<p>Asian male. Don't know if that really helps....</p>

<p>I'm not exactly sure how Vandy calculate's GPA, because our school has honors points and stuff for honors and AP classes. but..</p>

<p>From 9-11- 3.9 weighted 3.8 unweighted
I didnt add .5 to any honors... just to my APs</p>

<p>I think its a tough course load, but i'm not really the judge. All honors and APs with the exception of 1 that didn't have honors.</p>

<p>Rank 85/615 - Its a really competitive school- i have a 95 numerical average... but I am trying to jump to top 65 this semester.</p>

<p>I've taken/taking 7 APs
-AP World-3
-Ap Chem-4
-Ap bio-5
-AP calc AB
-AP microecon
-AP macroecon
-AP Physics B</p>

<p>All my other courses are honors with the exception of two which they didn't have honors.</p>

<p>no shot.........</p>

<p>It would be close in my opinion. Take the ACT to see if you can improve your reading scores. When you write your essay write it with passion on a topic you believe in. Admissions wants to know about you. Good Luck.</p>

<p>anyone else? bump?</p>

<p>I would definitely encourage you to apply and would say you have a reasonbly good shot. SAT scores are only average for Vandy, but GPA is okay, your EC's show some leadership, you have done research and attended prestigious programs, you're a minority, and your dad is an alumnus. Good luck.</p>
