<p>Just to clarify, the rules regarding AP credit and usage are different for the various schools within Vanderbilt. The engineering school (VUSE) has different rules than A and S, and even within VUSE, the rules differ for different majors.</p>
<p>My son, a cs and math major, studies hard for his grades. Nobody is handing out As easily, and math may be among the stingiest fields.</p>
<p>His girlfriend, in one of the premed fields in A and S, works long and hard and is not thrilled sometimes with the grade that results. </p>
<p>I don’t know for sure how VU compares with other top private schools, but I will venture that it is a tough school for many majors.</p>
<p>But it is a great place. Just don’t attend simply because you think it is a great place to party-hearty.</p>
