<p>Hello everybody. I was wondering, what school is better, vandy or tulane. The reason why I aski is becasue I am interested in both. However, I want to know if i am wasting my time applying to both schools. I was priority candidacy for tulane, but vandy has been mailing me like crazy. plus both schools cost is outrageous. I just need to narrow my list down, and it is between these two. so whyich one is better. Which one do i have more of a shot at. </p>

<p>You will have a MUCH better shot at Tulane (you are in), but Vandy is without a doubt the better school.</p>

<p>Trip that.</p>

<p>do i have a good shot at vanderbilt</p>

<p>from looking at your stats, no you do not have a good shot at vanderbilt...you have a much better chance at getting into tulane but i agree with the other posters that vanderbilt is by far a better school....so unless you have a hook to get into vandy your chances arent that great</p>

<p>Ehhh is there a good place to borrow some money as an international student? I'm discouraged to apply to vandy because I don't have any money... 1370 SAT 3.9 GPA top 10%</p>

<p>beramod, dont steal my thread and use it as yours. if you want my opinion, i think you should shove your stats up your.......</p>

10

<p>wow, gatechboy, i think you need to chill out</p>

11

<p>Its totally worth applying, its a moderate reach though.</p>

12

<p>lol, just kidding. i just wanted to see what the other dude would say</p>

13

<p>good chance at both. Same feelings as others about schools</p>

14

<p>Yeah.. this dude says that unless your black, you have ZERO chance... but you are, arne't you?</p>

15

<p>beramod that was just really f-in stupid</p>

16

<p>vanderbilt is by far a better school but you have a really small chance of getting in.. tulane is still a pretty good school and its within your reach.</p>

17

<p>as an african-american, it really helps you out, Vandy's a reach, but a reasonable one</p>

<p>My stats were a lot better than yours and I was deffered from Tulane. I am a black male from MS with 30 ACT and 3.5 gpa and a rec from a professor and salvation army volunteer of the year. I was a priority applicant for Tulane also. Being black isn't going to help that much unless you have an awesome essay or groundbreaking community service or research up your sleave. You have a shot at Tulane more so than Vandy which is the superior school but don't put Tulane in the safety column.</p>
