[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does Vanderbilt really have snob appeal? I grew up in Nashville and 25 years ago Vandy was where the mediocre students in my class went.[/quote] As for student quality, it’s hard to objectively claim that Vandy students are mediocre. Your attitudes probably reflect the notion that it was a local school for you, thus not special. Almost all schools - even highly selective ones - admit more heavily from their metro and regional areas than other pl. For example, a simple google search reveals that in 2015, 15% of Harvard students were from Massachusetts while the state represented only 2% of the nation’s population. [/quote] I get that A good percentage of Harvard graduates also stay in Massachusetts. Growing up Harvard graduates were everywhere including in my family so it wasn’t as impressive as it should have been. But it was impressive enough that I knew I wasn’t going to get in. [/quote]
