Chance EDII - I'll chance back

<p>I'm interested in studying : Cognitive Psychology, Astrophysics, Music Production, and open for ideas!</p>

<p>I have a ~4.25 weighted, 3.88 unweighted GPA, and after my senior year I will have finished 8 AP Classes. I have a 31 composite on my ACT, and a 2010 on my SAT.
On SAT II I have a 750 in Math I and a 800 in Math II. Plan on taking US and/or Physics.</p>

<p>I've taken: AP World, APUSH and APGov, APPsych, APChem, AP Spanish and am taking APCalc, APEnglish Lang and Lit, and AP Spanish Lit
Although, not every score has been amazing..</p>

<p>I've played two varsity sports, tennis and golf. Tennis i've lettered 7 times, and am the captain. Also captain of the academic team.
I have probably around 150-200 hours of community service.
I'm president of the National Beta Club, vice-president of NHS, have been co-president of Spanish club, officer of Social Action Club, member of SGA and film.
Along with the aforementioned ECs, Im co-chair for an environmental task for in the city, work at local expos, play AAU basketball, teach myself piano, and run atleast 30 miles a week. But the latter two or three things seem insignificant on an application. As for community service, does that really matter that much?</p>

<p>and, the upper-tier interest has a lot to do with need-blind admissions.. I kind of need a low cost of attending school.</p>

<p>Along with this i've gotten a decent number national and state awards and recognitions.
and i'm a vegetarian.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>you seem to pretty much have everything, i think you have a great shot! good luck!</p>

<p>bump for hope :)</p>

<p>I think your application looks really solid. Everything is right where it should be, so I don’t know why you wouldn’t get in. Community service is pretty important, but if you have 200 hours, then it should be enough. I’ll give you an 80% chance (just because there’s no such thing as a shoe-in at Vandy). Chance me back! I’ll go ahead and post my stats here.</p>

<p>EDI
3.8 GPAw (4.25 is highest at my school)
top 15 %
32 ACT
ECs: Band(president), cross country, track, math and science team
2 part time jobs
600+ community hours</p>

<p>The main thing that concerns me about my application is my GPA/class rank. My class is only about 130 people (though it is a very good school). I didn’t try in high school until the end of my junior year, and I’m regretting it now. Anyway, let me know what you think and good luck!</p>

<p>that is indeed a great sets of stats.i’ll say you have a match of going to vandy</p>

<p>the whole “chance me, ill chance you back” thing is absurd. it is just two people who have no idea what they are saying talking to each other. </p>

<p>but anyways touhou, retake your ACT or SAT. 31 ACT is a bit low to be confident to get in. and vandy only looks at SAT math and reading, so give a SAT score out of 1600.</p>

<p>Your 31 ACT is ~1380/1600. That’s probably a bit lower than Vandy would like.</p>

<p>i have a 1380/1600 on my SAT (630CR, 750M), which again, is low. but i don’t really have time to retake a standardized test.</p>

<p>EDIT: speak of the irony.</p>
