Abmcq17, I’m sorry to hear of your denial. Vandy is ultra competitive this year and initial ED stats reports suggest that they had so many apps that they paid a lot of attention to GPA and test scores. My initial impression from the ED1 stats is that 33 would very probably get you in, all else being equal, and 32 probably would not. That’s a very high score, esp. when the paired GPA is 3.8-4.0 unwtd. RD should be even tougher. Vandy seems to be one of these schools that you’d better apply to ED1 or expect to have almost no chance. Those 250 or so tuition scholarships have drawn apps from the best students in the U.S. because so few people can afford $250K for a single child even tho some of them have very good salaries. Something has to give in this country.
