Colleges and Universities A-Z Vanderbilt University

<p>Vanderbilt is definitely my top choice for college, and I am planning on applying to ED I. </p>

<p>I plan to dual major in PolySci and History, to go to Law School.
I'm currently a Junior, so I'll make reasonable estimates for senior year. </p>

<p>GPA UW: 3.93 (will be higher when the semester ends)
GPA W: 4.5 (will be higher when the semester ends)
Class Rank: 5 of 332
Counting senior year, 12 AP classes:</p>

<p>Sophomore Year: AP Euro (5), AP Microecon (4) and AP Macroecon (4)
Junior Year: APUSH, AP Psych, AP Bio, AP Lang and Comp.
Senior Year: AP Physics B, AP Human Geo, AP French, AP Lit and Comp., AP Gov., and AP Calc. AB</p>

<p>All A's in AP classes</p>

<p>ACT:
Composite: 33
English: 34
Math: 31
Reading: 34
Science: 32</p>

<p>I know Vanderbilt requires writing, and I'll have that as of June 8th. </p>

<p>Leadership:
2 Year Debate Team Captain (as captain, I run most things)
4 Year Academic Team Captain (2 years JV, 2 years Varsity)
Fox Valley Leadership Conference (only like 20 kids from the school go)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars:
4 Years Debate (at least 7 distinct awards from this)
4 Years Academic Team (at least 4 distinct awards from this)
National Honor Society (inducted like last week, as my school only starts recruiting junior year)
Potential for an advisory board for the principal next year </p>

<p>Awards:
Led Debate Team (as captain)to 4th in state this year
Led Academic Team (as captain) to 1st in Conference Last Year (JV)
AP Scholar
AP Scholar with Distinction (as of next year)</p>

<p>Community Service:
25 or so hours to this point
Probable 60 more over the summer</p>

<p>Recommendations:
Should be excellent, will get at least one from debate coach, who knows me well, and could write about leadership. </p>

<p>Essays:
I'm a stronger writer, and will start this summer, so they should be great.</p>

<p>I think your chances look pretty good! Keep up what you have. Maybe try to bump the ACT score up a little to make yourself more competitive.</p>

<p>Awesome. Thanks for the reply. I am retaking the ACT in June, as I need writing. I’m planning on studying my *** off for it, in order to get a 34 or higher. It will only have been my second test, so I see a 34 or higher as a distinct possibility.</p>

<p>Bump. I will chance you back.</p>

<p>Why don’t you check the official regular decision forum? I think it’s the best indicator of who got in, and how. You can easily compare to yourself against stats posted there.</p>

<p>I believe there was one for ED as well.</p>
