Tracker is up to 719 interview invites, I think they've sent out everything because it usually comes up to be 720 invites every year
 
Can you send a letter of intent before being waitlisted?
 
Interviewing in a couple days and haven't gotten the interviewer info they said they'd send 3 days prior. Anyone who's already interviewed, did you guys find out your interviewers 3 days in advance or did it also come late for you?
 
For people that provided updates: did the update show up in your portal? I received a confirmation email that my update was received since I emailed it, but it wasn't in my documents on my portal (I assume it just shows up in their internal system?). Just wanted to confirm if that's normal!

You have to upload it. The instructions say to add it to your portal and then email them letting them know you've added it.

Hope it'll be alright? May email them to confirm.
 
I would just upload your update to the portal to be safe. There's slightly different wording in the FAQ section in regards to updates on the secondary portal site where they request both the upload and email. Either way, it seems fine to me.
 
is there any idea to when the 2nd wave of As would be rolling out?
 
98% sure it's this Friday starting in the afternoon. As you posted this comment I was scouring past years' Vandy threads since I'm a neurotic November interviewee and this is my top choice by far -- Final A wave is exactly 2 weeks after but has far less As than the wave coming this Friday
 
Does Vandy also give merit aid during this upcoming wave or do they usually only distribute it during the first wave?

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

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
