<p>This should be a nice few days of COMPLETE stress!</p>

82

<p>Although after rereading the article some of their language made me even more nervous:</p>

<p>“Never before in our institution’s history has the applicant pool been so academically qualified,” “EDI applications were up significantly versus last year,” “we recognize that many of you will receive some tough news this week.”</p>

83

<p>I’m already preparing myself for rejection. There is no way, especially with what they said on the blog.</p>

<p>“EDI applications were up significantly versus last year and the applicant pool presented the most impressive academic credentials that Vanderbilt has seen”</p>

84

<p>^ I was thinking the exact same thing!</p>

<p>Good Luck Everyone!</p>

85

<p>Yeah. Anyone care to post their stats?</p>

86

<p>Does anyone know if it’s possible to be waitlisted if you applied Early Decision? I know Vandy doesn’t defer, but I can’t find anything about waitlisting in relation to ED.</p>

87

<p>gah! nerves!</p>

88

<p>I am pretty sure it is just Accept or Reject Jilly</p>

<p>I posted this awhile ago when first applying. Feel free to read :slight_smile:
