The college search process can be confusing and we are here to help demystify it to the best of our ability. We want students to be as well informed as possible as they navigate the admissions process. We will be more than willing to connect you with the offices that may be better suited to answer your questions. Just as we have provided our contact information for students and families — every office and academic department on campus also has contact information on their website as well.
Our goal is to help you through the admissions process. We welcome conversations with students and their families. As always, you can find your admissions counselor here — we look forward to talking with you!

In my spare time, I love to cook gourmet food, experience unique wine, travel to remote places, stay healthy and fit and spend as much time as possible with my wife, kids and friends. In addition to vascular surgery, I am also board certified in critical care. When the pandemic limited the amount of surgery needed, I traveled around the country to provide care within intensive care units to critically ill COVID patients.
Frank C. Dartmouth was just to isolated and cold in my opinion. Vanderbilt just had a spark, the campus was beautiful, the people were very friendly, simply a great feeling. You will be on a good path with either choice, it is really about you.
I'd only choose Vandy if you REALLY need good weather, good looking girls and better parties Or if you just don't feel at home in Philly, which is actually fairly likely to happen. But for the things that matter the most, UPenn takes the cake. Most of my friends who go there seem to be wanna-be-yallies, not freakin-pumped-to-be-year-vandies. Sadly, I don't think it will merit the same enthusiasm. I'm going to Vandy, and I've met a lot of great students from around the country at three-day programs at Duke and Wash U who are going to Vandy, like me, because of merit money.
I did not actually visit or apply to Penn, since my parents went there for grad school and did not enjoy it, on account of the pretty dismal surrounding area.
It just so happens that they went to Vandy for undergrad and really had a great time. The classes I visited at Vandy were taught by brilliant and engaging professors, with one of the senior faculty teaching a freshman intro course, though this may have just been the luck of the draw. If one really stands out for you, go there. I can't help but be biased in favor of Vanderbilt, so consult as many people as possible.
Know that wherever you choose, you will be attending school with many unusually smart and talented students, and learning from some of the best minds in the world. UPenn's academics and reputation in the North are slightly better.
Penn's reputation blows Vandy out of the water in CA, for example. Are you kidding? At best, a "very good" school and at worst and often , a "southern party school. I'm from New York and worked an elite investment bank.
During my interviews, everyone was familiar with Vanderbilt and many commented that it was a great school.
