<p>Great choices, Tim! 12 top-quality students from my class applied to Vanderbilt, only one got in. Vanderbilt has the highest increase in applications nationwide - 2nd UofChicago-3rd Harvard. Something is going on at Vanderbilt (is the buzz). New dorms for freshman, starting a residential college system, that look like “Harry Potter” according to some of the posts a Vandy. Engage program guaranteeing medical and law school admissions to those who qualify and keep GPA level. Law school is ranked #15 in the nation. The most beautiful girls I’ve seen in any campus . Terrific weather. Nashville is a music-party town. One of my friends is going there, and is absolutely thrilled. Another friend is going to BC (although I don’t know enough about it). Another friend is going to UNC. Don’t know anybody going to USC, so can’t comment. Great guns! You’ve got great choices! I know it’s not ND, but being a strong Catholic, sometimes I let God take my hand so he can lead me along. Maybe He’s doing that to you. Keep the faith!</p>
