<p>Yeah you definitely need to bring that GPA up first semester. The AVERAGE GPA of students entering vanderbilt is a 4.0, and even with your stellar test scores the admissions office might view you as a very bright individual who is a slacker, and they don't want that. The lack of ec's also hurts. I would say Vandy is a low reach for you, a high match if you can bring your GPA up a bit</p>
