Keep in mind when reading minority enrollment percentages that Asian is a minority but is not given preference in admission.
I got into vandy early decision (no hook or outstanding stats) and Ive become Facebook friends with many other potential students. I’m very liberal and involved in politics myself, but many of the other people in the class of '20 have posted in support of Rubio and Cruz, and even one for Trump. There also seems to be a very strong Christian and crazy-horse-obsessed-girl presence as well, which I had forgotten about after moving from Iowa to Rhode Island. Vanderbilt is very diverse politically and ethnically, which is why I applied early decision and I’m unbelievably excited to attend.
Side note, LGBT people are not given admissions preference as there is no place on the common app to identify your sexuality or trans status.
