<p>William Shain, Dean of Admissions, gave a class profile for entering freshmen last weekend as part of the Chancellor's Welcome Reception for parents. I believe he said last year's overall acceptance rate was 35.1%. When you consider that the ED acceptance rate was slightly over 50%, that means the RD rate is getting rather low these days. I'd say your chances ED are quite good; so if you know Vandy is the place for you, ED is the way to go. You look like a strong applicant for that round. In fact, you might well be a candidate for the Ingram Scholarships. I think those are the ones based on community service.</p>
