<p>Thank you in advance for any feedback </p>
<p>I also got a 2240 on the december sat</p>
<p>My college adviser has some connection to vanderbilt and she says she’s willing to help out</p>
<p>Hey, pretty good stats you got there. If I were you, I’d probably retake the ACT again, just to see what you get. Your ACT seems to be a bit stronger than the SAT and I think it’s easier anyways. And group theory, nice nice. If you needed, well not needed, but if you could add one thing, I’d say it’s research experience. Research experience tends to set Vandy applicants apart from other Vandy applicants cause seriously, like no one has lab experience. As a junior, you should be able to apply for the American Cancer Society summer internship for high school kids. Looks really good and it’s $2000 bucks in the pocket after 8 weeks of work. If you can’t get that (cause it’s super competitive), I’d say just look around and poke around local universities and check out any possible opportunities.</p>
<p>I work full time in the summers and live with my grandparents so I don’t think id be able to do something like that but I do have a good amount of research experience
Thanks so much for the feedback</p>
<p>also the group theory is just more of a personal interest</p>
