<p>What about scholarship chances? They seem really tough to get, and I probably won’t be able to go unless I get a full ride.</p>

4

<p>You are an outstanding student! Work on you essay.</p>

<p>I’m not sure, but I got a pamphlet from Vandy last week and it seems they’re VERY generous with need-based aid… I’d assume you mean merit-based though? But with a 35 SAT, a 4.0, and a class rank of 1, you’re looking very competitive, especially if you can get recruited for sports, as you seem to excel in the sports you participate in.</p>

6

<p>Yes it would be Merit-based that I’m looking for. And I hope you’re right!</p>

<p>you have a great shot at getting in. and vandy is great with financial aid. seems like you could get some merit scholarships too!</p>
