<p>If you're freaking out about admissions, STOP!!</p>

<p>You sound a lot like the people in my current class (Class of 2011). I'm sure it will help that you've been very involved in a smaller number of things, rather than dabbing into a plethora of service projects. That will definitely show dedication, as well as decision-making qualities.</p>

<p>My only recommendation for you would be to interview with an alum, if it's offered to you. I'm pretty certain that my interview really sealed the deal for me (I came in with a 4.25 weighted, ACT 33, different leadership positions and a steady job for a few years), since I was really nothing special. Allowing someone with importance to get to know you is imperative, especially when the school is as difficult to get into as Vandy.</p>

<p>Good luck!! Keep us posted!</p>
