[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As for the talk about Vanderbilt, it’s tough admit shouldn’t be a surprise. It’s a simple combination of great academics, great social scene, great city, and increasingly good sports.  Basically, it’s has it all in a great environment. The recent slippage in the ratings is a shrug. Also, it hadn’t had the political craziness that many elite campuses in the NE have experienced. 
 
Upthread, there was a comparison to Duke. While Duke has a great campus, academics, and basketball team, Durham is terrible and the campus is segregated from the city. Also, while old campus is very collegiate, but the rest of campus feels very corporate. Not a great vibe. [/quote]

It’s astonishing that Vandy has gone from an acceptance rate of 70% 35 years ago to less than 5% now. Wow.[/quote]

I don't get this.  I finished in high school in 1989 in Pennsylvania and two friends went to Vandy.  One went there because he didn't get into Duke and the other because she didn't get into Dartmouth.  I think it was a great school back then too.
