<p>Your grades are a bit low but you have decent EC’s and you’re EDing so I think you’ll be fine. Do apply to some safety schools though.</p>

3

<p>thanks so much!!!</p>

4

<p>Shimmer is wrong, you have a very high GPA, you look good for VU.</p>

5

<p>Your stats are great, but Vandy is really affirmative action. My brother’s friends was a white male with a 4.0UW, a 34 ACT, and good ECs, but he still didn’t get into Vandy. And moonman676 is right—a 3.9 is very high.</p>

6

<p>bump…</p>

7

<p>bump again…</p>

8

<p>Why are you bumping this? By now Vandy has come out with ED decisions at least a month ago and you learned your chances.</p>

9

<p>My guess is that the OP applied EDII and decisions won’t come out until mid-February.</p>

10

<p>GCLawmom is right, I had some issues with some of my other applications and had to apply EDII (won’t hear back until february 15th)</p>

<p>Please post your results - because I think you look like your chances are great!</p>

<p>My daughter is a year behind you, hispanic midwestern female. </p>

<p>She has GPA of 3.3, with a 4.0 over her junior year. She had a bad freshman year, for reasons which can be explained. This brought down her overall GPA. She is taking ACC English and Spanish this year, ACC English, Spanish, and History Senior year.
Her EC’s are:
• Varsity Soccer
• Fencing Team
• Theater Intern – Crew Leader – Makeup-- Supervised crew of 5 members
• Marketing Team
• Yearbook–Editor - Activities section
• Concert Choir
• Book Club
• Film Club
• Junior League – “Junior” Member
• Annual Bible Camp- staff</p>

<p>Her last ACT was 30, she will re-take in April and has a tutor. What can she do to increase her chances? Anything?</p>

<p>Her school does not provide class ranking.</p>

12

<p>did you hear yet?</p>

13

<p>Is vandy really that much affirmative action?</p>
