900 students wrote essays that pertained to diversity in thought or background, race or origins for the shot at a Chancellor’s. Some students didn’t find that topic appealing to write about or relevant to them. The Chancellors in its early form was targeted more toward recruiting minority applicants. Before Vandy revamped their merit offers into three main categories, there were a slew of scholarships with individual names and histories but that is no longer. I believe there is still a Lanier for Georgians and a sportswriter merit scholarship and there may be a few others. Vanderbilt does not have an issue recruiting minority applicants in this decade so the concept has broadened as the student body has diversified. The Chancellors are not part of the honors seminars system organized for CV scholars, altho as I said before all Vandy freshman have the option of applying for these seminars after first semester, even though many students will not find seminars to be suitable for their academic goals. Keep in mind that yield will reduce the numbers of students who are offered merit scholarships vs those who attend. All Vandy students usually have choices to weigh in March and April, but Vandy’s need aid is almost as good as it gets. I think a couple or more of the Ivies can offer a percentage of income ceiling to some families that can be very appealing if you are admitted.
