Got the WL yesterday. Bummed thought I had a solid chance with 4.1 and 166. Still hoping. Still have a few more to hear from. Not feeling optimistic at this point in cycle.
13:41

what is "written letter of interest" for vandy? how is that diff from LOCI and is it fine to send that before hearing back
its been optional since the application opened therefore its diff from loci as loci is for ghosting/waitlist
also should i submit the video essay? do we feel like theres any decisions coming soon??
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!
