| Statement 1 | Our Career Management Center offers resources, guidance, and support to students as they navigate their anticipated post-MBA career paths. Examples of popular industry career paths are Consulting, Financial Services, Consumer Products, Healthcare, Human and Organizational Performance, Technology, and beyond. It is noteworthy that many students opt to concurrently explore multiple industry career paths.(200 words maximum). As you contemplate your post-MBA aspirations, share two post-MBA career paths you aim to explore during the Vanderbilt MBA program. Please articulate your rationale and enthusiasm for these choices, and include the skills you have developed that will help you achieve your career goals. | ||
| Statement 2 | We are genuinely interested in getting to know you and recognize that your identity extends beyond the confines of this application's structured questions. Please highlight something about yourself that isn't already captured in the application. This highlight statement is an opportunity for you to provide context and depth to something that is important or meaningful to you.(200 words) | ||
| Statement 3 | You may provide an additional statement to briefly explain anything that is not already addressed elsewhere in your application. This could include employment gaps, lack of recommendation from your current or most recent supervisor, violations of the law, academic misconduct, sub-par academic performance, or anything else that is relevant to your application. Bullet points are acceptable for this statement when appropriate. | ||
| Video Response | The video response is a chance for you to provide a glimpse of your authentic self, speaking without a script. The video questions are designed to be easy to answer, “small talk” questions to help us to get to know you. You will have time to prepare your response and the application will provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to record your answers. | ||

A few WL on Reddit /MBA have mentioned calls from Vanderbilt in the last week. I’m assuming they’re starting to burn through the list the closer we get to July 1
Posts: 87
that’s nice, atleast there is some hope
Has anyone received an waitlist update (accepted or dinged) since the Round 5 deadline extension? Has anyone reached out to the admissions team?

I am still on the WL 
literally so anxious over it
I sent them a few updates that I am immediately able to accept and then random awards/conferences I’ve been selected to speak at this fall, but they have been non-responsive to everything since early May so not really clear on what else I should do - like do I just plan to live my life as-is for the fall as if I am not moving across the country?

International students can officially give up, I think.
At this point even if you get the admission, it’s very unlikely you’ll get the visa on time
I think it’s mostly the last minute movement on the wait-list if the school thinks that they can boost their class profile a little with the people currently in the US, Which itself is limited.
New cycle has already started, it’s good to start with networking for that now

R1 is like a month or two away for EA schools, you can go for it now.
All that stuff- networking, attending school events, MBA fairs, resume, essay, LOR again. It’s frustrating but easier the second time around
