<p>Your stats are mediocre (probably should retake or don't send SAT, it's way less than par), but you're from the North and Asian. I will give you $1,000 if you don't get in. Tell me you're Jewish and I bet the Admissions department will faint when they read your app.</p>

<p>Don't submit the SAT. Just use the ACT and you'll get into Vandy. Good luck!</p>

<p>You'll be fine for Vandy. Only problem might be SATs, but very good ACTs make up for the fairly low range SAT Is (for Vandy). Is your project an Intel/Siemens winning project? If not, probably not necessary to mention submission. However, do attach it, and see if you can get a prof to review it (such as a CUNY professor, or something of the like). That could help.</p>
