<p>I have two chidren at Vandy, both with the same ethnic background as you. I think you have a reasonable chance. See if you can get the SAT up a little as it is below the 25th percentile. Your EC’s look great. Get really good recommendations and put some real thought into your esay. Good luck, my kids are extreamly happy with there experience at Vandy!</p>
