<p>I can tell you that this estimate is high because it includes the priciest dorm choice (private rooms), and the priciest meal plan (only required frosh year). typically, someone with the full tuition scholarship can get costs down to $15k or below…especially after frosh year. </p>
<p>If the student is an engg or comp sci major, he would get 2500 per year more. </p>
<p>since this students is iffy about med school, he should choose a major that he likes and will provide employment options if he doesnt go to med school. Many engg/cs majors are premed, and they are using their majors as back-up careers. My own son did that. he was a chemical engg major, just in case he didnt go to med school. </p>
<p>to be fairly competitive for vandy, the student’s sat needs to be 2200+ or an ACT 33+</p>
