Yeah, it does seem Vanderbilt hits most of those above points. What holds you back from ED to Vanderbilt? Is it the prestige factor of an Ivy? Finding a great fit is much more important than prestige. You mention that your parents are willing to pay for Brown full pay. Are they not willing to pay full pay to Vanderbilt if it comes down to that (you may likely get merit from them) but not a sure thing)?
