Has anyone waitlisted at Vandy (incoming freshman) gotten any sort of email asking to confirm interest in staying on the waitlist? In past years, they’ve usually sent 2 by now, but I haven’t even gotten one… hoping I didn’t miss anything. My application portal still stays I’m on the waitlist, so I’m assuming I haven’t missed an email, but I’m a little nervous wondering if/when one will be sent out.
same here…I have been wonder about the same. Last year, Vandy sent out on April 12, as well as April 19…but so far this year, have not received a single one yet…really wonder about this? Do you think the year all slots are full…and Vandy is no longer admit any from waitlist?
That’s what I was thinking, but Vandy said for the last 28 years they’d admitted students from WL. I doubt this would be the first year that’s different. My portal also says that I’m still on the waitlist, so I figure they’d let us know if they closed it. I emailed my counselor my own LOCI, but that was a week ago and he hasn’t responded. When I initially emailed him about 3 weeks ago, he responded super quickly, but that was the last response I got from him. Thinking I might email again and ask about the emails not being sent out, but I don’t want to seem too pushy.
Thanks… let’s share when we find out something…I have emailed my AO as well…but got an out of office notification…
I just emailed mine, I’ll let you know what he says.
Thanks…My AO will not be back until the 30th, return email says…
Just got a response from my AO: “Regarding waitlist interest emails; no, we have not sent emails. Historically, we have sent them around the month of April, but we have not sent anything thus far.”
As soon as I sent a thank-you reply, I got an automatic response saying my AO was out of office until April 27… makes me think they’re busy making decisions and trying to figure stuff out.
thank you very much…did they say anything whether they still plan to send any emails or when they will do it…I hv not got any from my AO yet…will let u know when she replies…
Nothing about whether they’re sending/when they’ll send. When I sent a response, I got an automatic out of office email back. So I think they’re pretty busy right now.
My Vanderbilt regional counselor just emailed me back this morning. She told me they will begin releasing decisions for waitlisted applicants in the beginning of May, hoping to finish up by July 4.
there is an email today, to reconfirm interest on waitlist…
@Freddie123 Does everyone get the email?
I believe email were sent to all waitlisted students…
Vandy admits a lot from the wait list 10-12%. It is actuallly EASIER to get into Vandy by 1st being denied and waitlisted, than it is to be admitted regular decision! So…just show lots and lots of interest. They are doing this to increase their yield number (yield affects ranking.
First wave came out around 4:30 this afternoon, in case anybody is wondering… I’m in!
which school you are in? CAS, Engineering or…
Peabody. Which did you get into?
How did you get your notice of admission? Through email or did you check in the portal?
I got an email, which directed me to my portal where there was a blurb “would you like to accept your offer of admission?”
