<p>I don’t like giving chances because I think admissions is much more complex than the numbers that are thrown out here i.e. SAT/ACTs, Class Rank, GPA, etc…</p>

<p>As for financial aid, parental income is one major part of determining your need, along with parental assets and your income. Vandy is very good with FA packages. If you request info from Vanderbilt, you should receive a Financial Aid booklet that outlines everything, including the average financial aid packages awarded to students with a parental income of X to Y.</p>
