<p>I don’t understand all you (and by ‘you’ I mean all the super extra overachievers who doubt they’ll get into an Ivy League or something of the sort). If anything can stand a bit of improvement, it’s your test scores, but they’re still pretty good. Your GPA is also a bit lower than the majority of students, but not so much that it’s make a difference.</p>
<p>I’ll say high match, just not to get your hopes up- honestly, with top ranking uni’s like that, a lot of luck is involved.</p>
<p>Yes, I would say that your chances are very good. Your biggest weakness is your ACT and that says a lot because I think they will be satisfied with your ACT. EC’s are good too, I wouldn’t stress about it…Just make sure you write a very strong essay. </p>
<p>FYI, Vanderbilt does not super score the ACT, only the SAT. You look solid to me (my son is a current student there). Did you participate in an alumni interview?</p>
<p>I think you have a very good shot. It looks like your ECs are very good, which gives you a good chance to shine through in your essays. Good luck! </p>
<p>id say youre definitley in. Your dedication to irish dancing, coupled with your excellent SAT score(although if improved can help you even further) form a deadly double that will bound to grab the adcoms’ attention! </p>
<p>thank you everyone! i did do an alumni interview because i interview well and i think it went great!! it can only help me so id say that is a plus! anyone else the days are ticking by less than a month till everyone gets their letters!! :)</p>
<p>thank you very much! I have been insecure about my GPA but my first quarter grades were all As in mostly APs so hopefully that will help! Chancing back now!</p>
