<p>so basically, my main concern is my 31 ACT score, which is apparently in the middle 50% for ED at Vandy (31-33). do you think that my ec's, use of ED, grades, SAT II, APs, and summer at Vanderbilt will push me through despite my ACT score? Also, what about the other schools (i'm instate for UCs)? UC B, UCLA, UCSB</p>
<p>Strengths- GPA, ECs, SAT II, APs
Weaknesses- Mediocre ACT</p>
