Expand 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.

Mystic_Sunshine Posted February 17 Posted February 17 (edited) I got my first good news of the season! Moved on to round 2 at Ole Miss. Although, I'm not sure what the chances are of it turning into an acceptance since there aren't as many schools that do phases. but I'm very thankful and excited either way!

Expand 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).

Mr. Scribblo Posted February 17 Posted February 17 hey guys, i can't find creative writing in the program dropdown for ole miss. it's the grad application, and i chose the fall intake, but it feels like i'm missing something--anyone know what to do?
onionstackr Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Hi all, has anyone who has received decisions from IU or UW-Madison had their portals update? I haven’t received any updates on mine.

Expand 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.
