[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is really torn between Penn and Vandy.  Vandy ED1 is so much easier than Penn.  [/quote]

My smart, social, and nonpolitcal kid was also deciding between Vanderbilt and Penn for ED1. Loved both schools but initially thought vandy might be more fun. Probably bc of their football team success last year. Check your school specific data.  Our private hs had more predictable placement at penn vs vandy so our kid applied to PennED -- and was accepted. If that didnt work, they would have applied ed2 to vandy but we heard that is super competitive. Early days, but kid at penn is very happy. Very busy academically and socially... classes are good and plenty of fun. Friends at vandy working hard and also happy. My kid is very thoughtful and engaged - the kind of kid who is more interested in learning, discussion, and making new friends vs performative protests. Penn isnt politically neutral but student body is pretty social and preprofessional. Protests are not a priority at penn. Most ignore it.  Vandy is very popular these days. Kids see it as a great balance of academics, social, and sports. Plus, more mild winters vs the north. [/quote]
