<p>Weak?? I would hardly call the applicants for I/S “weak” … it’s just that Ingram Scholars are over-the-top-amazing. Read the bio’s on Vandy’s website. These kids have done flat out incredible things as high school students, and they have to convince the committee that they will be able to handle Vandy’s academic demands while continuing to be amazing community organizers. It’s truly the cream of the crop that gets to be an I/S.</p>
