but how is it the end of may and there has only been one wave 
iām so confused itās so different from past years
Thatās what Iāve been sayin! I donāt understand why itās taking so long to hear back. Only one person from cc has gotten off so far.
If you go back and read this thread there were several who were accepted in the first wave from CC. Also several on Reddit. Definitely was a wave around May 10th.

Yeah, there were several who got off in the first wave as posted higher in this thread, plus on reddit. Usually there is more than one wave as they hear back from people from the first wave but itās possible most people in the first wave accepted their spots so not much more movement. I was thinking there might be a 2nd wave since they sent us the email to re-confirm our interest, but it doesnāt appear so. There may have been a trickle of offers rather than a 2nd wave and people just arenāt on CC or reddit. The chance of getting off the waitlist at this point seems very slim.

I only saw the May 4th wave of acceptances.
Thereās been a few A&S acceptances but almost no engineering acceptances. Iām guessing they accept later.
Seems strange they would wait this long though. It might be more likely that they just had much higher yield than anticipated and didnāt take very many people (or maybe none at all).

I just scrolled back and looked at the slide bar which said May 10th - maybe it was May 4th though. It was whenever a few people on here posted acceptances. Sorry for any confusion!

Anyone hear from them yet?
Iām surprised there hasnāt been a second wave of acceptances yet. What could they possibly be waiting on?
I feel like there is not going to be a second wave. There was a first wave and that I am assuming yielded very high. Possibly since have filled only a few niche spots that no one on CC or Reddit posted (knew) about. The AOās canāt be that big of jerks to just be sitting on open spots. They know everyone is finding roommates, dorms, picking classes, taking placement tests, etc. Also I am sure they want the class finalized sooner rather than later too. Afraid the no news is not good news in this case.

I understand that, but I feel like there is still hope for more waves to come. First of all, one wave of acceptances filling all the waitlist spots is unprecedented at Vandy, considering that acceptances have rolled in for students in past years as late as July or early August. However, itās possible that there was a higher yield rate in RD than normal, although I still believe thereād be more than one wave of waitlist acceptances.
Also, it should be considered that Vanderbilt AOās are in the middle of evaluating transfer applicants, which could be taking up a lot of their time. Maybe Iām being too optimistic though. If we donāt get another one next week, then Iād accept that no more waves are coming.
They would be dealing with transfer applicants every year at this time right? It seems like in the past there have been 2 waves in May and since the first one happened so early it seems like the second would have happened already. I do hope you are right and more are coming though!
Yeah, I have to agree with you. I think not hearing anything and the fact that many other schools have already closed their waitlists is a very bad sign for additional movement from Vandy. They sent out a continued interest email on 4/24 and then the first wave was 10 days later on May 4th. Iām assuming they still had some spots to fill as they sent out a 2nd continued interest email on 5/12, but I would think any spots that were available have probably been filled by now as itās already 13 days later. Definitely if we donāt hear anything today or tomorrow I think itās pretty much over. They wouldnāt wait that long to send out a 2nd wave because they want the class filled as soon as possible. It gets harder for them to fill spots as time goes on. I suspect we havenāt seen posts because there were very few spots and people just didnāt post or arenāt on CC or reddit. There is a very very small chance a spot or two could open over the next couple months if someone drops out, but this is kinda looking like a done deal to me.

Well they usually send out emails either Mondays or fridays from past emails
The process has indeed been super slow.
where are you guys committed to right now? iām going to boston college next year but would love if vanderbilt pulled through 
My kid is committed to UVA (off the waitlist). UofM before that. I think they call it the summer meltā¦
