<p>does anyone know the percentage admitted this year? just curious!</p>
<p>I thought it was between 30 and 33%. I can't remember, but it was probably closer to 33.</p>
<p>I believe it was 33% last year and 32% this year based on same no. of admits vs increased no. of this year apps.</p>
<p>I went to the open house yesterday and the associate dean said that it was 28.5% for the College of Arts and Sciences this year.</p>
<p>From the open house it was</p>
<p>32% (could have been 33%) for the university
28.5% A&S
31 average ACT
was it 1440 avg SAT?
9/10 of students were in top 10%</p>
<p>PS for those of you that attended the open house, how did you enjoy it? I found the campus beautiful- I had almost chosen CU Honors before, but now I am leaning Vandy.</p>
<p>Actually, I am still in Nashville through tomorrow, so is there something that I should see/do at the university or town before I leave?</p>
<p>Also, is anybody considering the ROTC program- it is scarry, but I might, and I just wanted to feel what your thoughts were about it</p>
<p>I would recommend sitting in a class and talk to the professor after/before then meet with the dean or head recruiter for your potential school's major. We did that and learned a ton of information. Also visit downtown around 2nd Ave lots of things to do there. Eat at restaurants around campus, you can catch alot of students there and pick their brains.</p>
<p>A little snooping around got me the following:</p>
<p>Overall undergraduate numbers (the numbers you see when you use those rankings sites that you care oh so much about):
32.48% admission rate (meaning 32%)
Middle 50% SAT: 1340-1510</p>
<p>Arts & Sciences statistics (the kids that you'll be around for the most part):
28.49% acceptance rate (meaning 28%)
31 average SAT / 1407 average SAT
90.1% of students in the top 10% of class</p>
<p>The open house was amazing.</p>
<p>Go to Vandy if you were accepted. Let's make that yield high this year (from the looks of things it should be at least 45% [translation for ranking-obsessed = higher ranking probably]).</p>
<p>One of the greatest things one was meant to take away from the open house is the fact that Vandy is a top-flight research institution that at the same time does not serve the needs of the college rankings community but that of the students (i.e. the $150M investment in the undergraduate "commons" as opposed to throwing that money into Grad school research).</p>
<p>does anyone know these stats for the peabody and blair colleges?</p>
<p>Hello All,</p>
<p>Brad here. Once again congratulations to all who were admitted. This year our applicant pool was particularly strong. </p>
<p>I want to encourage all of you to look beyond the numbers and the rankings, not just because each institution has interesting and unique qualities, but because admissions offices look beyond YOUR rank in class, testing, and GPA when we go through the selections process. Y'all are more than numbers to us, and we hope that the same is true in reverse.</p>
<p>Still, we know it matters. So here they are:</p>
<p>ADMIT RATE</p>
<p>A&S 28.44%
BLAIR 40.65% *
ENG 44.72% * </p>
<h2>PEA 46.50% *</h2>
<p>AVG 32.48%</p>
<p>TEST SCORES MID 50% RANGES</p>
<p>A&S 1360-1510/31-33
BLAIR 1280-1470/29-33
ENG 1360-1510/31-34
PEA 1270-1410/28-32</p>
<p>*Just like each applicant, there are stories behind the numbers. You will notice that it appears "easier" to get into Engineering, Blair and Peabody. This is not at all true. The applicant pools for our three professional schools are highly self selecting. For instance, the 40.65% of admitted Blair students are all gifted musicians who qualified through an audition. Not an easy task by any measure. </p>
<p>We (the entire Vanderbilt community) are genuinely looking forward to welcoming the new class. Best wishes with your selections. </p>
<p>Go 'Dores!
Brad</p>
<p>Dear Brad:
We really appreciate your input on the Vanderbilt board. In several cases you have been able to set the record straight on confusing admissions issues. You're another fine example of Vanderbilt's commitment to the students. Thanks so much.</p>
