<p>Hello everyone, I am considering applying early decision to the Peabody School of Education at Vanderbilt University. I am interested in the Human and Organizational Development Major. I go to a relatively prestigious high school in New York City and I have a 3.71 gpa UW and a 4.01 W. I have an ACT score of 30, super-scored I have a 32 but they do not superscore.(I am going to take it again in the fall) I took the hardest possible schedule I am going to graduate with 8 AP courses, my senior year I am taking AP Calc, AP Physics, AP Macro, and AP Lit along with Latin and the mandatory religion course. </p>

<p>After school I play sports: cross country, track, baseball (I am probably going to be captain of track). I am on Campus Ministry, I am editor of the newspaper, officer of Model UN, in NHS, 150+ hours of community service including a trip to South America. I was a tour guide for prospective students my first two years. And I live over an hour from my high school. I am a lifeguard in the summer. I am a white male in case that matters.</p>

<p>Hopefully I have a relatively decent chance, personally I think i need to raise my ACT score but what do you think? I am also interested in BC, Holy Cross, Wake Forest, Georgetown, Northeastern, Michigan, and Villanova.</p>

<p>Vandy will be a long shot - your GPA and test scores are both in the bottom quartile for their freshman class. 8 AP classes is commendable, but it is far from exceptional for Vandy. Your EC are also solid but nothing to make up for your weak areas.</p>

<p>Georgetown and Michigan (OOS, I assume) will similarly be long shots. You should be competitive at all the others on your list.</p>
