Amazing video, life changing!

Awesome video! Super helpful. Thank you
This is such wonderful information! Did this strategy work to get you off the wait list at any of the other colleges?

Thank you I’m glad it was helpful! After I got into vandy, I pulled out from other colleges
What do I do if I got a waitlist notification after 2 weeks of submitting my application? Unsure how I can chock up “new achievements” in that span of time :(
Congratulations Jackie! By the way just wondering did you get acceptance from Cornell?
Just got waitlisted at Vanderbilt 2 hours ago

I just got waitlisted at Vanderbilt yesterday.
Would this work if you were to apply somewhere Early Decision, yet still get waitlisted?
Jackie, did the admission officer replied your email or reached out to you in any way?
Thank you so much Jackie for this video, so helpful. Would you kindly tell me what you wrote as the Subject of this mail?
Very helpful video! What was your first sentence in your continued interest letter to Harvard?
Do you have any tips/suggestions for a student's junior year of HIGH SCHOOL? :)
How do you recommend formatting the request for an additional recommendation from your interviewer?

I would just explain your situation to them and say that you connected with them and think Vanderbilt would really value another recommendation coming from them!
Hi! Thank you for the video. The video was so enlightening!. I have been waitlisted at Carnegie Mellon and they asked me to share any updates or information I want to share with them. I have drafted an update and I was wondering if you could take a look at it. Would you please look at it? It would really mean a lot to me. BU
For sending in additional letters of recommendation, what is the best place to send them? Should the recommender email admissions or submit it through CommonApp?

Once you know who your admissions counselor is, how do you find their email?
Does Vanderbilt offer interviews? The website says no

Most schools either call you to let you know or send you an email. Just make sure you answer unknown numbers and regularly check your email lol, good luck!!

This just happened to me, how long did it take for you to get your decision?
Did you send an email AND a letter of continued interest?
Hey thanks for the video. I was wondering that if they review our new letters/emails in may, should I send my letter closer to may or is it alright if I send it earlier like now in march, thanks :)

Hey! Since a lot more people are being placed on the waitlist this year (due to Covid) I definitely recommend sending an initial letter now! And then continue to send them information throughout the months on any updated information you can give. By doing so, you remind the admission officer who you are and potentially convince them to admit you :) I hope this helps

Can’t you just say you will 100% attend the school if taken off the waitlist at every school you’ve been waitlisted at?

I’ve heard stories of schools discovering students doing that and it costing them their acceptance. These schools are allowed to communicate with each other & they sometimes do. I didn’t want to risk it, and it paid off to go all in with just Vandy!
