Also, unlike at most top colleges, where asians are overrepresented, asians are considered URMs at Vandy, so that’ll help your chances a tad.

As for the race relations, I read on somewhere, I think the Princeton Review site, that apparently Vandy is in the top 20 for schools with very little racial interaction. I have mixed feelings on that. On one hand, my personal experiences suggest otherwise. My best friend is asian and the girl I’m seeing is hispanic, who I met through my black friends, so I have a somewhat diverse collection of friends. But, at the same time, I’ve heard from others, both white and non-white, that they wish there was more racial intermingling. The few times the issue has been brought up, it was more in a “I wish Vandy was…” instead of a “The problem with Vandy is…” manner.
