“Son applied RD and was not awarded the scholarship. We understand the ultra-competitiveness involved and are neither upset nor surprised by this outcome. That’s just the way it is. He will have many good options. That said, I still can’t help but shake my head.”

@Gopher44 – the playing field for the Vandy merit schollies is the top 1% of Vandy’s applicant pool. So the air up there is pretty thin. Perfect grades, perfect test scores and awesome ECs are table stakes.

Probably comes down to the soft factors, like did the essays resonate.
