<p>Be Proud, Very Proud.</p>

<p>Last year’s incoming class was historic. For a year now, the Vanderbilt class of 2012, the first Commons class, was able to boast about being the most diverse, best prepared group of incoming students ever seen at Vanderbilt. After this coming Fall, the class of 2012 will not be able to say that anymore.</p>

<p>In several ways, Vanderbilt’s applicant pool had a breakthrough year in terms of the overall quality, depth of character, diversity, and intellectualism. Some highlights of this amazing applicant pool include:***</p>

<ul>
<li>19,350 applications received, up 16% over last year and setting a new Vanderbilt record.</li>
<li>Vanderbilt’s geographic diversity continues to expand as students from around the United States and overseas consider Vanderbilt an academic destination. This year’s applicants hail from all 50 US States, 13 US Territories and Military Bases, and 97 foreign countries, up from 77 just two years ago.</li>
<li>The exploding growth in the ethnic diversity of Vanderbilt’s applicant pool continued yet again this year, with all underrepresented groups registering double-digit increases in applications over last year:
o African-American: Up 15%
o Asian: Up 20%
o Hispanic: Up 18%
o Native-American: Up 33%
o Other Minority: Up 10%
o International: Up 38%</li>
<li>This year’s applicant pool featured the highest level of academic preparation in Vanderbilt’s history as evidenced by students enrolling in the most demanding curriculum offered at their high school.</li>
<li>Most impressively, our applicant pool set a new standard of engagement and leadership at the high school, community, regional, national, and international level.</li>
</ul>

<p>As a result, our staff had the difficult task of selecting the students who will make up another historically accomplished and diverse incoming class at Vanderbilt.</p>
