[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve mentioned this in other threads, I have a junior at Vanderbilt and am not impressed by the outcomes compared to peer schools.

We know too many students without internships. My DC had a great freshman internship which helped set the stage and has a decent one this summer (good, not great) but I notice that others who did not get that freshman internship are struggling to catch up.

To pay astronomical tuition for extremely weak career services and outcomes is worrisome.

My DC is in Greek life but I have never heard of any Friday clothing thing. There’s a lot of misinformation on this thread regarding Greek life, housing, business undergrad, etc. [/quote]
It's in Nashville that's why. Emory and Rice have great outcomes because of their anchor cities. [/quote]

My DC goes to Vanderbilt. He's had good internships. They place well in consulting. But it's true they don't have a huge footprint in IB in NYC. Most placements are at regional offices - Denver, Dallas, Atlanta.

Nashville has been booming in recent years. So there are a lot of opportunities there. Also, Vanderbilt has a lot going on - from neuroscience to music. It's not a school that's singularly focused on creating a pipeline to Wall Street. [/quote]

Did your kid get in ED? Which round?[/quote]

ED. From this area. Public.

It was a good fit for him. No complaints.[/quote]
