its been optional since the application opened therefore its diff from loci as loci is for ghosting/waitlist

Just in case you missed it: someone called Vandy today about when the next A wave would be and they said they release As once a month and expect to release the next wave either this week or next week!

Was is really a feeler email? The wording has me questioning it. Also, did anyone get a confirmation they completed the survey?
@AbsurdClammyToddler I'm below both medians and applied late nov. and I still haven't heard back.
be ready to wait 5-6 months. timeliness isn't at the forefront of these processes.
