be ready to wait 5-6 months. timeliness isn't at the forefront of these processes.
No ill will towards Vandy bc I’m about to submit my seat deposit somewhere else, but oh my gosh they are taking forever. I’m honestly just curious at this point. Not dying to go, but I applied for a reason, and I just want to know
