<p>I don’t know where anyone thinks that legacies have any advantage at Vanderbilt now. I personally know of one girl just a couple of years ago who had more than acceptable stats, had both parents who were Vandy alums that hosted numerous fundraisers in their home and had another fundraiser scheduled when they found out their daughter was waitlisted. There were many blistering phone calls made! Daughter did NOT go to Vanderbilt. There is also no preference for admission to children of faculty either, both in the regular university or the medical center.</p>
