Club tennis year-round, varsity tennis every year, senior year captain
Work experiencing coaching youth tennis freshman and sophomore years
Started work at a restaurant summer before junior year, work ~15 hours per week through the school year to present
Play 1st chair french horn in honors band and in the orchestra every year
Also part of NHS, student government, done community service through band, and will be inducted into Tri-M music society this coming year
Recs should all be ok as I asked my APUSH teacher and AP Chem teachers who I both liked (and liked me) and did well in their classes, also guidance rec should be decent as I’ve spoken with him a few times and is very nice

Just visited last week and loved everything about it – Nashville, the campus, and the people seemed awesome. Now I have my heart set on Vandy ED1 and need to get in lol

I really do think you have a shot at it. Your scores and gpa are great, and reflect the applicants that do get accepted. The only recommendation I have is showing some extra demonstrative interest and emailing the admissions officer and asking some legitimate questions about the undergraduate experience. Hopefully, that helps them remember you by name basis which helps your chances.

Thanks for the advice! I hadn’t really thought about that. I was definitely planning on an interview this fall as well

That is a smart decision. I just interviewed for WashU, as I am thinking about ED’ing there. I wish you the best of luck buddy, these next few months are gonna be nerve wracking!
