[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some recent data https://vanderbilthustler.com/2024/04/11/a-steady-decline-class-of-2028-regular-decision-admission-rate-drops-to-3-7-overall-admission-rate-to-5-1/

This article includes an interesting chart showing that test scores comparing applicants (I wonder if that's accurate, vs enrolled students) in ED vs RD.[b] Scores of ED applicants are slightly lower than RD.[/b]

I would note that test optional applicants are more likely to enroll, that is, they have higher yield. Vandy may find it a little difficult to maintain the recent high yield if they begin to enroll a lower proportion of test optional students.[/quote]

Vanderbilt is one of the only D1 schools in a Power 5, that is also a T20.  It takes a ton of those many, many, many athletes in ED. The gigantic football roster, the 3 bench deep baseball team, and all the usual soccer and so forth.

I don't need to rehash the special academic consideration that recruited athletes get; it's been discussed exhaustively on DCUM[/quote]
