A shot at Vanderbilt?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm applying regular decision to Vanderbilt, here is what I have to offer:</p>

<p>SAT I: V 580 M 570
SAT II: Writing 550 Math I 480
ACT composite: 25</p>

<p>G.P.A. (unweighted): 3.4
I attend a competetive boarding school</p>

<p>Have had summer jobs interning at a leading design-build firm creating computer 3-D models, have had extensive training at political campaigns, and I've been ice cream worker.</p>

<p>I have run Varsity XC (captain) and track, student body president, dorm prefect (similar to RA in college) newspaper editorial writer, Model-UN vice-president, democrats club president and founder, green team co-president, and Headstart volunteer 2 hrs./week</p>

<p>I am also receiving a recommendation from a high-ranking Vandy administration official. My essay is unique and memorable, my teacher rec's will be outstanding. </p>

<p>I will be a third generation legacy at Vanderbilt. </p>

<p>Tell me what you think...</p>

<p>You are a little on the low end for Vanderbilt, but send that application in there, and see what comes out of it.</p>

<p>Good Luck,</p>

<p>thanks for the help. i know vandy regards leadership qualities highly.</p>

<p>do you think early decision 2 would be a better route?</p>

<p>I hear legacies applying to Vanderbilt are getting turned down more and more often these days...</p>

<p>Vanderbilt relies more on who you are, not who someone else is.</p>

<p>I also heard an extremely wealthy alum recently donated a large sum with the condition that more legacies be accepted.</p>
