One more point would probably get you 70k at Vandy. Two more points. = 90k, 3 more points = 110k.

Purely anecdotal, but I got in 2 years ago with a 165/4.0 and got $45k in scholarship. I imagine admissions standards are a little more lax with the plummet in applications so I'd say you're likely to get into Vandy and probably get some decent scholarship.wsparker wrote:I will probably retake just to help with scholarships...but do I NEED to retake to be considered for Vandy?

45K at Vandy is not "decent" IMO. Way too expensive to attend with only 45K.Flips88 wrote:Purely anecdotal, but I got in 2 years ago with a 165/4.0 and got $45k in scholarship.
