<p>Too bad your SAT I is so low. Also, when do you intend to take the SAT IIs? Do you have any science clubs or awards to add to this picture that could help?</p>

<p>Not sure about Vandy’s stats. Did you visit?</p>

<p>vandy is a great school</p>

<p>Can you post your individual SAT I scores? Math needs to be high for engineering</p>

<p>Based on your current stats, I would say 50% chance RD and 90% ED</p>

<p>Basically, you are in for ED, good luck</p>

<p>in612, my SAT subscores are: 690 CR, 690 M, and 780 W. & i know, my math should be much higher :frowning: i’m really hoping it goes up in october. thanks for the percentages though</p>

<p>limabeans, i’m going to be taking the sat II’s in november. vanderbilt is an amazing school and it’s definitely my top choice but i’m not sure if i can do ED bc of financial aid so i just want to see if i can risk just doing RD. as far as science-related awards/clubs, that Silver Knights nominee thing may be in science, but i don’t find out yet (you’re nominated on the premise of subject area).i could never join a science club bc they always conflicted with other clubs. i talk about my passion for science in my essay and am getting a recommendation from a science teacher who knows how much i love science, if that means anything…</p>

<p>I don’t think you should apply as a prospective engineering major unless you have math scores in the 95th percentile.</p>

6

<p>lobzz, i agree with that but my math score is in the 93rd percentile right now so i’m hoping, with my october sat, i should get into the 95th percentile</p>

<p>i disagree with the posters above- vandy LOVES female engineers, especially ED. i think you have a great shot, just try to get your SAT up!</p>
