Congrats Dr Callis!
I got the call earlier today too, and am still in a bit of shock. This definitely is moving Vandy up in my considerations.

Is Hopkins still in the running? I'm trying to decide between Vandy and Johny and would like to know any of your thought process. I'm slightly bitter both second looks are the same weekend. Lame.

So what's the deal, do we expect any movement on the waitlist? Or do we have any idea how long the list is?

I am still thinking about Hopkins, but am leaning heavily towards Vanderbilt. I am going to both Second Looks - Hopkins on Thursday and Friday and Vandy on Saturday. Hopkins has always been my dream school, and I fell even more in love on interview day. However, I did not receive much financial aid, so going to Hopkins would mean $300,000+ in debt versus very little debt at Vanderbilt. I like that students at Vandy are more relaxed and the campus is beautiful! I've also talked to a number of Vandy students and professors who convinced me that the curriculum changes will go smoothly. PM me if you want to talk more details! It is a very hard decision.

True. I know 3 people with 75%, 2 people with 100%... Yet, I'm still hoping for a scholarship myself

I'm wondering the same thing. I think I remember hearing somewhere that out of students interviewed, Vandy accepts around 25%, waitlists 50% and rejects 25%. I have no source for that, but if it's true than the waitlist could be pretty big until May 15th.

Nothing here yet. Checked the thread from last year and most waitlist movement didn't happen till mid-May to mid-June. Definitely hoping to hear soon! This process has been way too long and drawn out. I've been at UT-Memphis since late Dec. but holding out on Vandy this whole time. Hopefully I can still find a roommate for UT if I need to come mid-June. Otherwise if I go to Vandy I can live at home and save moolah at least for the first year

Hey, I was wondering the same thing. I don't believe we have to do anything but send in an official transcript (directly to them) and get the healthcare squared away. Second look was incredible!

Hey guys - this site has a list of all the important dates and things for y'all's entering class. Hope it helps! (and I don't think you have to pay a fee to accept your spot, at least we didn't last year) welcome to Vandy!

Withdrawing from the waitlist. It's been a long hard slog with Vandy, but it's that time when I have to commit to someplace and start getting settled, so I'm going to have to let this one go.

Good luck to the rest of you!

At second look, we were told that VUSM accepted 280 students for approx. 125 seats. I do not think that there will be a whole lot of wait list movement. With sadness, I have withdrawn from VUSM even though I know that many of the accepted students are well balanced and incredibly talented. I wish all of you the best at a very good institution.

Question Waitlist?
Has there been any waitlist movement lately? I have not given up hope, yet.

Seems like its all quiet on the Vandy front. Or maybe just no SDNers are hearing back yet. Should pick up sometime soon
