Is there any specific format and/or address that waitlisted applicants should use when sending in additional information?
April 5th, 2012
There’s no specified format and our regular address (2305 West End Avenue / Nashville, TN / 37203) will suffice. That being said, in the interest of time, you might consider submitting additional materials via email or fax.

In regards to submitting additional information via email, what is the email address to which the information should be sent?

Do you encourage waitlisted applicants to keep in contact with their admissions counselors?
April 12th, 2012
While you are welcome to contact your admissions counselor, what’s most important is that you indicate your interest in remaining an active candidate via the online Wait List Response form, in addition to responding to every email from our office which asks you to respond regarding the wait list. A short statement of continued interest may also be of use as we consider files in May for possible admission from the wait list.

Have any emails regarding the wait list been sent out yet?
April 16th, 2012
Not as of today, no.
April 25th, 2012
When will emails asking waitlisted applicants to respond be sent out?
April 25th, 2012
An email was sent to students on the wait list today just a short while ago.
April 25th, 2012
Thank you! Will any more similar emails be sent out before waitlist decisions are made? If so, around how many?
April 26th, 2012
It is likely that more emails will be sent, but it’s difficult to predict how many at this point. Please continue to be patient and respond in a timely manner when contacted. If we’ve asked for any additional information from you (i.e. spring semester grades for transfer wait-listed students), please go ahead and submit them when available.

How does being wait-listed affect our housing situation? I read online that housing applications sent in by May 1 get priority, but for wait-listees like myself we will not be able to submit an application by that time. Does this mean I will not be as likely to live in my building of choice?
April 24th, 2012
Hi Carly, we in the Admissions office don’t make housing decisions, so I will direct you to the Office of Housing and Residential Education. Following is a page with that office’s contact information: https://www.vanderbilt.edu/ResEd/main/ohare/contact-us/. Please let us know if we can help with anything else.

I got a letter in the mail telling me I’m on the wait list, but where do I find the Wait List Response Form?
April 24th, 2012
Are you a transfer student? If so, as stated in the letter, you will remain active on the wait list unless you contact the specified email address letting us know that you would like to be removed. You don’t need to submit the Wait List Response Form at this time.

Have any updates been sent via email regarding the waitlist? So far I have only gotten the email that was sent on April 2nd regarding waitlist information and have also responded to the Waitlist Response Form. Also, is it known if any waitlisters will be offered a spot off of the waitlist prior to May 1st? Or will all notifications be sent sometime during May?

An email was sent a little earlier today. And it is possible that we will be able to offer admission to wait list candidates in late April, though we usually do not admit from this group until after May 9.
April 25th, 2012
Vanderbilt is such a great school, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that I’ll be accepted from the waitlist!

Hello, when do we usually receive final decisions after we are put on the waitlist?
May 2nd, 2012
We try to make decisions about the wait list as soon after the national candidate reply date as possible, though it could remain open through July.
May 3rd, 2012
Do you notify those who were accepted off the wait list first or does everyone find out at around the same time?
May 3rd, 2012
Wait list offers go out in waves. We will likely not notify everyone of anything at the same time until the class is full.

For all of those waiting anxiously, Vanderbilt did offer some students acceptance off their wait list today and gave them a week to decide. Congratulations to those admitted. Still waiting…

Watching how my fate would tend . . .”

Yes, the majority of this information is still relevant for the current wait list. If you have specific questions about the wait list process that are not answered in this post, feel free to contact your admissions counselor.
