2023-2024 Vanderbilt

Do you know why the last A wave is smallest? Fewer applicants left to review or is it that they admit fewer at the end?

No clue, just looking at trends based on previous years' threads

And they only call accepted candidates - no email?

And they only call accepted candidates - no email?

I and a few others in December were accepted without receiving a call. Just probably forgot or didn't get around to it

 

[SCG3212]

Any chance that early feb interviews will be in tomorrow’s wave?

When did you receive the email in relation to when the reported calls were? Congrats on the A!

Email came on a Monday after a Friday afternoon call

 

[txapp913945]

Comes in the 2nd wave too, but it seems to be less common -- It also looks like if they don't mention merit aid during that call, you won't be getting merit aid anytime later

I am 99% sure the second part of this statement is true -- merit aid at time of acceptance or not at all. Merit aid is none, 75% tuition, or full tuition.

what time are decisions out tmrw?

 

[NotADoctor1]

what time are decisions out tmrw?

I think they just call people throughout the day

 

[FernThePlant]

Calls have historically started in the afternoon

 

[FFforM1122]

as someone who interviewed very early and didnt hear anything in December, is there still a chance for me tomorrow? 🥲

I hope so because me too 😭

Edit: Looking back at last year's thread I did see a couple of October/November interviewers get accepted in the February wave

 

[pbnj1448]

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

 

[dj_spore]

Set your 24 minute timers y'all....

 

[FernThePlant]

I'm legit nauseous rn from the waiting -- my resting HR is sub-50 and for the first time ever I got an apple watch warning that my HR went above 120 at rest

 

[35mat]

Any chance that early feb interviews will be in tomorrow’s wave?

how early? I was told during our interview date to get update/ intent/ interest letters in by Feb 6 for feb decisions. they also said it is unclear whether they would get to our date (jan 29) for feb decisions though

 

[FernThePlant]

I thought there wasn't a set time for decisions?

There's no official set time but historically calls have started at like 1pm CST

[JukeBoxHeroo]

Yall gotta let us know the first letter of your last names too now.

It's by credit card number so might as well throw that in too.

 

[sillychemistry]

feels like a trickle not a wave

 

[JukeBoxHeroo]

[sillychemistry]

I want them to trickle on me soon

[procrastinating_cheetah]

Vandy please call meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

 

[JukeBoxHeroo]

when do we think the last batch of calls goes out?

 

[sillychemistry]

I think like 5-6 CST. Seems to be slower then the first wave of As

 

[sdfwr312]

onto the WL, i go.

 

[ThyAmbitionsToRest]

Were WL emails sent? I can't with this delayed suspense.

 

[hockeyguy69]

OOS A call!

 

[NotADoctor1]

OOS A call!

Just now? They’re still going?

 

[ballislife123]

Were WL emails sent? I can't with this delayed suspense.

I don’t think those come out until after the third wave of admissions

 

[procrastinating_cheetah]

Have there been any MSTP calls today?

 

[hockeyguy69]

Just now? They’re still going?

yea

 

[NotADoctor1]

yea

Nice dude congrats

 

[prizefloor]

Do you guys think the As today were just under reported? It doesn't make sense how there were so few compared to the last acceptance day...

 

[procrastinating_cheetah]

Looking back through the December wave, it looks like people got calls from Friday through Monday

 

[toastedbutter]

I got my call in December at 5:30pm ET so still a little while left. Also people got in the following Monday by email, no call. It's not over until the R hits your inbox

 

[fakeprofile17]

Just got call 5 mins ago!

 

[JukeBoxHeroo]

Just got call 5 mins ago!

[dj_spore]

Second this -- also got the call later than the big SDN wave, and they are done by multiple folks including admins with potentially busy schedules. Also, a lot of folks (or more than 1) got an email without a call. Wait for the emails to hit Monday!

 

[Youssef Naguib]

Got an OOS A about half an hour ago with a full tuition scholarship! Interviewed early November and sent thank you notes but no LOI.

[Talkamar]
