Discover Your Odds of Getting into Medical School
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Hey guys, I just spoke to the admissions office on the phone and they said new acceptance calls can still be going out over the course of this week. Have faith, we can still get the call!

Sorry to hear that :/
Was there an update in your portal too? Also, when did you interview if you don't mind me asking (I am a mid-December app still holding my breath haha)

Honestly super happy about a WL!! Didn’t think that would even be a possibility with my numbers. The only portal update is a little “MD waitlist” tab on the left hand side :)

Does everyone who interviewed and didn’t get an A go onto the waitlist or do they reject post interview? Trying to figure out how big this waitlist pool is.

How does VUSM move the waitlist? Is it rolling or after a certain time?
 
WL too. Kind of sucks, I just got two pubs and updated them like 2 weeks ago so now I am kind of screwed on my next update haha

It’s not rolling and only begins moving after May 1st (May 2nd this year) once the CTE deadline passes. It’s also not a ranked WL and the adcom really emphasizes that they are trying to use the WL to fill missing gaps and round out their class.

I'll send you a message with the link.
 
So has everyone either been accepted or waitlisted at this point? (no Rs and everyone has heard?)
 
If anyone is looking for an apartment PM me. Spacious 1bed/1ba available in June (15 mins away from campus). Starbucks coffee machine in the office/study area. Lots of Vandy/Meharry students live here as well.

Where is the portal? I am on a waitlist at another MD school and don't see anything on my AMCAS home page. Thank you!
 
Laughed at my financial aid summary, turning down A this wk… best of luck to those on WL

If you're trying to understand how need-based scholarships are calculated, per the financial aid video, it's currently 40% of your "need" as calculated from your submitted CSS Profile.

Vanderbilt has a ridiculous cost too. 100k per year. Out of state tuition in cali plus outrageous living costs still doesn't even come to that much.

I know Vandy tends to take around 15 people off of the waitlist every year, but does anyone know how big the pool is? How many people are on the waitlist overall? Is everyone who interviewed accepted or waitlisted?
 
Did anyone else get a waitlist status email asking for an update or confirmation of interest? Wondering if they sent this out to everyone on the waitlist since they are unranked.

Yep I got this too. I figure it was sent to everyone. Do y'all figure our chances are shot if we don't send a LOI? Kind of surprised how schools openly ask for LOI especially since I'd gotten the impression from SDN/reddit that adcoms don't really consider them!

I think Vandy really considers them as they specifically said they were more conservative with initial acceptance offers. I know a few people got in off the waitlist last year after sending an LOI

Thanks for the info! Not great news for me as I already sent my LOI to a diff school but good to know nonetheless! Still keeping my fingers crossed.

So i know we should expect the waitlist movement to begin on May 2nd, but, when is the last day for that? or is it just on May 2nd?
 
Did anyone get a response after they sent their LOI? I sent it in but no one confirmed receiving it.

I haven't gotten a response to either my update letter or my confirmation that I'd like to stay on the WL

When did you send it? I also sent one and didn't hear back from them.

I sent the email last week. I suggest that you check that the letter is uploaded on your portal and then email admissions to just let them know that you have submitted your letter. You can even attach the letter to the email as well.

I didn't get a response when I confirmed that I would like to stay on the WL either. I guess it might be all of us.

Submitted a letter of intent this morning and just got a confirmation email that they received it
 
I sent a letter of intent last week to the mdadmissions email and received confirmation as well. Do we have an idea of when they will be making offers to waitlisted applicants?
