Last year, 139 CV Scholarships were handed out to all four colleges (Art & Sciences, Peabody, Blair, Engineering). There were 29 A&S CV Scholars that attended Vandy (myself included). CV Scholars include anything from Presidential Scholars and Academic Bowl captains to people that have been on Oprah and that have written for the New York Times blog. Don’t be discouraged, though, not all of us have perfect SATs/ACTs. Most of us are just normal people =). However, the one thing that I believe makes us stand out is our dedication to and excellence in something we love. For me, it was piano - I’ve been playing since I was 4. For others, it might be sports, academic teams, hobbies, clubs - really anything. Whatever it is, Vanderbilt chooses you to be a CV scholar because it expects you to be a leader and a role model.
