Tell us what's important to you
looks like a lot of nov apps r hearing from vandy rn
Vandy doing WL waves in succession by month. December applicants get WL tomorrow.
do we think that means big R wave coming soon?
Maybe after they're done handing out WL based on month applied
I'm getting WL tomorrow lol
i applied ED and got sent to RD and still haven't heard anything... looks like I will be catching an R soon
might be different for you then
@Kerfuffleuffelous: unironically if they fail to get me a decision before April 1st I am demanding my money back for the application fee
Genuinely curious what the point of me applying early was if it means I get tortured for 5 months whereas I've already heard from other institutions with arguably more applicants in substantially less time
21:14
If I missed the Nov WL wave does that mean an R?
@Mimosas-law: either A or R
Check spam tho, someone yesterday said the email went to their spam inbox

I too have missed all the waves so far, nothing in spam either
What time of day are the decisions typically released?
is today december WL wave?
MedicalSuperNibbler
11:19
if anything it's a late november wave i think, they only got through half of november yesterday
MedicalSuperNibbler
11:19
which is me :)
DefiantPlantBison
11:33
Are they for sure done w As?
I feel like there may be one more bc I haven't really seen a lot of later applicant As
SimonTWill
14:30
How do they notify? Email?
DefiantPlantBison
14:48
Ya email I believe
18:09
another day another WL wave
when is vandy's deposit due
10:14
@JumpyOceanicBernard: i agree unless they're just not accepting people who applied after jan
@JumpyOceanicBernard: yeah that sounds right now. I was sure I was gonna be waitlisted but I missed yesterday’s December wl
But I’m ready to be rejected lmao
13:19
I missed late Nov/early Dec wl wave... praying for another round of As but I don't know how likely that is now :/
Hardly any Rs so far so I'm betting the next set of waves is R waves
22:02
When do we think the first R wave will be
18:05
Just got my WL from vandy lol. Early nov
