[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50% Test optional [/quote]

Do you think my DC’s 35 ACT will help with RD admissions? Or are they rejecting the 1550/35+ kids for TO kids? [/quote]

95 percent of the Vandy ED admits came from the top 10 percent of their classes. Presumably, the other 5 percent were mostly athletes. Vanderbilt is a big sports school these days. I'm not sure why Vandy is still officially TO. They obviously get great students. For RD, it looks like it will be about a 2 percent acceptance rate this year. I don't think test scores are a huge factor one way or another when 98 percent of applicants are rejected.   [/quote]

When people quote these figures, they neglect to mention that MANY high schools do not report class standing (ours certainly doesn't, nor does any other ISAAGNY school). our school also does not report weighted GPA, though Vanderbilt (and many other colleges) recalculate to weighted. and of course there is TO. so when you look at their Class of 2030 data and it looks like everyone was in the top 10%, had a 3.95 GPA, 1550 SAT, that is why. from our school, a 3.6, solid ECs and 1400+ SAT will get you into Vanderbilt ED.[/quote
