Your ACT is fine, fits in the middle 50%. Maybe try to figure out how you are gonna brand yourself. Being premed is fine, but there are a ton of premeds here. And your AP scores a bit lackluster, but I’m not sure how much weight they will hold anyway. Did you not take any Subject Tests? I would take Math Level 2, bio, or chem (probably 2 of 3).

I took the bio and math 2 tests but I did very poorly and scored in the 600’s so I definitely won’t be sending the scores in.

Considering your math sequence, subject tests and and AP scores, premed at Vandy might be too challenging for you. FWIW. D has 5s and 800s on bio and chem and had to work hard to get As. The average is C plus and a lot of smart kids can’t keep good GPA at Vandy premed.
