Re: Calling All Waitlisted Vanderbilt Owen (Class of 2018) Applicants [#permalink]

I'm not sure how active this forum is, but I figured I'd drop my concern here too. I was waitlisted (R2 applicant). Vanderbilt was my top choice this year (tied with emory but dinged), and I have received another update letter regarding my waitlist. The original waitlist has a firm stance "don't contact us, we'll contact you". The second stated that if I have any updates regarding test scores or work experience/awards to please send a detailed message to admissions. I am not taking the gmat again, for better or worse, I had a 210 point increase and am very happy with that, even though it may have hurt my chances a bit. So that leaves me with the work experience/awards. I have not received any awards since applying, but there were some minor awards I did not include in my original application. Anyone have any input on my dilemma? I know I'm throwing a lot out there, but like I said, Vanderbilt was my top choice and the fact that I'm getting a small opportunity I'd like some help on what to do next. Thank you!


My recommendation would be to send a letter (updated) in regardless of whether you had anything new. Just restating your interest in the program should be a enough to warrant an update letter. It just shows you are still actively interested. I've been waitlisted since R1 and have since sent them an update despite not receiving a promotion or retaking the GMAT.

My concern is that I have not even received a second update on my waitlist status. I suppose I'm out of the running now, but I'm still going to send a new update to them.
