<p>im gonna say doubtful unless your SAT goes up</p>

<p>From the way you capitalized your race, I'm guessing you think that it will be the factor that gets you in. I strongly advise you to stop thinking that way, because you'll be surprised when you get your decisions (especially if you're thinking about HPYSM). Being an URM helps you only a little - it doesn't create miracles (usually), lol.</p>

<p>I don't mean to offend, I just wanted to make sure you aren't thinking that way. However on the contrary, Vandy's probably a reach for you... I don't think it'd be impossible to get in. Your CR + W scores are on the low side, but your math score is good. Besides, maybe your score will go up... make sure to update this thread on the 25th :) (I retook them too, so good luck to both you AND me!!!). GPA is a bit low but since you've taken all honors & APs, rigor will help you out.</p>

<p>My black friend with a 3.7-ish GPA and 2380 got REJECTED from UPenn. URM helps but it won't carry you.</p>
