<p>Hello!</p>

<p>I am a MD junior and I have a 3.43 unweighted GPA and a 3.6 weighted GPA. I go to a very competitive high school with a school-wide average unweighted GPA of 3.3. I received a 2150 on the SAT (planning to retake it again).</p>

<p>I have been a avid equestrian for my whole life and have competed competitively for 7 years. I am and officer for 5 clubs (two of which I started). I have taken Photography for 3 years and plan to do AP next year. I am on track to get the Virginia Governor's Seal for my Work with Community Service. I have won awards for my work in the Junior Optimist Club and Social International Club. I have been the recipient of numerous Horsemanship Awards across the east coast.</p>

<p>My biggest regret is when I was a underclassman I didn't care about school so I got a 3.05 (unweighted freshman year) and a 3.4 (unweighted sophomore year). This year I have a 3.8 unweighted and a 4.15 weighted.</p>

<p>Would VB take me?</p>

<p>Vanderbilt: Reach</p>

<p>However, if you feel like you need to attend graduate school for whatever reason, you may be better off trying your hand at Vanderbilt for grad school.</p>

I’d say Vanderbilt is a very high reach for you; many/most students accepted have at least a 3.8 unweighted and over 4.0 weighted. You do have an upward trend though, which could potentially help you a bit.
