Vandy is great about need based aid. They have to be to pull in the diversity they’re looking for. Otherwise it would just be the rich kids club. That said, about 40% of students pay the full price tag, all $40,000 of it. The student body is on the whole very wealthy. I got a mix of merit and need based when I was there for undergrad and now that I’m headed back for grad school this fall, VU is footing the bill. Merit based aid is super hard to come by though. You’ve got to be the best of the best. Also, I love Vanderbilt. It’s a fabulous place to go to school. Go dores!
