[ /list][ b]Subjective:[ /b][ list]
[<em>] Essays: Excellent. I thought they were the highlight of my application - Common App was a synthesis of morality vs. artistic expression during a theatre production I was in, and my Cornelius Scholarship application described my overall passion for music and how I would fit in to the Vanderbilt community (I was not a Cornelius recipient)
[</em>] Teacher Recs: Didn't read, but I chose teachers that like me
[<em>] Counselor Rec: Same as above
[</em>] Hook (if any): I was born in Franklin just south of Nashville and lived there the first 9 years of my life, and I remember visiting Vanderbilt and going to football games and stuff...I mentioned that in my application but I have no other connection to the school (no legacies or anything)

[<em>] Ethnicity: White
[</em>] Gender: Male
[<em>] major strength/weakness: Strength: Essays, test scores Weakness: G.P.A, my music audition possibly
[</em>] why you think you were accepted/rejected/defered: Since my acceptance letter says I was accepted to Arts and Sciences (which was my alternate school choice), I think that means I was rejected from Blair (which was my first choice)...nonetheless I felt I presented myself as a very well-rounded applicant who's passionate about a couple of areas (I emphasized music and foreign languages specifically) and loves to learn.
[li] going to attend? Very high on my list - I applied for financial aid, but they didn't give me a financial aid package?! Will it come later?[/li][/ul]General Comments: Congratulations to everyone who got accepted, this is so exciting! Ahh VANDY!! To those who were rejected/waitlisted, keep your hopes up, you are amazing in every way simply by applying to a top 20 school, honestly you all deserve the best and I wish you the very best of luck!</p>
