^^ well, it seems the Vandy has pretty high average SAT scores:

SAT Critical Reading: 630 - 720
SAT Math: 650 - 740
SAT Writing: 630 - 710

I was talking more about their GPA breakdown:

* 46% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher

25% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74

17% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49

8% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24

4% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99


Which is very close to a state university in California (Cal Poly’s):

* 49% had h.s. GPA of 3.75 and higher

23% had h.s. GPA between 3.5 and 3.74

16% had h.s. GPA between 3.25 and 3.49

8% had h.s. GPA between 3.0 and 3.24

4% had h.s. GPA between 2.5 and 2.99


But perhaps Vanderbilt is so holistic that they their GPA breakdown is diverse, as they’d pay much more attention to ECs and the like, rather than GPA.
