Looks like they have a 7% acceptance rate. That's on par with most ivy league schools.

That'd be great. Here's to both of my crossed fingers.

Oklahoma colleges are like this. They had some kind of tuition price freeze built into their state constitution so colleges couldn't let costs get out of control. BUT-- the law didn't say anything about fees, so schools just jacked those up like crazy.

Problem is that people who get scholarships often get tuition covered, but not fees. When I went to grad school I usually had about $10k per year not paid for. Add that to cost of living and summer classes (which weren't paid at all) I was spending about $20k per year even though I had a "full ride".

Just paid off my $150k in student loans this year.

Oh fantastic. Whenever I hear a really good thing like this, I immediately worry that it's like that college tuition reform bill republicans are pushing that is actually a thinly veiled attempt to begin racially tracking and matriculating students.

Yeah, that's great to hear about the Vanderbilt program, and valuable to hear about your experience there.
