[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reviving this because we’re looking for more info on Vandy EDII. Keep seeing references to it being a waste etc?

What’s the downside to a strong candidate trying for this if rejected by their first choice REA/EDI at Ivy+ and Vanderbilt is genuinely their second choice?

Also, any stats or insight re kids who got in EDII? Where did they REA/EDI? [/quote]

When we visited Vanderbilt two years ago, during the info session someone asked about ED II and the admissions person said something very close to: "[b]If you're applying EDII, you better be able to tell us you just landed from Mars or have some other reason why you wouldn't have known about us and applied ED I[/b]." It was very off-putting. Don't offer it if students don't have a real shot at being considered. The arrogance of the admissions team was a huge turnoff for our DC, and they took it off their list.

Can you just say "I knew about you but didn't want to come here, but since I got rejected by my top choices here I am"?  Maybe they would appreciate the honesty?  [/quote]
