When will be the orientation?Orientation.
VANDY overaccept a lot..Is it safe to assume waitlist movement will start tomorrow? Anyone have an idea on the number of people in the class right now?

End of this week I am hoping (for my sanity). That being said, it could have started already, no way to know until someone on SDN hears something.
this is the only place that I would drop my plans for. dang, would it be nice to get in.
But then you would have to start a "case vs. vandy" thread
j/k, but seriously, isn't case at the same level as vandy?
Has anyone received word yet? Seems awfully quiet on this front..
looking back through some older posts it seems like 4 or 5 people already got off the wait list. poop
True, but there must have been some spots, even if very few, that would have opened up post May 15th. Not much to shoot for here, but hopefully there is something. I will call admissions on Monday to see if the class is full or not. I hope at least to get a straight answer.

anything?
I know a guy who got off the waitlist this past Monday.
Does anyone know how large the class is this year? I see that the facebook group has 96 members!
I guess what I'm really asking is, is it safe to assume the class is full?

received a letter in the mail today notifying me that they are no longer considering my application from the waitlist. so waitlisted and rejected. good luck to everyone.

weird. i havent gotten one yet. anyone on the west coast? just a tiny tiny tiny glimmer of hope but either way im not really holding my breath.
huh. thanks. well my mail is kind of slow sometimes too...I am west coast, letter was dated 6/7
well that's unfortunate.I didn't get a letter, so I emailed Dr Sagen to check my application status. Apparently I'm still on the waitlist. Bad news is that the class is full and there will likely be "little movement" from here on out.
oh wow. don't think i got a call today but i guess well see. good luck everyoneWL'ed student here, did anyone else get a call from Dr. Zic today? He called me earlier this afternoon (sounds like the nicest guy in the world) and apparently they're calling the students who are ranked at the top of the wait list to gauge their interest, as there's going to be a very small amount of movement to balance out several impending withdrawals...not sure what that "officially" means, but it sounds like there are some potential pseudo-acceptances-in-advance going out.
Officially accepted off the WL as of yesterday evening, withdrawing my spot though. Hopefully it goes to one of you guys!

May I ask why you stayed on the waitlist (especially since Dean Zic asked you if you were serious about going to Vanderbilt if you were accepted) even though you were already 100% sure of where you were going?
Sure, it's certainly a valid question. I wasn't 100% sure of where I was going whatsoever when Dean Zic called to ask if I was interested in the school. At that time, I was matriculating to Mount Sinai but if there was any other school that would make me pause and consider with, it was Vanderbilt, so that was the only waitlist I remained on. When I spoke to Dean Zic last week, we talked specifically about how Mount Sinai and Vanderbilt were my top two choices and that if I were to be accepted, I would decide between both schools, something he was fully understanding of. I thought about it all weekend and discussed the pros and cons of each school with my family. I also had lengthy discussions with my best friend from college (currently an MS1 at VUSM) about the school as well. In the end, it was an unbelievably tough decision, but my family and I decided that with my sibling leaving for college coupled with general family health concerns, it would be best for me to stay as close to home as possible for the next few years. I didn't remain on the waitlist for the sake of 'collecting acceptances', if that's what you're implying, as Vanderbilt and Sinai have always been my top two choices from the start of this cycle. I hope that explanation is valid enough for you. Vandy will always have a huge place in my heart and I sincerely hope that things work out for another qualified student on the waitlist.
