<p>Does anyone know the RD Acceptance rate this year for the College of Arts and Science?</p>
<p>34% .</p>
<p>what about engineering?</p>
<p>We attended the open house for admitted students yesterday and were told the accept rate was 30.25 for Arts and Sciences, and that the average class rank was 4.6</p>
<p>this was posted earlier. who we should trust, open house people or vanderbilt news, i dunno :confused:</p>
<p>PS - I was told by an associate dean that the acceptance rate was "around 30%" and that the average class rank was 3, so it seems like there are different numbers all over the place.</p>
<p>34% is the overall university acceptance rate. CAS and Blair admit smaller percentages than Engineering and Peabody, so it makes sense that CAS's number would be smaller than the overall university's.</p>
<p>really? then it must have went way down. last time I looked it was around 40-50.</p>
<p>The classes who graduated in the late 1990s and early 2000s came in with an acceptance rate of around 60%. The class that came in 2001 and 2002, it was in the mid-40's. For the 2003, it was 39%; last year, it was about 35%. So that's a 30-point drop in less than a decade.</p>
<p>poor us. i feel even worse for class of 06 or 07 or 08. think of how difficult it will be for them. 1600, 4.0, string of ECs, string of varsity letters, stellar essay, stellar recommendations, volunteer... and rejected from all Ivies + S + M + Cal and ends up going to UMich.</p>
<p>don't let Alexandre hear you say that... ;-)</p>
<p>ahh..but I see you're (presumably) a Spartan fan. N/m then.</p>
<p>Funny coincidence -- S was accepted Mich State Honors - U-Michigan Engineering and Vandy. Turned down MSU. Deciding between U-M @ $60k for four yrs vs. Vandy @ $170k for four years. No merit $$ from Vandy. Going this weekend to beg for some $$.</p>
