Applying
to Vanderbilt and graduating from there in 1981 was the
best thing I ever did. I think I was
perhaps the poorest undergraduate to ever graduate from a so
called “rich kid's school”. I was from a small
town in Texas and competing against the young people with
mostly better prep backgrounds was very challenging but it could
be done. To me the Engineering school was a
tough academic marathon but if you can survive it you
will do well the rest of your life. The
counter-intuitive thing about going to a school that costs $50
K a year now and about $ 10 K a
year when I attended in the late 1970's is that
the folks at Vandy will find a way to keep
you in school whether by an R.A. position, ROTC scholarship
or funding from the scholarship slush fund.
They
weed people out in the application process so everyone who
gets in can make it if they apply themselves.
90
% of the students are good people and friendly and
easy to talk to. Like any place you have
a few arrogant jerks who will try to put you
down but that gets you ready for the real world.
The level of competition was very intense and during
my first year I wasn't sure if I was going
to make it. However by observing the better prepared
students and working with them I managed to pick up
the subtle skills needed to make decent grades my last
two years when I felt like I could beat the
better prepared students at the academic game. If you
are faint-hearted type of person don't go there but if
you want a great challenge and boost to your early
career go there have fun and learn a lot.
It has a great social scene and the best looking
coed's in the SEC bar none.
