<p>A few questions: are all your music groups @ school or also out of school? Have you done all for 3-4 years? </p>

<p>I recommend that you kill it on your essays, and I’d be glad to read them.</p>

<p>I applied to Vanderbilt last year, and was accepted, so I can definitely help.</p>

<p>Which extracurricular have you chosen to discuss in your supplemental essay?</p>

<p>All of them are in school except Chamber Orchestra (through a different program). Wow, thanks that’s so nice of you! I chose to write about cheerleading. I discussed the impact that being “cheerleader of the year” had on me and the positive pressure I dealt with on being a role model to others and teaching them that hard work and commitment lead to success. </p>

4

<p>And yes I have done them all four years. </p>

<p>Vanderbilt: Reach</p>

<p>ED is a huge boost in Vandy’s admissions. Both of my parents went there, and I’m expected to apply there RD too. </p>

<p>You’ve got a really good chance. </p>

<p>Im another hopeful Vanderbilt student! Your sports and other involvement seem awesome to me. Vanderbilt is crazy selective, but you definitely have a chance! And remember that the die is already cast in your favor, I’m sure you’ll love wherever you go :)</p>

<p>Thank you so much! Good luck to you!</p>

<p>You have really nice extracurriculars! We have similar stats. I have a 30 act and a 102 gpa! I think you have a good chance, especially for ED!</p>

<p>Bump</p>

11

<p>You’ve got a great chance esp. given your ECs, and ED can only help!
Chance me please?</p>

<p>reach due to act and a lack of out of school activities, probably a low reach actually.

<p>ED will give you a great boost, so I think you have a pretty good chance of being admitted! It may have been a reach if you hadn’t done ED. GOOD LUCK!!! :)</p>

<p>Please please please chance me! :slight_smile:

<p>Wow, your ECs are good. They stand out from all the others I’ve seen here for some reason. Maybe it’s because they’re focused? Dunno. But good! ED will be a huge help, but that’s already been said. You should have a decent or good chance at it. I wish you the best of luck!!</p>

<p>Chance back?</p>

<p>Bump, please be honest!</p>

<p>I would say that Vanderbilt is a match or slight reach school for you. The ACT is slightly lower than their average, but if you are a decent writer, you should be in good shape. Your ECs are solid. Applying ED will boost your chances. I think that you have a pretty good chance, good luck. Chance back!</p>

<p>Impressive high school transcript and you have a lot of E.C’s but do you have nay community based E.C’s you could list? If you do those will definitely increase your chances and help you stand out from the rest. </p>

<p>Chance me back
