Admittedly, part of it was that I had already committed to Vanderbilt on April 18 (well before Wash U’s decision day of May 15). That being said, I remained confident in my decision. I ended up adding Human and Organizational Development on top of Economics at Vandy, and my interest in the HOD program as well as the other business-y programs (Corporate Strategy and Business minors) made a compelling case for my maintaining my original decision. Additionally, I love Division I FBS football (I grew up watching a lot of it); as a program in a Power 5 conference, Vanderbilt would provide some awesome football to satiate that interest for me. Lastly, I wanted a school with a vibrant social life. Vanderbilt is a school with a thriving Greek community and in an unreal city. As much as I had come to like Wash U through my research and even though I knew it would be tough to pass up their econ program, the social life and athletics ended up pushing the decision in favor of Vanderbilt for me.
