<p>Hey. I am a Female senior at a small private school in Los Angeles that does not rank. I really messed up in my freshman year, but got over it and started doing really well afterward. My weighted GPA 10-12 is 4.11, my weighted GPA 9-12 is 3.7, my unweighted GPA 10-12 is 3.7 and my unweighted GPA 9-12 is 3.3. My SAT score was 2320, with an 800 on writing, 770 on CR and 750 on Math. My SAT 2's were 730 on math2, 680 on Spanish and 690 on lit. I am co-president of student council, have traveled to mexico to build houses, do walks for aids and diabetes and such, tutor kids at my school, and have been on varsity tennis for 4 years. Have a job at the grocery store, and am doing an independent study class on education. Writing a 40 page paper for it. I am an interesting case, as I went to drug rehab and am being open about that in my apps. I am making it more about my parents' divorce though, and am using that to explain my poor grades and trip to rehab. Im not making excuses though, it's just true. I am sober and everything now, taking ALL honors classes, really pulling myself up. was wondering if you could give me any insight as to how my chances are. thanks.</p>
<p>Well I think you have a very good chance with those SATs and that your all your ECs. Since you put together such an impressive 10-12 I really don't see an adcom holding freshman year against you, it may even help because it shows how hard you must have worked and how you have matured since then. I think you are doing the right thing being open about your mistakes but its important that you don't make excuses, which it looks like you already understand. Overall I think you are a very strong applicant and I hope to see you in the fall! Did you apply ED?</p>
<p>nope. didnt apply ED, just becuase there are so many great schools I am applying to and I couldnt put one before all the others. vanderbilt, however, is amazing.</p>
<p>and thanks for the help.</p>
