Does anyone know when Vandy is going to start taking people off its waitlist or any other relevant info??

 

[Legend]

Vandy will review all the waitlisted files shortly after May 15.
They will decide to accept, waitlist or reject people. Everyone will get a letter from them at the end of this month.

The Vanderbilt waitlist is moving. I got a call from the Dean of Admissions just a few minutes ago. I declined, so it should be moving some more soon. Good luck!

I requested the letter to be sent to my school.

Valleygal, did the letter say how many people are on the smaller waitlist?

I haven't gotten a letter, just the acceptance phone call from the Dean.

I got the same letter about the smaller waitlist. Ho hum...what to do?? I liked this school A LOT but I'd pretty much given up on them. I'm almost hoping I dont get in then I wont have to re-plan my life AGAIN.

what the heck does small waitlist mean? is there a big waitlist also?

 

[Doc13]

Do you think you could call them back and tell them to give your acceptance to me? That's Smoke This with an "S", AAMC ID XXX-XX-XXX.

[Smoke This]

[lorarp]

Why do so many people turn Vandy down? I'm new to this board so I apologize if this was already covered somewhere. I'm considering Vandy so I'm curious.

 

[time quaker]

Has anyone actually managed to speak with the director of admissions at Vandy? I keep getting stuck talking to a secretary which is not useful at all.

it is more a personal choice rather than an academic one really...
