<p>Hi guys, please chance me for Vandy?</p>

<p>Stats:</p>

<p>International Student from Pakistan.
Not applying for aid
SAT I: 2070 - 750 CR, 660 M, 660 W (retook in May, hopefully much better score)
GPA: not calculated at my school but if it were it'd be 3.87 UW
GCSEs: 11 A's
Class Rank: Again not calculated, per se. Was 8/176 in the GCSE results at my school. Definitely top 10% if not Top 5%.
My school sends a great deal of people to Ivies and other top universities each year. This year we had Princeton, Duke, Northwestern, Brown, Middlebury, amongst others. Last year, we had Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Penn, Dartmouth, Cornell, Chicago, Vanderbilt, etc.
Essay: I topped in my school in English Language, and I won the award for best essay writer so I think they'll be reasonably good, hopefully.
Recs: Will be very good, fingers crossed
I'm President of the Drama Club, Lead Role in the Play, done 3 years of debating, won numerous tournaments, shortlisted for national team, MUNs nationally and internationally, won the best english declamation speaker and parliamentary debator awards at school. I've been a regular freelancer for a national newspaper for the past year. Chief Editor of literary magazine.
on the school tennis team this year.</p>

<p>I am an international student from Bangladesh, and will be attending Vanderbilt this fall.</p>

<p>I think you SAT score is a bit low. Most international students have close to perfect scores in Math, so you might wanna work on that. 11 A’s in GCSE is certainly impressive, but what would matter more is your AS level and A2 level predicted grades (if you are continuing with that curriculum). I have no idea how class rank is used for international students, so cant comment on that…</p>

<p>As for ECs, you are set. The leadership positions will be appreciated by adcoms, and you seem to make the most of your time. I would advise you work really hard for the essays, because the essay will make or break the application… Good Luck…</p>

<p>SAT is low. High rank in a school that sends that many students to top 20 schools is a good sign.</p>

<p>Thank you guys! Yeah the SAT is low, and I retook it in May. Hoping for at least a 100 point hike. Oh, and if the freelancing position is a paid one, is that an advantage to my CV?</p>
