Your numbers do need to be as near to perfect as possible, and perfect numbers still don’t guarantee anything.

There are more than 15 full tuition scholarships from Vandy. Swimcatsmom, I think the one you’re thinking about is the Harold Stirling Vanderbilt Scholarship, which is advertised as the most prestigious scholarship Vanderbilt offers. Back when I went through the interview process, there were 9 available in A&S and 1 each in the other schools. I think they’ve been increased in the meantime, however.

I really don’t know why I got the money while others didn’t. When all the finalists have near-perfect numbers and amazing ECs and recs. it becomes a bit of a lottery.
