<p>So, What are your thoughts? Is the class of 2018 applicant pool going to be even more competitive than previous years? How does a 3.9 UW, rigorous courses, 32 ACT, good EC's, fab recs, decent essay, sibling legacy, arts and science, ED1 applicant look? Brutally honest is appreciated!</p>
<p>Vanderbilt will continue to gain prestige and renown throughout high schools in the United States as the years pass by. Whatever Vandy started doing is working. So yes, next year will be even more competitive than ever before if it follows recent trends.</p>
<p>What you gave so far is a tad vague, but it does seem to be a solid application. College admissions is a mystery and you never really know until you’re actually receiving a letter back from the school, but, like I said before, from what you’ve given us, it seems as though you would be a solid applicant. Not extraordinary, but not terribly weak either.</p>
