[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vandy looks for kids who are smart, social, service-minded, collaborative, polished, pre-professional. Vandy is not looking for kids who are edgy (Columbia, Brown, Chicago). Vandy looks for kids who are more leadership-forward (Penn, Duke, WashU, Georgetown). StuCo president, club founder, researcher, varsity captain. Vandy is not looking for pure intellectualism (Chicago, Williams). Vandy looks for well rounded kids. [/quote] +1. Smart, social and preprof is a good descriptor. There is definitely a 'type'. I'll add that vandy also attracts a lot of private school school wealthy kids in our area - and many apply test optional (50% of admitted kids don't submit scores). The school overlap mentioned is accurate- my kid liked vandy a lot and also applied to those other schools mentioned (duke, penn, georgetown, etc). [/quote]
