If you applied ED and were accepted with the financial aid that you had expected, you must withdraw from other schools. You cannot shop. It is considered very bad faith, it likely will impact your school in future years, and if Vanderbilt becomes aware they are not going to be happy (they theoretically could pull your acceptance since you aren’t abiding by your contract, but that would be an extreme measure).

The only time you would be able to continue waiting on other schools is if Vandy’s financial aid does not match your expected number. This would be either very rare since Vandy is amongst the best at providing needed aid, or would mean there was an issue with your application (which Vandy will likely address and fix if necessary).

Not pulling applications is the height of selfishness for anyone who does not have aid issues, and is a bad and embarrasing look.
