âDiscussion of Vanderbilt's Admissions Standards: In 2015, only 12% of Vanderbilt University applicants got accepted. To get in, applicants are going to need grades and standardized test scores that are well above average. In the graph above, the blue and green dots represent accepted students. As you can see, most successful Vanderbilt applicants had averages in the A range, SAT scores (RW+M) of about 1300 or higher, and ACT composite scores of 28 or higher. A large number of applicants had 4.0 GPAs. Clearly the higher your grades and test scores, the better your chance of an acceptance letter.
Vanderbilt, a private university ranked 21st on U.S. News and World Report list of top colleges, has long had a reputation as a Southern, white, wealthy--and Protestant--school. Jews account for about 4 percent of its enrollment of 10,500, compared with more than 20 percent at Ivy League schools. About 2 percent of the U.S. population is Jewish. The only Top 25 university with fewer Jewish students than Vanderbilt is the University of Notre Dame, a Roman Catholic school. It is a statistic Vanderbilt's chancellor, Gordon Gee, wants to change and a reason he hired Rabbi David Davis as an assistant to the provost a year and a half ago.
