[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of current student from DC. Vanderbilt is not nearly as fun as DCUM says it is. No T20 school with the highest entry barriers is going to be fun. V. is very demanding once you’re in, just like Cornell or JHU or Duke. Really. [/quote]

No it isn’t.  It’s known for grade inflation, and this was the experience of family members who have attended in recent years.

As long as it takes half the class test optional, Vandy is going to be the weak link in the T20, popular with kids who don’t have a chance at the test required schools.[/quote].

PP you’re responding to. You post on every thread about your cousins who attended Vanderbilt years ago. My source, my junior who attends now, is a better source. There is grade DEflation within econ, engineering, and the pre-med tracks. It’s actually a problem.

I strongly suspect your years-back cousins attended Peabody school within Vanderbilt, which is for education majors and marketing and sales types. Grades are easy in Peabody/HoD

Huh, this was within the past 5 years, and neither was in Peabody.  Nor are they my cousins.  Perhaps you are confusing me with another poster.[/quote]

One was business, the other pre health.[/quote]

There’s no undergrad business major. Try again [/quote]

That was her area of interest, went into consulting after graduation.  Trying to protect anonymity.  Sorry your kids struggled there despite the grade inflation.[/quote]
