Understandable! I’m looking at schools such as Columbia, UNC, and Duke however Vanderbilt was voted as the happiest university in the country, the professors are extremely good and interactive, and it’s the perfect size for me. I’ve also talked to a few reps from vanderbilt and they say that students from Tennessee have an equal if not better chance ( although that could be a front trying to persuade more students to apply) If being from tennessee provides me with a better chance at out of state schools then i might need to reconsider…
