[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does Vanderbilt really have snob appeal? I grew up in Nashville and 25 years ago Vandy was where the mediocre students in my class went.[/quote] If you look at the data, Vanderbilt has one of the highest percentages of kids with parental income in the 1%. It’s also a school that has a great divide between the % of kids with top income vs. Pell grant kids. As for student quality, it’s hard to objectively claim that Vandy students are mediocre. Your attitudes probably reflect the notion that it was a local school for you, thus not special. Almost all schools - even highly selective ones - admit more heavily from their metro and regional areas than other places. For example, a simple google search reveals that in 2015, 15% of Harvard students were from Massachusetts while the state represented only 2% of the nation’s population. [/quote]
