As in late march to April 1
joining in this vandy convo. anyone know how full the class is looking? i has a WL interview 2 weeks ago and i’m so anxious haha.
From the way my waitlist interview went it doesn’t seem ~super~ full yet! But who knows haha
19:58
Are there any admitted students who could say how many people are in the 2026 GroupMe? Should be a good way to see how full the class is
^this would be lovely haha
i got off the wl last week and just declined my offer so they prolly aren't full just yet
19:50
@ShadowstrikerNM: did you do a WL interview?
nope i didn’t get an interview just a feeler
20:57
Interesting. Did you send a LOCI?
i sent one back in early may!
13:28
I sent one too. I had a WL interview today. I wonder how they decide who gets interviews and who gets feelers lol
aubreyplaza
21:18
