The grading standards at Vandy are very rigorous, but it is worth noting how collegial and supportive I found the academic atmosphere to be. Not at all competitive, everyone tends to feel like they are in it together and a helping hand is never far away. If your self-worth is coupled to your GPA, this is not the right school for you, and one of the more competitive Northeastern schools would fit you better. However, you’ll find that you learn a great deal regardless of your grades. In the end, its all about your effort and what your priorities are.
