[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vanderbilt also has an education school which lots of DMV kids do for a much easier shot. Our college counselor recommended this.[/quote]

80k a year to be a fricking k12 teacher? [/quote]

No.  You get in for education and switch majors.  [/quote]

my kid decided against this but this is the advice of college counselors. [/quote]

Vandy parent.  This isn't the hack that you think it is. It's not an easier admit, but they may accept with lower stats.  What's more, the most sought-after degree at Vanderbilt the HOD, which is done within the Peabody (education) school anyway. There's a lot of competition to apply directly to Peabody, because people -want- HOD, and people want HOD because they imagine it gives them an advantage for a consulting offer upon graduation.  There is no biz school, fwiw, so HOD or econ are what's done instead.

The planned admit to education hack definitely won't work for engineering or pre-med or adjacent.

If I were a parent of a junior trying to find a disingenuous workaround, I'd rely instead on the kid's musical prowess. Get admitted into Blair (by tryout and portfolio), then take a bunch of econ or bio or whatever classes in another college and get a dual degree.
