<p>How about your SAT/ACT scores? Rank?</p>

<p>Did you hold any leadership positions?</p>

<p>Young Democrats AND Young Republicans??!!</p>

<p>We need your scores if you want a legit opinion</p>

<p>SAT/ACT:
2210/2400 on my SAT's, and a 32 on my ACT's.</p>

<p>Well your SAT scores are very good (upper half of Vandy admits) and your GPA seems very good as well (although I dont totally understand the scale you are on), you have excellent EC's with academics and athletics. If you wrote decent essays and your teachers wrote good recs I think you hav a very good chance.</p>

<p>Do you have a rank or approximate class standing?</p>

<p>About 25ish/350.</p>

<p>Top 10%? In that case you have a great chance</p>

<p>Okay, but saying you are a part of Young Democrats and Young Republicans is a little contradictory. To me, that says that you were just a part of the clubs to get credit for being in clubs. My suggestion is that you just specify one of those two clubs. (I'd say Young Democrats because much of the student population is already conservative, while the staff is more liberal)</p>
