Vanderbilt Cornelius Scholarship - GPA

What’s the lowest GPA you’ve heard of receiving the Cornelius scholarship? I know it’s due on December 1, but I’m still debating on whether or not to apply. I would just apply, but I have a lot of things to do with school and ECs. I could very well make the time to write the essay, but I’d rather spend it working on other things if I basically don’t even have a chance at getting it.

Thanks!

@justliviglife I don’t think it is necessarily based on GPA. My daughter had a 4.0 and 4.8 w and did not receive the CV scholarship. She had a perfect score on her standardized testing. She had outstanding ECs and international awards. There is no formula for the CV scholarship.

It’s worth applying for, because sending in the CV app gets you considered for some other scholarships that don’t fit within the main 3 (CV/chancellor’s/Ingram). As mentioned above, there are no hard GPA cutoffs; it’s really about the application as a whole.

@LvMyKids2 @fdgifg Thank y’all!

GPA is not main consideration for CV, but Vandy is stats heavy school for admissions.
