<p>Your stats definately put you in the competitive pool of candidates. What school are you looking to apply to, as each one has slightly different standards.</p>

<p>i'm looking at the college of engineering</p>

<p>In that case, your numbers and ECs are fine. But when you fill out your application, dont list activities just to list them. If you really didn't do much with chess club, dont list it... admissions officers will think you spread yourself too thin if you list 54986 activites. Other than that, be sure to write fantastic essays. In the end, I think they are what got me admitted to vandy (I am an engineer as well). Good Luck, vandy is such a great place to go to college!</p>

<p>do you guys think that vandy is a match or reach for me? Thx</p>

<p>I think Vandy is one of the few schools where the College of Engineering is easier to get into than the Arts & sciences. I think you've got a good chance.</p>
