Hi! I'm really interested in Peabody and I've been looking into it a lot lately. Does anyone know what their acceptance rate is like? Just trying to understand my chances and keep it real. Appreciate the help!
Peabody College, which is part of Vanderbilt University, doesn't have a separate acceptance rate from Vanderbilt's overall acceptance rate. That's because when you apply to Vanderbilt, you apply to the university as a whole and also indicate your interest in one of the four undergraduate schools, which include Peabody College.
As of the 2023-2024 application cycle, Vanderbilt has an overall acceptance rate of approximately 6.7%. It's known to be highly selective. That said, keep in mind that your chances at admissions depend on a lot more than just the overall acceptance rate. Your academic profile—like your GPA, the rigor of your high school courses, any SAT or ACT scores you may submit—along with your extracurricular achievements, essays, and letters of recommendation all contribute to your potential for admission.
Remember that achieving a personal fit with the university is also crucial, so spend some time delving into the specifics of what Peabody offers and how you see yourself contributing to the community there. Good luck with your applications!
