Tell ~~~~~ that Vanderbilt REALLY looks at a student's service, and his personal statement . Competition is tough, since we only admit around 350 students each year. Last year our composite average SAT score in the E-School was 1450, and all students were in the top 5 % of their class. He must keep his grades up, and do well on the SAT.

<p>It will be close based on your SAT scores, you might want to try the ACT. Some people do better on them. Another good thing is that you are a female. Vandy has about a 45/55 split girls to boys. Also of that 350 number that is for all of the engineering school, just not biomedical. But BME is the largest of the four engineering divisions. You may want to think over being a BME because there is a lot of chemistry and biology as part of your core classes and you look like you are a little weak in Bio SATII scores. Good Luck.</p>
