<p>No, you do not have a feasible shot of being accepted to Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>Here’s what I see with your app:</p>

<p>Good things:</p>

<p>-your alumni connection makes you immediately above others; Vandy likes to keep it in the family ^.^
-you are taking AP classes, which shows you challenge yourself
-you’ve been part of a champion soccer team for three years which shows commitment and dedication</p>

<p>Bad things:
GPA is lacking, possibly because of AP overload…not that i’m right, this is just what I see
SAT score–while it is in no way a “bad score,” Vandy typically only focuses on scores around 1950±-can you take the test again?</p>

<p>What Else Should You Do:</p>

<p>-If you haven’t done so already, visit the school and get an interview. Vanderbilt is one of those schools that will only care about your app if you care about them.
-If you meet your regional officer anytime in the future, make sure you stay connected with them by emailing only if you have questions or if you wish to add a significant achievement after your app is submitted
Retake the SAT
Try and raise your GPA–don’t overload on APs if it’s going to knock down your GPA.
-If your objective criteria is lacking, buff up your subjective criteria: essays, work, ECs. But the best is if you get involved with something that makes you totally stand out. What about coaching underprivileged soccer kids or something like that?</p>

<p>Best of luck! Chance me please</p>
