I just got an email where I got waitlisted. For Vanderbilt. I am too stunned to speak. Are my chances real?

Congratulations!!! Huge!! Best of luck 🤞 

My own thoughts as a Vandy applicant are that maybe one person gets in off the waitlist—maybe—but that if I were to get a WL slot, I'd 10000% apply next year if no dice.

i wonder how many people they choose to progress?

warning: wild speculation. 

i don't have exact numbers, but last year i went to round 2 then ended up on the waitlist. Looking at draft results from last year, everyone who reported that they got into round 2 also reported an acceptance or waitlist (except 1 person who didn't follow up). I don't wanna get anyones hopes up incorrectly, but I'd suspect that you'd only get declined at this point if there was something keeping you from general acceptance (gpa too low for the grad school, no degree, etc).

I appreciate your wild speculation making me feel better. Since this is my first good news I'm holding on to it for dear life haha.

Not to falsely build any hope for you, but I do wonder if Vanderbilt and other Southern US schools will see higher decline rates from accepted applicants because of the increasingly draconian and anti-humanitarian sociopolitical climate there especially, never mind the country as a whole.
