<p>Essays were pretty decent, I've been told I'm an excellent writer. I wrote about my Study abroad trip and in the other one I wrote about my web programming skills and experiences</p>

<p>Recommendations are good, I have a few coming from a Biology teacher, a Physics teacher and an English teacher</p>

<p>Theres a few other ECs that I didn't list on here, but those were the most important ones I thought.</p>

<p>for Vanderbilt, coming from Indiana is definitely a plus. and your math sats are in their range although the reading is a littleeee low. You being valedictorian good too! Good luck with Notre Dame, my best friend is applying there too!</p>

<p>It’s impossible to say you will definitely get in, but uhhhhhhhhhh well, you’ll almost definitely get in. To be rejected, you would have to have written HORRIBLE essays or have been convicted of some kind of crime, or just have horrible luck. All of your statistics are above the Vanderbilt average (not sure on the reading) and you have a LOT of significant extra-curriculars. You should get into Notre Dame, too, although it’s probably tougher than Vandy</p>

<p>Your SAT/ACT may be your downfall.</p>
