Not with full tuition. Two completely different schools, culturally, though. Does fit matter? |
NP--I'm surprised by this statement too. Vanderbilt has really come up in the rankings over the last couple of decades, and I would have assumed it's generally considered more prestigious than UVA. |
It's.in.the.first.sentence. Holy cow. |
What is? In-state? No. The OP says they got into UVA Echols - that could be instate or OOS and Echols doesn't come with any money. So if instate, UVA would be $32 a year. OOS would be about $65K or equivalent to Vandy. Full tuition at Vanderbilt means only that = tuition, not room and board, travel and other expenses. "Full ride" means everything. "full tuition" means tuition only. |
Yes, full tuition is $44K/year so that'd come out to be about $22K for Vandy. What on Earth does $73K have to do with anything? |
Be careful, OP. I'm guessing that some schools may know about this site and can connect the dots to figure out who you are. |
Vanderbilt. I don't see how this is a question. |
And do.. what? |
What in the world are you talking about? |
It's not unheard for a school to rescind an offer. |
#14 (Vandy) vs. #25 (UVA) This isn’t a real big difference for those who care about this. You should care about the department more tha. This. Also, if the scholarship requires you to keep a certain GPA. Other than that, go with your gut. |
For what? Asking advice on which school he should go to? I'm sorry, but LOL. |
Vanderbilt is an excellent school.

Depends on whether the extra cost of attending one of the ivies or ivy-equivalents on your list would make a big difference in your family budget and your grad school plans, if any. Do you expect any need-based aid from the ivies et. al?
I would have a hard time turning down Harvard, Princeton, Columbia , Duke or Chicago for either Vandy or UVa, unless the extra cost was too much and would impact my budget substantially. In other words i wouldn't choose those two over the elites just to save money if i didn't actually need to save that money. Might consider full-ride at Vandy over Hopkins though. Between Vandy and UVa, I think you should just choose based on fit and cost. The schools are not that different in terms of prestige and quality. Given that Vandy is full ride i would go with that over UVA. |
Sure but not really on par with the ivies and ivy-equivalents (Stanford, MIT, Caltech, Chicago, Duke). Not quite on par with even Hopkins or NU. |
