I’m a junior and I’m starting to research the schools I’m interested in and this video is making me excited to apply to Vanderbilt

[@benstark2176]

same, go watch Elliot Choy if u want another perspective, he's awesome

[@annat3346]

I don't really comment on videos but this was such a beautiful and awesome tour you guys have created! I loved how you guys showed so much of campus and talked about specific things special to Vandy that I had no idea about. You guys also seem like very friendly and fun people to be around and it was honestly one of the best college tour videos I've ever seen. Great job!!!

[@Carolishious21]

I literally committed to Vandy 30 minutes ago. Thank you for this incredibly informative video! I can tell how much you guys truly love your school :)

I was accepted ED1 to Vandy and have already visited campus but this was a great commentary on why Vanderbilt is great! Can't wait to be there in the fall.

[@isabelk9018]

I’m a junior and high school and was supposed to visit last week. So I’m so glad you posted this video so I can see more of the school!

[@clairegatlin1753]

thanks for making this!!! i’m in the process of deciding where I want to go and it was super helpful!!

[@dancerloverish]

Thank you soooo much!!! You are amazing!!! A really great help in this crazy time! Thanks a lot! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@kyliamckoy1317]

I started recently looking at Vanderbilt and this was very helpful and nice. Y’all did a great tour and I enjoyed it a lot ;))

[@chloepostlewaite6656]

Just transferred! Extremely helpful coming from a student who has never gone to college in person!!

[@brendansheehy4060]

my son just got into Vandy, since we can't tour the school this was helpful. thanks.

[@macfabens547]

wait omg this is insane, I emailed you through the vandie website thing a few months ago and michael barry was my tour guide when I visited in September, now it's December and I was scrolling through youtube and this video showed up. I recognized both of you and got so confused for a moment. Quite a fun coincidence. Hearing back from vanderbilt for ED in 4 days, hopium levels are rising

[@maya-th2bu]

did you end up getting in? I also applied ED and got in!

[@veronicagonzalezparis5060]

Hi! I'm thinking about applying to Vanderbilt and this video was wonderful to know more about the campus! Thankss

[@polinasalinova2598]

Thank you Miles! I’m from Kazakhstan, so I don’t have an opportunity to visit the Vandy’s campus! I’m gonna apply to VU through ED🧡🖤

[@rhondaperrotta3337]

[@TejasMittal182]

Love how fucking refreshing this video is :))

[@kuiperobject]

great video, thanks - helps decide whether to accept admission!

I applied EDI I I can’t wait til December to find out if I get in! I really really hope I get to join the Commodore family!!!

Is there any way to pick your roommate or do they have to be randomly assigned? I have a friend who is also coming to vandy next year and I want to know if I could room with him

[@milesborowsky8140]

unfortunately they're not letting you pick your roommates next year :( you'll fill out a pretty extensive living survey and then get matched with someone that way

[@jan-dg4dq]

How’s the grade deflation/inflation in the History/Political Science departments at Vanderbilt?

[@milesborowsky8140]

definitely not bad!! haven't taken any history classes but I've had good experiences with poli sci

[@mosquito1094]

I want to go vandy too like my cousin,he is in the nfl

[@patrickpiller5021]

I was hopeful that in a couple years I could go to vandy, and then I saw their acceptance rate...

[@manuelsoto9134]

That means you’ve seen that the acceptance rate is not 0% and that you can go there if you really want to.

[@derekhenriquez5108]

i know this has nun to do with this but im in 6th and i want to go to vandy

[@stanaespatbh]

same im in 6th and stanford texas a and m or vandy

[@aliceyu8870]

Is grade deflation common within the college of engineering? I'm trying to decide if Vandy is worth full tuition 😬 and despite loving the school, I think I'll eventually have to learn to let go ☹️. Super elated I was admitted though :)

[@milesborowsky8140]

grade deflation is definitely common in intro "weed out" type courses: gen chem, calc 1 and 2, etc... but from what I understand, it gets a lot better in the upper level classes. I know a ton of engineers who struggled through those classes but ended up doing well in the higher level courses! I'm just speaking from my friends' experiences so engineers - correct me if i'm wrong.

[@phoebefowler7289]

Hi Alice! I'm a senior civil engineer at Vandy. As Miles said, the first few large classes you take (gen chem, calc) are definitely difficult, but I personally saw very little grade deflation (but the tests were very hard). However, once you get past the first 4-5 classes, this drastically changes (especially in certain engineering majors, like civil). My second semester freshman year I had a teacher tell my class of 35 that if anyone got below 85% on the test, she would blame herself for not teaching the course well enough! I hope that helps, and feel free to ask me any other questions! I can also direct you to other engineering majors if you have major-specific questions.

[@aliceyu8870]

@@phoebefowler7289 oh thank you for the reply! I was earlier wondering about grade deflation because I was considering premed, but if I come to Vanderbilt I'd probably give up that route just because it wouldn't really make sense to be a full-pay premed at Vandy (still super undecided if I want to be a premed or not lol). I actually do have some questions! 1. How common is double majoring with the college of engineering? Is it something where it's not too common? I still would like to do something med-related so I might do a double major of CS with bioengineering / biology. If I go the CS + bioengineering route, is this honestly too ambitious? 2. I heard that the average GPA within the college of engineering was like a 2.7. Truth to that? I know Vanderbilt isn't a walk in the park, but wow 2.7 is a bit intimidating lol.
