<p>about 5-7k kids, weather relatively unimportant, good prestige, stellar academics, social, hot girls...Is Vandy the only school like this? I'm a transfer student and Vandy is my reach/match, was wondering if there were other schools like it! Thanks for your time. BTW gpa is 3.6 hard schedule working full-time job, amazing creative essay. THX</p>
<p>Emory, Northwestern</p>
<p>Emory? idk....I hear emory and vandy getting compared a lot.</p>
<p>Duke and Northwestern are probably the closest in terms of size, academics, and social atmosphere. Wake Forest is pretty similar too.
I don't know too much about Emory, but I think its a bit less social-oriented than Vandy though.</p>
<p>"I don't know too much about Emory"</p>
<p>-It seems nobody does..... :rolleyes:</p>
<h2>EMORY is NOTHING like Vanderbilt. </h2>

Princeton
Duke
Dartmouth
Georgetown
UPenn</p>
<p>If you are looking for southern schools with a good party scene:

Washington & Lee
Wake Forest</p>
<p>If you are looking for hot girls, D-1 sports, and good academics:
Boston College
University of Southern California
University of North Carolina
UT-Austin
UFlorida
UGeorgia</p>
<p>If you want the tightly knit community, preppy:
Middlebury (They also have very good looking girls)
Colgate
Trinity (CT)</p>
<p>to answer your question, vanderbilt pretty much is the only school like this. the only school that really comes close in terms of the integration of prestige,social life, community, sports, etc... might be usc, but it's also very different.</p>
<p>sometimes i have nightmares about having not chosen vanderbilt</p>

<p>Boston College is very similar. Division 1 sports, amazingly good looking women</p>
