Double Legacy-both of my parents went to Vandy
My main focuses this year are going to be my SAT and getting more volunteer hours. There might be more I’m forgetting but I think that’s it! Once again, vandy is my dream school so if anyone has any suggestions for things i need to add or fine-tune on my resume please lmk!! Hopefully the double legacy will help me if i’m lacking in one area.
