<p>Hey! Swimmer! My neighbor got CV and had a 32 ACT! Perhaps you should not paint yourself to be such an authority on the matter.</p>
<p>Not everyone can afford Vanderbilt - even with the financial aid package. It’s 100% “demonstrated” need that is fulfilled - but the university’s definition of demonstrated is very different than a family’s. Yes, I want to go there, and if I get CV I can. You’re telling me not to apply and not to find out if I can get it? Because someone less qualified than me may not get in? Sorry to be blunt, but that’s the worst advice I’ve ever been given.</p>
<p>I know I probably won’t get it, but you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.</p>
