<p>Palmettotree"s diatribe against affirmative action (and Early Decision) made me look up some of his prior posts.</p>
<p>April 2008, Palmetto stated, “I think what might be happening is Vandy is trying to appear like they care about all that liberal crap to appease the ranking lords, but ultimately they’re sneaking in all the legacy WASPs through ED.”</p>
<p>Palmettotree, who has identified himself as a boarding school graduate, also reveals that he got an interview for admission from his daddy’s friend, both of whom are Vanderbilt alums: “I interviewed with a friend of my dad’s (both went to Vanderbilt in the 80s). He was great.”</p>
<p>Vanderbilt admissions told us that interviews were not possible. Apparantly, for Palmetto tree, the admission interview was not only possible, but could be conducted by daddy’s frat brother. A very sweet deal.</p>
<p>Thanks to the other posters, who have provided balanced information.</p>
