Hey, I'm really curious about the Cornelius Vanderbilt and other strictly merit-based scholarships at Vandy (not so much the volunteering ones). I'm sure a few of you CCers have gotten some, and I would really appreciate it if you could post your stats, or at least give some helpful tips as to why you feel you got the scholarship.

I attended the Pre-VU on July 7, and the woman in charge of merit based scholarships said that the typical Cornelius V. recipient is top 1-2 in their class, mid 1500s SAT or 34-35 ACT, has a rigorous schedule, and is "involved". I feel as if I qualify, but don't want to get my hopes up too high, as full or 75% tuition to Vandy is my top choice.

Here are my stats if you are interested :] (Any feedback is appreciated)
thanksssss (Duke, Vandy- Cornelius V., Stanford, Johns Hopkins BME)

thank you.
