<p>Your stats are strong, I think you have a good shot.</p>
<p>You will more than likely be admitted and might receive some merit money.</p>
<p>thanks for the input! i'm really hoping to get in, it seems like a great school/nice location. i thought that merit aid was mostly given to top 1%, above 1500s. what kind of merit scholarships could i qualify for?</p>
<p>If you are named a National Merit Finalist in Feb. and you matriculate to Vanderbilt, you will automatically receive a National Merit Scholarship even if you aren't named to one independently. For S in class of 06, it was $5000per year.</p>
<p>In with likely merit aid</p>
<p>I think your research experience will help a lot.</p>
<p>You're definitely in. You also probably qualify for the Honors program and other merit scholarships, which are listed on Vandy's website. I definitely recommend applying for them.</p>
