<p>I got waitlisted and am dying to go to Vanderbilt. If you don't wanna go there and are staying on "just because" please think of everyone else who really really wants to be at Vanderbilt, it would be much appreciated. </p>

<p>Not trying to seem like an a**hole, but I just figured I would put it out there. </p>

<p>Thanks and good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Same here!!! Haha:)</p>

<p>My son was accepted to Vanderbilt RD and sent in a letter today declining admission, so there is at least 1 spot open for waitlist applicants. Good luck all!</p>

4

<p>I am declining my admission as well. Echoing poster above me, good luck guys!</p>

5

<p>You guys are the best! Haha</p>

6

<p>Remember, colleges spend time predicting their yield, so there isn’t necessarily a 1:1 ratio of someone declining admission and Vanderbilt offering someone admission from the waitlist.
Good luck to you all though!</p>

7

<p>Declining ASAP! Good luck guys!</p>

<p>Awesome thanks, hope you all end up at the school thats right for you!</p>

<p>what do you think are the chances of getting off the waitlist?</p>

11

<p>&& has anyone gotten off? :/</p>

12

<p>Not yet! I’m still praying but if not I’m headed off to Auburn next year!</p>

13

<p>they wont send out any waitlist decisions until after may 1st, last year the first wave was on may 5th. I think i have a pretty good chance, but who knows these days. I’m gonna go to Michigan if I dont get in.</p>

14

<p>Michigan is a good school!
I’m going to UC Davis if I don’t get off…
do you know around how many people out of what total got off the waitlist last year?</p>
