“Honestly, it's tough to get inFeb 22 2007Economics
Honestly, it's tough to get in. No matter how much of a shoe-in you think you are, there's never a guarantee. Vanderbilt is becoming such a popular school that admissions has the ability to take whoever they want due to the strength of each applicant pool. Being a legacy helps, as does having a sibling who attended or attends. But I think the main thing Vanderbilt looks for is outside of the SAT and GPA, although those are definitely important. I think admissions searchs for students who will thrive here; that is, they look for students who have already shown strength in both their academic and social lives.

good grades, good SAT's, the usual, but also, diversity REALLY helps--beware though--that once you are here it is pretty segregated socially

“I gave that school two years and then INov 01 2006Business - Management and Administration
I gave that school two years and then I got out and I am glad I did. I made some good friends, but overall the people were really shallow and typical. No one seemed to really care about what they were learning, only about the grades. I would also never recommend the school to anyone black or jewish. Vandy is trying to get more diverse, but the old prejudices are all still there. I am at a smaller, more intellectual school now and feel I am getting SUCH a better education.

After not getting accepted as a freshman, I attended another university and built up my grades. I found it much easier to transfer in, considering I had already proven myself in a college academic environment. Plus, perseverance cannot hurt. I also was able to write more polished essays than before.
