<p>I received my wait list letter, filled out everyone including my e-mail, and was under the impression that those wait listed would receive confirmation that the request was received via e-mail? Is that not the case? And if not, when will Vanderbilt let me know if they have space for me?</p>
<p>I don’t know about the procedure for confirming your spot on the waitlist, but it would be highly unusual for you to hear about a waitlist opening prior to May 1 since that’s the deadline for all acceptances to be confirmed/denied. The admissions staff probably gets the question about confirming receipt of your waitlist acknowledgement all the time - just call them. They are quite a nice office.</p>
<p>I sent my card in right after I got it and received an email a few days ago saying that they received and gave me an email address for questions. It also said periodically they would email you asking if you want to remain on the waitlist. As for a specific day when you’d hear back, it could be any where from May 2nd to June 30th, though I think most will have found out by the end of May.</p>
