| I am familiar with Vandy.
Yes, there are a lot of kids who are from wealthy families and into the status and name brand name thing. However, there are a whole bunch of kids who have a different set of priorities. Your daughter will have no problem finding like-minded peers.
Having said this, if you want a more unassuming environment, UVA would be a much more safe bet - and would provide an excellent education. My son is also an Echols Scholar and is more than likely to end up there.
The funny thing is that among some kids in Virginia who are contemplating college, UVA is considered to have a lot of arrogant kids from wealthy families! |
