<p>I'd say Vandy is a match/low reach. I know people who've been accepted with a lower gpa, and who haven't been accepted with a higher one. I'd say focus on your ec's in your application and you'll have a good shot.</p>

<p>I know that Asian are almost never an URM, but Vandy only has a 7% Asian student population (to give perspective, African Americans are at 9%). I know it's kinda reaching -- but will it help?</p>

<p>hmm "bump"</p>

<p>yeah... definitely gonna have to "bump" this again</p>
