<p>trolllllll</p>

<p>Excuse me?</p>

<p>I believe he said, “trolllllll.”</p>

<p>Yes! Fortunately I am literate. I believe this a good skill to have if I were going to be applying to this school…wouldn’t you agree?</p>

<p>Vanderbilt has to have a program that’s less competitive than their others. (less people apply to hint hint…)</p>

<p>College of Arts and Science: 17%
Engineering School: 22%
Peabody College: 18%
Blair School of Music: 28%</p>

<p>Btw back in 2003 Vanderbilt’s acceptance rate was 40% and Engineering School’s acceptance rate was 55%. It’s ridiculous how much these acceptance rates could change in a matter of 7 years (2011 data isn’t out yet).</p>

<p>That’s exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!</p>

<p>Just because the RATE is higher, doesn’t mean it’s easier to get in to, does it? Isn’t it possible that the school of engineering could have an average SAT score of 1500 and accept 22% of applicants while the school of A&S have an average SAT score of 1460 but only accept 17%?</p>

<p>No, a higher percentage rate does not mean it’s oeasier to get into. </p>

<p>Plus, Vanderbilt is one of those schools were looking at data from even 2009 isn’t going to be very helpful, and 2003 certainly isn’t. In 2003, Vanderbilt has 10,000 applicants and a 40% acceptance rate… In 2011, there were 24,000 applicants and a 16% admission rate. Things have changed a lot around here.</p>

<p>It’s not really a good idea to apply to Peabody/Blair if you have no interest in pursuing a major there. You’ll get rejected by Blair anyway, and you don’t want to end up taking useless Peabody courses freshman year when you really wanted a major in A&S/Engineering.</p>

<p>Would you say it’s easier to get in to A&S or ENG? I am pretty torn between biomedical engineering and biochemistry</p>

<p>Again, it’s not necessarily easier to get in to A&S or Engineering. However, I have been told that it is easier to switch out of the engineering school than into, though that is more from the university stand point. Classes are very fluid in the sense that you can take classes in all schools, so really, you shouldn’t worry about which school to apply to. </p>

<p>My room mate is currently an a&s student taking the engineering load, while im an engineering student taking A&S classes.</p>
