No decision today…
I guess I will add to the math from earlier - particularly the comments on how many students still waiting should expect to be accepted/denied. I do want to note that this is only speculation using past years as examples and the process is only getting more competitive So here goes:
In 2015, 1308 students applied and 419 were accepted. That is an acceptance rate of 32% - So assuming the numbers are similar this year, and 140 (*I took this number from the previous comments) have already been accepted, 279 out of the remaining 1168 applicants can expect acceptances. This means about 24% will be accepted (and therefore 76% of the remaining will be rejected/waitlisted)
However, one website I found says in 2012, 1385 students applied and only 362 were accepted. This is an acceptance rate of about 26% - So assuming these numbers are similar to this year, and 140* have been accepted, 222 out of the remaining 1245 applicants can expect acceptances. This means less than 18% will be accepted (and therefore more than 82% will be rejected/waitlisted).
So the whole argument about whether there can be another wave of all accepted students or if 85% (although 95% seems high) of waiting applicants will be accepted is pointless because they can both be true. So people saying @newyorkgs 's estimations conflict with other statements aren’t necessarily right.
Furthermore, no one actually knows what the numbers will be this year. Most likely the estimations using 2015 data are higher than in reality because acceptance rates have generally been declining (I think). But like I said, no one knows.
Best of luck to everyone still waiting and congratulations to those already accepted!
**I apologize if my math is incorrect. I have attached the links to the websites I consulted below (idk if they’re reliable or not):

hey guys im accepted 1st round pretty sure they r just accepting after they see how many people enroll by may 2
also isnt vandys transfer rate 95-100%?
transfer rate as in how many applicants who apply get accepted? It’s closer to 28-30%
Do you guys think they’ll be a wave of decisions sometime this week or are they just gonna wait until May
until may
Yeah I think May 2nd is the next date
I talked to my admissions counselor today, and it doesn’t seem like she’s reviewed my application yet. Do you guys think it’s still possible to get a decision next week? Would it be inappropriate to ask her?
@michieee I don’t think asking your admissions counselor that would be a big deal if it would relieve a significant amount of anxiety for you, as long as you don’t badger them about it consistently.
While unlikely, it might even draw more focus to your app.
Did someone say they had already called about an extension for the deposit deadline, and gotten a definite “no your spot will not be secure after May 2?”
@usualhopeful I remember reading that yes.
@Mastodon97 That’s what I thought 
Do we need to submit on May 1, or by the end of the day May 2? Emory isn’t releasing decisions until May 2 so it will be kind of tight either way.
@usualhopeful When there is a deadline it usually means that is the last day, so probably end of day on May 2nd.
Also, has anyone got their deposit fee waived?
Did we ever figure out if the $400 binds you to attend?
@bradthegrad2019 It does not, but you will not get the money back.
The 400 dollars will go to your billing portal–in other words, if you enroll eventually, it can be used to pay for your tuition. But if you choose to go to another school, you cannot have it back.
@usualhopeful @PsychPRC Thanks guys
I think you guys are severely underestimating the amount of people who got in that didn’t join the Facebook group
Keep in mind that when someone is accepted off the waiting list, they may decline the offer. They will move on and select another. This could repeat itself many times over. They could offer acceptance to 10 people. One person might accept the offer and put down a deposit. The school will report just one person being selected from the wait list when in fact 10 people were offered a spot. So when stats look bleak, they may in fact be a bit rosier. Also, after May 1st I believe, no more weight list acceptances are figured in. So when schools report that 4 people were taken off the weight list of 1,000, in actuality, 25 may have been contacted but decline the offer. In the end, only 4 actually enrolled (by May 1st). Another 50 may be accepted after May 1st but will not be reported in the totals. So the stats will show only 4 people being taken off the waitlist of 1,000. Doesn’t tell the real story. Reporting deadline may be June 1st, not sure.
