots are opening up!
Yeah maybe? I’d assume there were very distinct things Vandy wanted this early.
I didn’t see the 2nd person. Did you see it on Reddit also? Did either person mention major or where they are from?

Did anyone get the recent “Action Required: Vanderbilt Waitlist Information” email?
Yes, I received that same email from Vandy this afternoon. Their email asked that I reconfirm my interest in remaining on the waitlist.
Interestingly, after I logged into MyAppVU and reconfirmed my interest, nothing happened. I did not get a confirmation email. Nothing on my application webpage changed to show that I successfully reconfirmed my interest. I therefore have no assurance that my interest to stay on the waitlist (which Vandy requested today) has been freshly registered in their system.
Did the same happen to you, avatarrow?
Yep, the same thing happened to me. However, I think everyone on the waitlist got the email.
Yeah same thing happened with me.
Yeah, same. They are just toying with our emotions. ; )
Based on past years, the first wave of acceptances should be today or tomorrow!
