<p>Greetings Fellows Posters! I am a junior from northern MS who wishes to be chanced for admissions to Vanderbilt (ED). My grades and test scores are rock solid, but my EC's suck. Be brutally honest, for I have nothing to lose, and....well, nothing to gain either, but I'd still appreciate it!</p>

<p>You will almost definately get in. No need to submit the SAT, just submit that 35 which is way above average for any school. You could probably shoot for higher but yea.
Yea your ECs arent very good but being a tutor and playing varsity tennis aren’t so bad xD</p>

<p>You have great chance of not only getting in, but also receiving a good scholarship. Keep up your grades and show your leadership.</p>

<p>Thanks for the comments. Also, could you judge my chances for these schools as well?</p>

<p>Emory
Tulane
University of Alabama
UVA
NYU
Duke
UCLA</p>

<p>In addition, is Vanderbilt a match school for me, or more of a reach? Again, I want your honest opinion.</p>

<p>Thanks! :)</p>

<p>Vandy is a reach if you go RD, ED is more of a mid to high match.</p>

<p>I think you can make all those except duke and ucla. NYU may be tough if you apply to Stern, and UVA could be also if you’re out of state, but I think the rest will be good.</p>
