not sharing a huge revelation, but this school needs to be an ED approach if you want a reasonable shot with perfect app



Barely anyone got in ED either.


Yep. Our school was like 0/8 in ED.

Most t30 schools fill their class ED. Why would you expect your kid to get in RD?

This doesn’t surprise me. RD acceptance rates are all <10% at these types of schools with how many they take ED. Even if top privates have higher acceptance rates in RD round - I don’t think they’re more than double the general rate. So a 5% becomes like a 10% and 90% aren’t getting in. At least that’s my take.

Where are you getting the idea my student applied RD? My student applied ED1 and was rejected. Not a single acceptance among 8 privates in our city ED (not DC) which is not typical. I think Vandy wasn’t looking to the private schools as much this year for admissions.

I don't mean to miss the point here, but, how do you know the acceptance statistics for eight different high schools?

Looks like lots of WL - anyone rejected or accepted? If so please post stats

Because my senior has friends at all of them and they all have active senior Instagram pages. She also plays a sport that Vandy typically recruits for in our area, and they did not take anyone for that either.

First and foremost, I don’t know you or who you are talking about, but it’s really crappy of you to be calling another kid crappy. How would you feel if someone called your kid crappy. And how do you know anything about this kid you say is crappy? From your own crappy kid?
Second, Vanderbilt admits to different schools. The kids who get in to the education or music school will likely have lower stats than kids who get into engineering, for example.
And my kid did not apply to Vanderbilt so I have no skin in the game.
