[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sewanee probably receives way fewer applications than a school like Vanderbilt. It is by its nature a place fewer students will apply to because it is a smaller school, college only (no grad programs like Vandy), it is lesser known -- Vanderbilt has a bigger national reputation, and it is geographically isolated -- not in a city like Nashville that would draw more people in by itself. So comparing admissions stats to Vanderbilt is really not indicative of very much. They are two totally different schools. But [b]if your only concern is that your child attend a school that admits a small percentage of applicants, and not so much what the actual experience will be like once he or she gets there, then keep focusing on those admissions stats. [/b]Most people at Sewanee would find that obnoxious anyway.  [/quote]

Well this is kinda unfair (and ill-informed). Princeton review has Vandy at #2 in happiest students. So I guess the students think their "actual experience" is quite good.  Sewanee isn't listed.  Go ahead ... tell me you know some kids that got into Vandy but chose Sewanee. I'm sure there must be at least one or two of those out there.[/quote]
