<p>They also focus a bit more on undergrads than vandy does. </p>
<hr>
<p>Vandy’s focus IS on undergrads in the undergrad schools. The fact that there are grad and professional schools at Vandy does not detract from the emphasis on undergrads. Undergrads do research, etc.</p>
<p>sorority formals girls would have their relatives come to the house and help them “get ready.” </p>
<hr>
<p>This is not true for all sororities … and half of all girls don’t even join sororities, so it’s largely not an issue. Those who like that sort of thing will be drawn to it & will not find this to be a problem. They might even welcome it.</p>
<p>you won’t see people eating much at all, again pressure to look good. </p>

<p>Wow, what an assumption. Do you actually have evidence to back up this ridiculous statement?</p>
<p>Students at WashU aren’t chosen just for academics but because each person is interesting,</p>
<hr>
<p>The many who were rejected and/or waitlisted from WashU with great backgrounds may be offended & feel that they, too, are interesting … just as Vandy students are interesting. Some get accepted, some do not. It doesn’t mean those who don’t get in or those who choose to attend another school are not interesting. Perhaps you mean that WashU seeks to balance its classes. I imagine Vandy does the same, although I agree that WashU makes a big point of emphasizing that they strive to put together a very diverse (in all senses of the word) class.</p>
