<p>and other members of the Vanderbilt community:</p>
<p>In an earlier thread, I made some critical remarks about Vanderbilt. While I still stand by much of what I said, I really regret my tone of voice. I sincerely wish that no one took too much offense.</p>
<p>Good luck to the prospective students this coming week!</p>
<p>FWIW, hilsa, you are no "bottom feeder"! (Poor choice of words.) Hope you get in, honestly.</p>
<p>I have found myself apologizing for my 'tone of voice' on two occasions on CC, so I am no stranger to forgetting that manners and consideration for others are as important on the internet as in person. Thank you for the apology.</p>
