Do i have chance???</p>

<p>of course....I say a farily good chance, but what is up with the GPA?</p>

<p>It depends. You have 12 APs. Did you get 12 5's? Or did you get a 1 or 2 on all of them? If you have all 5's, then this shows your ability, and that you go to a school with very little grade inflation (or you slacked off the whole year and studied hard at crunch time). If you didn't do so well, then, well... that's a bad thing. However, your SAT scores are in Vandy's range (extrapolating from the old average SAT scores) and are definitly your strong point. Your SATII scores are good as well. If you have some good EC activities and write impressive essays you certainly have a shot at Vandy. Definitly try.</p>

<p>something doesn't ring of sincerity about this post. If you are that insecure you need help. You obviously have a chance from your scores.</p>

<p>but then again, just to be mean, let's assume your essay is like nails on a chalkboard, irritatingly arrogant. Or let's assume that one of your teachers you ask for a recommendation secretly hates you and bludgeons you with a mediocre at best rating. Or let's assume your ecs make you the world's most boring nondescript person-----wait, that's an award you could list so chalk that as a positive.</p>

<p>Let's hope you have a chance. Maybe you don't</p>
