My son has been wait-listed. What are the financial aid ramifications with that scenario?
March 31st, 2008
If a student is admitted off of the waitlist, we will provide the same financial aid package as if the student was admitted during the regular process. In other words, there is no financial “penalty” or reduction in package due to a student being admitted off of the waitlist if and when that happens.

Brad:
Thanks for answering the inquiry regarding financial aid as it applies to waitlisted students. As parents, we had the very same question, but the first poster beat us to the punch in asking. As you might imagine, this is of absolute importance as waitlisted students (and the parents who write the checks) decide whether or not to send in the proverbial “nonrefundable” deposits to other schools while hoping for the Vandy Admissions staff to make that one phone call. We want to again extend our thanks to the Vandy Admissions and Fin Aid staffs for being so open with these procedural questions and responses. Vandy has made the process as smooth as can be expected for those of us who are parents of waitlisted students. Feel free to have Admissions call and offer our daughter a spot in the Class of 2012!
