<p>Hey guys, sorry for another chance thread...I usually refrain from doing these but I'm actually quite curious about mine. </p>

<p>I'm a Bangladeshi-American Male, Goes to an Expensive Mid-Atlantic Private School
3.88 UW GPA, extremely tough course load. (this year im taking Calc 3, Physics C, Euro, AP Latin among others).
2220 SAT (750 W, 750 R, 720 M)
770-US SAT 2
730 - Math 2 Subj. Test
33 Act- 35 writing, 34 reading, 34 Math, 30 Science</p>

<p>I have taken 4 college classes, 2 at Stanford and 2 at Penn. Received A's in three of them and a B in one. I got a really good recc. from a history professor at Penn. </p>

<p>I've done 4 plays, including 2 musicals, so far in high school. I'm captain of the mock trial team, president of young democrats, math league team, and a few other activities. </p>

<p>My intended major is econ, history, econ/history, or poli sci. I may double major or maybe add a math minor im not sure yet. </p>

<p>My couneslor said that Vandy is a reach for me because of the sheer number of applicants, what do you guys think?? I was really hoping that it would be more of a match.</p>

<p>I would agree with your guidance counselor that it is not guaranteed admissions, therefore a reach. I think there was someone rejected ED who had taken college courses, who also had good test scores and good extracurriculars. You should look through that thread. I don’t remember the details. But I still think you have a better than average chance.</p>

<p>thanks for the reply. Ok, so I guess that Vandy is a reach for me, but its a decent chance that I will get in depending on essay and other intangibles?</p>
