<p>The only negative I see is your SAT scores are a little low. Your grades, AP scores and EC’s look good. Vandy has become very hard to predict and it is hard to determine if somebody will get in. You may want to take another try at the SAT or take the ACT. Some students do better on one over the other. Your resume is very impressive and you should be proud of your accomplishments. Best of luck.</p>
