<p>Vandy does have a low diversity percentage, but theyre working really hard to increase it. All of TNs smartest students use it as a safety, so a lot of smart people, regardless of race go there. There are a lot of Asians, black folks, and of course, white people there. I would definitely not keep race in mind when considering Vandy. It's a great school and there'll be diversity if you want it.</p>
<p>thanks a bunch. i've heard most of that stuff too. do you go to vandy?
i'd love to go there. it's a great school, they accept more than 1/2 the kids that apply there from my school every year, and my best girl friend in my grade above me is going lol</p>
<p>No, I'm a rising senior. Vandy is on my list of schools too. My school sends a lot of people to Vandy, so I kinda know the whole scene there.</p>
<p>ah yes. interesting indeed. most guys in my school at the past have used vandy as a safety too (14 got in this year and only 4 are going). i think w/ my URM status, i'll probably do the same.</p>
<p>people on the penn forum are telling me "you're in" and "you have no need to be nervous", but everybody here is saying "reach" to "super reach". what's the deal?</p>

<p>come on guys. honest opinions. i know there's more of you out there.</p>
<p>You should get Aid at most of them. The ones I feel will give u a great pacge will be:
WashU, Miami, Boston College.
Those three, if ur app is really strong with essays, reference letters etc..</p>
<p>please refer to post 1.</p>
<p>i just got a 790 MathII and 740Spanish. Does that change anything for anybody?</p>
<p>people please! i'm desperate here.</p>
<p>You beat me on Math IIC, and you were in Hand. How embarassing. What did you get in Chem, or whatever 3rd one you took?</p>
<p>haha how embarassing. you actually had a math teacher. refer to the northwestern thread for my SATII scores.</p>
<p>ur race will give u a slight edge on ur top choices, but its all luck and essays now..</p>
<p>ok so i'm thinking about applying ED to Northwestern. How much will this improve my odds and do you think i'll get in?
the rest of my list is
Penn
Duke
WashU
Harvard
Cornell
Vandy
BC
UNC
high reach, low reach, match, safety rankings would be much appreciated.</p>
<p>all are basically fits except princeton and harvard. why do u have the same stats as token89?</p>
