<p>with a 33 i'd say you're definitely in. with a 30 i'd say you have a very good shot.</p>

3

<p>you should also take the SAT I. there's a good chance you'll get scores similar to those of your SAT II's. Taking all that into account, I'd say you're in shoo-in.</p>

<p>thanks yall!
Vandy is definitely one of my top top choices, I love the HOD major! I think it is so neat.
Nashville is a great town.
Just out of curiosity, what are the best sororities on campus?</p>

<p>vandy is a great school, hope you can get in:</p>

<p>best sororities:
tri-delt, theta, kkg, kappa delta</p>

<p>theta and chi-o are both pretty southern since you are from ky</p>

<p>thanks!
i have a friend who just graduated from vandy who was a theta.</p>

<p>anyone else have any advice/ways to improve my chances?
does it help that i am a legacy?</p>

<p>Very much so. As you will see on the application, legacies can maximize their the "juice" they can get out of that by applying ED. Wait. That may have been another college, but it's just as valid at vandy. I really don't see how you can make your chances of getting admitted any better than they really are. Are your parents active alumni? Do they visit campus often?</p>
