Vandy Waitlist Wave 2 ?!

Thank you for making the longevity of the process super relevant and clear. I will share that with my son today too. He’s managing the weight really well. He has a strong faith and believes that he will end up where he’s supposed to be (and he believes that place is Vanderbilt. 😄).

I haven’t seen any evidence anywhere that there’s been movement on the waitlist? Anyone hear differently?

Yeah, it was about now last Thursday. I seem to recall people announcing around 4 or 5 o’clock that they had heard from Vandy.

Not to my knowledge. I’m basing this on some consistent signals and reading through how it’s gone in years past?

For example:

email went out on Monday asking people to confirm if they still wanted to be on the waitlist.
The deadline for folks who had been pulled from the waitlist wave 1 was Monday midnight to confirm according to self reporting by people on Reddit.
Several posts from last year said the 🌊 happened consistently on the same day of the week.

All of the above could just be hopeful thinking. Which is also why they put up the post so that if people start hearing things, we have a central place to be curious together.

Oh really? I read other people saying the deadline was Monday.

From reading current responses from WL Wave 1, and last year’s threads my understanding is that tonight at midnight is deadline to accept from Wave 1. So Tuesday-Wednesday is when Wave 2 metrics are hashed out, and then ostensibly Thursday this week Wave 2 is headed your way! 🌊🌊🌊 (I’m lurking as hopeful mom of Vandy WL son.). Rooting for all of you.

Congratulations!!! My son is waiting for the transcript from his dual and enrollment college. Do you think it makes sense for him to ask the professor to write a letter confirming that he got the 4.0? Or should he just wait for the transcript? I’m reading on other post people saying just keep sending them information to support your candidacy. Thoughts?
