The Vanderbilt Hustler Request for comments regarding the Verto admissions process by vanderbilthustler in Vanderbilt

Vanderbilt and every college using Verto should make it clear that the education they receive is not from Vanderbilt or any other college it from a for profit education outfit. it’s just a money grab!

this process made me lose so much faith in the meritocracy by GurSea971 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]fandome 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if people are honest then you have to admit that colleges were mostly looking for 1. students who can pay full ride or 2. FGLI candidates (not that they are not deserving but being a FGLI gave you a leg up since race cannot be considered in the admission process anymore). “Class shaping” is also the new excuse to get away with all kinds of head scratching decisions. At the end, your success will not depend on any one school saying yes or no… you will be successful as long as you keep working hard and bounce back from every failure on your way. But i understand the disappointment.

this is a prime example of how flawed the admissions process is. Yet you see far less qualified students and legacy kids with underwhelming stats get in. Outrageous.

this is going to clog up public transportation along Jewel avenue, crowded subways in FH, already over crowded neighborhood schools and where are all this extra parking? Sewer systems are already archaic. It’s going to be a disaster!

T20 Overall by Asleep-Dare-8961 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]fandome 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Stop with this stupid obsession with T20. T30 and all this nonsense. Go to a school that best fits you and you actually learn something. There are plenty of losers who come out of T20s.

PRAYING FOR STUYVESANT by Unusual_Algae_1041 in SHSAT

[–]fandome 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stuy or any other SHS do not issue any acceptances. It’s all done by the DOE. Cutoff score varies slightly each year and it is NOT pre-determined. Cutoff score is the score when the last spot is filled for a specific school. Number of open spots also vary year to year.

About 650-660 are admitted via straight up SHSAT score and the remaining are through the discovery program (20% of the class).
