For all Student-Athletes who earn an offer from Vanderbilt; let me give y'all some context. Vanderbilt's admit rate will drop below 7% this year. Almost 50,000 students applied, and over 93% will not get in.
Every offer from Vandy is special, so maximize your opportunity!!! ⚓⬇️

This caught my eye today: On average, 95.6% of Vanderbilt University graduates go straight to work or go into graduate school (Med School, Law School, etc.).
It can be hard to contextualize statistics, but I will attempt to do it for you.
That is really good! ⚓️⬇️

Anyone w/ a Vandy offer read this: Vanderbilt has a 6% Admit Rate & a 94% graduation rate. (✋🏿Read that stat again!) It is extremely hard to get in but virtually all students who do graduate.
So, if someone ever says you aren't smart enough for Vandy now, you know better! 💯⚓️⬇️
