<p>I'm a senior in high school. Vanderbilt is my number one and I am thinking to apply early action. I am a military brat and I have moved twice in high school and attended high school in Cheyenne, Wyoming and am now back in Northern Virginia. I'm a resident of Wyoming, but I'll be graduating from Virginia so I don't know what that will mean for my application from a residency. I know the Wyoming residency would be helpful at Vanderbilt. </p>
<p>Virginia
Public High School, 2400+ students, does not rank
Wyoming
Public High School, around 1200 students, in top 10% of class
I'm not sure about my weighted GPA but my unweighted is around a 3.86. I'm guessing unweighted is about a 4.1, but my transcript hasn't been completed from my most recent move.
ACT:
