With acceptance/waitlist notifications coming soon I wanted to provide information to the waitlisted students because Vanderbilt’s waitlist notifications have typically omitted this data: in 2014 Vanderbilt waitlisted 4,536 students and accepted 210 students off the waitlist. You can find the waitlist data for most any school by searching the school’s website for their “Common Data Set.” Vanderbilt wiped their waitlist data from their Common Data Set after Washington Post journalist Nick Anderson’s 4/16/16 article “Top colleges put thousands of applicants in wait-list limbo, and some won’t admit any” but the Vanderbilt data is still available in Mr. Anderson’s article.
Best of luck to all applicants as you make your informed decisions!
