chances at vandy

<p>Hi I posted something about if I could get into the Vanderbilt Engage program (for medicine) a while ago, but now I'm just wondering if I can get into vanderbilt. So here are my stats:</p>

<p>*I am an Asian Indian from one of the best high schools in oregon (won top AP school award this year) and am top 10 in a 500+ class.</p>

<p>*Freshman year:
Lit 9-A, A with honors both sem
Spanish 1-A,A
Social Studies-A,A
Health 1 (req)-A
PE (req)-A
Adv. Algebra 2-A, A
SAT Verbal prep-A
SAT math prep-A
10th Grade Science-A, A with honors both sem</p>

<p>*Sophomore Year (really messed up):
Lit 10-A, A with honors
AP Chem- B, A
Precalc-A, B
Social Studies-B (note: can I explain a grade anywhere because this grade was ridiculous), A
Physics 2-A,A
Spanish 2-A,A
Band-A,A (needed for an EC)
Health 2-A (req)
PE-A (req) </p>

<p>*I'm projecting to finish high school with around a 3.7 or 3.6 UW...maybe even 3.5 worst case senario in IB diploma (aka f-ing hard) classes.</p>

<p>*Varsity tennis 4 years
*Science Team 4 years
*World Quest Trivia 4 years
*Science Club VP
*Math Club VP
*Portland Youth Philharmonic 3 years
*National Youth Leadership Forum in Medicine Nominee
*National Honor Roll
*Mathfest Algebra 2 1st place fresh year
*OIMT Participant Fresh Year
*Mathfest Participant sophomore year
*Oregon Museum of Science and Industry Rising Star Program (will have 150+ hours done)
*Mathcounts Tutor (about 30+ volunteer hours)
*expecting around 2000-2100 (1300-1400 on old) on SAT, 30+ on ACT</p>

<p>let me know if I can get in :)</p>

<p>I'd say that you stand a decent shot...you have great extra curriculars and neither your test scores or GPA seem to be a huge issue...</p>

<p>I don't know if you would be able to get the ENGAGE status, but I'd say admission to undergrad you have a fair chance.</p>

<p>my overall gpa is probably somewhere in between a 3.5 and 3.7 unweighted. I am taking all IB Higher level classes (with the exception of math, which I am taking Standard Level)</p>

<p>SATs:
700 - Math
670 - CR
640 - Writing
610 - Math 1 (I dont know whether to send this or not, if they accept january SATs i think i can easily bring it up to a 700)</p>

<p>I take russian classes in school, have taken a summer russian course at UChicago over the summer (which i got an A- in that I will send also).</p>

<p>Do i stand chance at vandy ED2?
is ED2 harder to get into than ED1?
I hear that all the rejected ivy kids apply there, therefore making the pool harder, is this true or at all accurate?</p>

<p>by the way I attend a NYC competitive private school that does not rank
I am a white male with a family income of $200K+</p>

<p>am i missing any other credentials?</p>

<p>I didnt do so well my freshman and sophmore year, together a 2.4 -my junior i have been doing much better like a 3.4 so far. I have positions in multiple clubs, and have alot of community service. How much will Vandy look at the improvement in my GPA? if at all. I’ve herd the school just “crunches numbers.” If i apply there i would go ED and have an interview. I had a medical issue that just got resolved this year which affected my grades which i would explain. Im still taking but do i have a chance at all getting in?</p>
