[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of students today prefer Vanderbilt over some of the Ivy schools. I know mine did. We toured Harvard, Columbia and Penn. And Vandy had a much better vibe. Whatever differences in USNWR rankings since they changed their algorithms is trivial compared to the overall college experience one gets at Vanderbilt. DC applied ED and got in so never had a chance to apply elsewhere, but the other schools that appealed to him were Stanford, Duke and Notre Dame. DC is pretty extroverted and social. Likes sports. And the Ivy schools seemed cold and soulless to him. I also believe this generation of 18 years really values community. They had to experience the covid isolation and the rise of social media. A lot of them want real experiences with real people and Vanderbilt is good with that. A marginal difference in US News rankings is not worth four years of suck. Vandy is generally known as a happy school. That matters a lot for 18 year olds [/quote]
