Chances at Vandy?..

<p>I live in Florida and I'm a junior white male planning to major in either Economics or Applied Math with computer science.</p>

<p>Here are my stats:
4.0 unweighted, 4.65 weighted
7/537 class rank
8 AP classes by the time I graduate</p>

<p>33 Composite ACT
33 math
33 english
33 reading
31 science</p>

<p>1990 SAT (retook today but probably won't submit)
630 math
660 reading
700 writing</p>

<p>EC's are okay but not amazing:
2 baseball varsity letters
Mu alpha theta
NHS
120-140 volunteer hours
Working 16-20 hours a week as manager of a concession stand
Co-founder of fantasy sports club (yes I love football so count me in)
Department awards in physics and government</p>

<p>First of all, what are my chances of acceptance?</p>

<p>Second, I won't qualify for FAFSA financial aid or anything most likely, but would I have a chance to get some kind of aid?</p>

<p>Thanks everyone!</p>

<p>Better go ED. My D got wait listed this year with numbers similar to or better than yours. By the time ED and minority classes are filled, there are precious few spots left for RD applicants.</p>

<p>@sharkmo ED isn’t really what I want to do for Vandy because I’m not sure I want to go there. There are other schools I like as well </p>

<p>My D loved Vandy, but then visited Duke and Stanford and fell in love all over again. By the time she wasted EA on Stanford and got rejected by Duke, she realized too late that Vandy was her dream school. You will be indirectly handicapped by your race (minority notification occurs well before that of RD), so I’d suggest you establish a favorite, at which you should go ED. If you don’t get accepted ED at that school, then you’d still have time to apply to Vanderbilt.</p>

<p>@sharkmo but the only schools I would need to use ED on are schools that would probably be too expensive to attend, so if I get accepted, I would be forced to pay a lot of money to go to college.</p>

<p>To get a ballpark estimate of what you would pay if you were accepted at Vanderbilt use their Net Price Calculator. Run your family’s numbers there and see what it says. <a href=“Net Price Calculator”>Net Price Calculator; </p>

<p>@GoDorezx2 I have already. No aid</p>
