Frazzled, I can't comment specifically as I have little personal experience with the schools, but a number of kids I have known have ended up at Vandy because of their generous financial packages. None of these kids fit the rich kids stereotype in the least as they are extremely cost conscious in that some of those kids could have gone elsewhere as their parents were ready to sacrifice to send them whereever they wanted to go. But they visited Vandy, and felt that it was every bit as good as their other choices and so it came down to the money. I think there are "rich" kids there, but you know, you won't them richer than you will at HPY. You should see the names and money of a number of the kids there. The difference is the money name is in that of the school itself at Vandy.
