<p>wow come on. 80 views and not one reply? Doesn't anyone want to make me feel bad about myself and say I have no shot :)</p>

<p>omg wow! Now its 114 and still no responses! Come on! I really need your feedback please!</p>

<p>recruitment is top notch especially among absolutely any southeastern companies.</p>

<p>your numbers are roughly average with the ACT being below average for college of a&s (i'm assuming that's your interest)</p>

<p>your ec's are average. you'll need to push dedication they focus on quality over quantity. tennis captain would certainly help you out</p>

<p>keep it up but definitely room for significant improvement.</p>

<p>well I thought I had some dedication because I've done quite a few of them for 3+ years, so yeah. But is Vanderbilt a huge reach, because I'm not sure if its worth applying if its going to be a gigantic reach when I can get into michigan with a lot more ease (I'm not saying it will be easy, so please don't think I'm being cocky) and get as good if not better recruiting at top firms.</p>

<p>obviously you have dedication, emphasize that in the application</p>

<p>no it won't be a huge reach but the wild cards will definitely be qualitative i.e. essays recs etc</p>

<p>Continuing with Model UN will allow you to look like you are dedicated with the activities you pursue.</p>
