<p>Does anybody know if vandy has any programs for low income minority students? I'm thinking of applying(transfer) in fall for fall '09. My college gpa currently a 3.5, 32 ACT and I'm taking classes at Vandy this summer (chem and bio) I'm pre-med. I'm also thinking about taking classes there during fall if I can afford it as a DUS student. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>oh, also I'ma first generation college student, do they look at that??</p>
<p>don't think thy have any specific program, but I do know that Vandy is aggressively trying to attract more minorities, with the exception of Blacks.</p>
<p>Why with the exception of blacks, how about native americans?</p>
<p>Because Vanderbilt already has tons of blacks. Every minority except for blacks have about a 9% chance of not getting in I guess the reason it's so easy is because lots of the recruited ones think the student body is too racist and go somewhere else.</p>
<p>Can you put that in regular English what you are trying to say? </p>
<p>Are you saying that the black quota is full and if you are anything but black you have a 91% chance of getting in?</p>
<p>haha, thats what it sounds like..</p>
<p>bball, take "not getting in", put it into Word or something like that, and replace it with a synonym "being denied". Good luck on AP English hoss.</p>
<p>If you took AP English it sure didn't teach you how to communcate very well. My English teacher always said, "say what you mean and mean what you say." Unfortunately you are coming accross a bit on the racist side and I know you don't want anyone out here to think that the famous or infamous Palmettobug is racist now do you? So, I will give you another try. WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! Hoss!</p>
<p>To sailorjerry: Vanderbilt will give you money if you qualify both academically and in need. They are also very keen on diversity but you stilll need to possess the academic chops. As far as specific programs for URM's you should contact the school they are very open and honest about stuff.</p>
<p>That's funny, my English teacher always said "Lee, the Atlanta Braves are a bunch of glorified minor leaguers". I agree.</p>
<p>Not to worry there are plenty of programs out there for you too.</p>
