<p>I'm a junior male from Tennessee. I have been telling my parents I want to go to Sewanee for awhile, but my father (spent 2 years at Vandy but transferred to UT-Knoxville) wants me to take another look at Vanderbilt. I'm just worried about whether or not I could get in, seeing as my GPA isn't quite as hot as it could/should be.</p>
<p>Academics:
-GPA: 3.6 weighted (I realize this is pathetic, freshman/sophomore years were a waste)
-Class rank: My school doesn't rank; I would say top 20 of my class of ~100
-Curriculum: 4 years French/English/Math/Lab Science/Social Studies; Bible is a required elective every year and I've had other electives every year
2 APs junior year, planning to take 3 APs next year (or 4 if Government/Econ is considered 2)(my school is limited academically, I take honors and "advanced" when available)</p>
<p>Scores:
-No ACT or SAT yet; I scored a 214 on the PSAT (70CR/74M/70W)(highest in my school, right on the line for NMSF in Tennessee so we'll see next September)</p>
<p>Extracurricular/other:
-varsity swimming, 9th-11th
-club swimming for a year (very time-consuming)
-varsity Scholars' Bowl team, 10th-11th
-Christian Literature Club (treasurer)
-Chem Club
-Chess Club
-National Honor Society
-15 hours of service/year (required by school)
-annual mission trip to French Canada (I lead worship and play with little kids)
-nationally ranked in the French Grand Concours, 10th grade
-part of Duke's Talent Identification Program in 7th grade, scored a 1050 on the SAT (520 math/530 verbal)</p>
<p>Intended major: Economics with an English minor (The plan is to go on to law school)</p>
<p>Also, I'm a decent writer and my essays will hopefully reflect that, ha.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
