<p>If there’s such a thing as a shoe-in, you’ve got to be one. I’d be very surprised if you didn’t get in.</p>

3

<p>Thanks man, but i’m just worried about the SAT score because they only use your double score for admission. I just wish I could be evaluated on my 790 writing also! lol oh well though</p>

4

<p>I hear ya, your SAT is right at the 25th percentile. I think they will see your high GPA and especially AP scores. None of us are guarantees, still. Best of luck to you! I’m applying for BME as well.</p>

5

<p>False, the 25-75th percentile for those attending the engineering school is 1440-1570. Your SAT I really hurts you, but the 800 Math SAT II and 5 on AP Lang should help compensate. Normally I’d say very low chance, but you have a lot of things going for you. Applying ED1 might just be the push you need to get in. Good luck!</p>

6

<p>Yeah, i’m worried about the SAT double score. If i wouldve known they only cared about double score i wouldnt have even studied for writing lol. But I hope PAVE and the recommendation i got from one of the former deans/professors and ED1 can help.</p>

7

<p>where are you from? and what type of school do you attend?</p>

8

<p>I go to a large public high school from South Florida that’s ranked #49 by the Washington Post</p>

9

<p>wanderers, where did you get this information? Vandy doesn’t release the percentages for individual schools, and my adcom said the difference between schools was hardly significant.</p>

10

<p>it’s public information on vanderbilt’s website. ill be intentionally coy since handing out the answers to a test is boring. expend some effort and you’ll find it. hint: it’s not in the admissions section</p>

11

<p>I see on the engineering page that the median SAT is 1464…interesting. I applied ED with a 1400, we’ll see what happens. (last year I was waitlisted RD with a 31)</p>
