<p>I am also sending a combined art and music supplement which I am extremely confident about that includes a movie of my best artwork in the past year with a recording of myself playing a difficult Mozart piece that lasts almost ten minutes. I know a lot relies on this supplement for me.</p>
<p>What do you think??</p>
<p>Your ECs and art involvement all seem very impressive. That alone should make you a competitive applicant. Your SAT scores however aren’t stellar. If you can raise those some, I think you’d have a very good shot at admission. Also, I think the art and music supplement are great ideas. They will really make you standout. Good luck!</p>
<p>I think Vanderbilt could be the perfect school for me, however I have a few questions about the admission criteria: What is the average un-weighted GPA accepted? How does Vanderbilt view improvements in GPA? </p>
<p>I had a medical condition that affected my schoolwork tremendously my freshman and sophomore year leaving me with around a 2.4, this year however I have it under control and have my grades have improved significantly (for this year i have more like a 3.4). I’m still taking ACTs (im a junior) but have been doing well on those. I’m curently not in any honors classes (although at a private school), next year I plan on applying for multiple honors. </p>

<p>I know I’m not the tradition student who applies to vandy -could that somehow help me? or will it only hurt me? will that stop me from being accepted? I’ve also herd Vandy sometimes looks for a larger jewish population -do you thinking being in touch with the Hillel will help? </p>
<p>I would go on an interview and apply ED. Is there anything else I can do to up my chances of being accepted?</p>
<p>do you think i have a shot??</p>
