Hey guys, current first year here! Congrats to all of you that got in, and I want to give hope to the wait listed students! I was pulled off the wait list last summer just as I was planning to attend my local technical college, because I couldn’t afford the only other school who ended up accepting me. I had an application filled out and everything!

Definitely make sure to follow up on every chance Vandy gives you to say that you’re still interested ASAP! Also, if you interviewed and it went well (especially if you emailed afterwards to thank your interviewer for his/her time, which I certainly hope everyone did), definitely let them know you’re decision! I won’t say that my interviewer having friends in admissions helped, as I don’t really know, but she did put in an extra word in my favor, and here I am; take that for what you will.

As for the rejected students, definitely don’t take it to heart! The Vanderbilt community is missing out on you, not the other way around!
