<p>I'm a senior looking to apply to Vanderbilt in the fall. I'm from an extremely competitive Catholic high school in Michigan.</p>

<p>I visited in the spring and really loved it there.</p>

<p>Let me know what you think.</p>

<p>STATS:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.94W (upward trend) (Our grading scale is quite a bit tougher than public schools)</p>

<p>RANK: 27/153</p>

<p>ACT: 31 with a 10 on writing, will be taking it again this fall</p>

<p>SAT: Never took it. Should I?</p>

<p>EXTRA CIRCULARS:</p>

<p>4 years of cross country (hopefully captain senior year)
4 (all varsity) years of lacrosse (captain for senior year)
2 (varsity) years of skiing (Rookie of the year freshmen year then most improved my sophomore year)
Volunteer all the time at a local hospital and around the city
Yearbook Editor (this will be my third year)
Core Team Member (we are solely in charge of planning the senior 3 day retreat)
National Honors Society Member
French Club
National Youth Leadership Forum on Medicine and on Collegiate Success
Tutor in several subjects</p>

<p>Lots of honors classes so far and senior year I'm taking AP Econ, AP Calc, AP Bio, and Honors French 4</p>

<p>We are not allowed to take AP classes until our junior year</p>

<p>State: Michigan
School type: Private (Catholic)
Gender: Male</p>

<p>No Legacy there (Mom went to Michigan Tech and Dad went to Northern Michigan(for undergrad))</p>

<p>And I'm white if that matters for anything.</p>

<p>Could I get accepted? (Assuming I write awesome essays and get great recommendations?)</p>

<p>You should post on the Vanderbilt site, not ND’s.</p>

<p>Probably also wants to apply to ND, copied it from a Vanderbilt thread, and forgot to change the school name.</p>

<p>If that is the case, I would advise you to take the SAT in addition to the ACT retake. Otherwise, we can’t really make a call unless you post your unweighted GPA, as weighting systems are subjective and alien to those in other systems.</p>

<p>I wonder if people do all these activities because they are passionate about them or just for the sake of beimg accepted to an elite college…</p>
