<p>Apply ED2 if Vandy is your top choice.</p>

<p>I’d recommend taking the sat and act again and aim for 2200+ or 33+.</p>

<p>What’s your GPA? Try to get your ACT/SAT up to at least 33 or 2200, and apply ED2! Also, you can write about your volunteer hours in the additional information section on the Common App. Good luck!</p>

<p>I’d recommend getting the GPA up slightly if you can. Your GPA also factors largely in the admissions process. Your ECs look fine.</p>
