<p>My twin sister (I'm a guy) just got notification of a full ride... I was wondering how this affects my chances at the school (I also applied, but not for the scholarship, just normal admission)... </p>
<p>I have a considerably lower GPA than her in the same courseload, and an SAT and ACT a few solid point above hers (1520 vs 1550 outta 1600, (34 or 35) vs 36)...</p>
<p>So whadya guys think?</p>
<p>Wow you have a genius family.</p>
<p>what does the acceptance email look like?</p>
<p>I didn't really see it... It was long though, and said congratulations a lot...</p>
<p>Congratulations! The Office of Undergraduate Admissions has approved your application for admission to the freshman class entering Vanderbilt University in the fall of 2009. Although we will mail your official admission packet by April 1, we are notifying you now because you have been selected as a Cornelius Vanderbilt scholarship recipient. You are among a most select group of Vanderbilt applicants ― in fact, less than 1% of freshman applicants were selected to receive this prestigious scholarship. As a Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholar, you will receive a full tuition scholarship for four years, plus a stipend to be used for summer study abroad or research investigation. If you apply for need-based financial aid and your demonstrated need is greater than the amount of your merit scholarship, you will receive additional grant assistance to meet 100% of your demonstrated need. Finally, Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholars have the opportunity to participate in a series of programs designed especially for highly talented students.</p>

<p>Arthur Overholser, Senior Associate Dean of the School of Engineering, will send a more detailed letter about your Cornelius Vanderbilt award in the coming days. Please feel free to contact Brent Tener (xxxxx), Director of Undergraduate Scholarships if you have questions about your award or about Vanderbilt. We look forward to answering your questions and to welcoming you to campus next fall as a Cornelius Vanderbilt Scholar.</p>
