Hey @Cshaffer17! Vandy offers 3 full tuition scholarships so make sure you research all of them and see which one would be best to apply for. I was always more into academics than ECs , even though I did pursue a few of them passionately. The CV scholarship is usually given to someone who stands out in standardized tests( I had 2380) and is ranked in the top 1% of his or her class. Apart from that, you must display passion in whichever ECs you pursue and should have made significant contributions outside of class as well. There is also a pretty long essay that you have to write. My essay was about Econ and how it can make a difference to the lives of under-privileged kids. So, if you’re good academically, have good ECs and an engaging and well thought-out essay, you should apply for the CV scholarship. You can also see if the Ingram or Chancellor’s Scholarship may be better options or not.
