Chances of getting A Full Ride???

Chance Me / Match Me!

Hey guys, I have been looking at colleges and I love Vanderbilt, I was wondering what my chances were for getting a full ride, anyone have any idea? My hypothetical stats:
UW:3.8 W:4.7
SAT: 1570
SAT math: 800
SAT Chemistry: 800
ACT: 36
AP test grades: 5s for Chinese, HuG, World History, Chem, Psychology, Macroeconomics, Calculus AB , Statistics, Art History, USH, APES, 4s for AP Lang and Lit and Spanish. and a sad sad 3 on physics 1.
I had all As except for one b per semester in freshman year, two b’s and three c’s the first semester of sophomore year (I left for one month because family issues, I was kicked out of my own home.) and then all A’s after that. I don’t have any extra curriculars really but I have done internships in Beijing for a month a time for two summers and I taught the kids in a poor part of China for the same amount of time each summer. I also have great teachers recommendations.

What I am asking is what are the chances of me getting a full tuition to Vanderbilt University? I live in state and my mom attended there too on a full ride for her MBA. Do you guys know of any other good colleges that I have chances of getting a full ride to? I am trilingual if that helps. Thanks!

Your stats are in the ballpark for Need Blind/Meets Full Needs schools. Their idea of what you need might be different than yours, but on the whole, you’d have a better chance of getting in to one of those (and getting most of your costs covered) than winning a full ride scholarship. You’ll get a lot of suggestions from the folks on these boards, but it all starts with what you can contribute. How much can you afford, including loans or Pell Grant (if eligible), summer jobs, etc.?
