<p>i peer tutor within my school and have done track all through high school. i've done a mission trip to new orleans that i helped organize for my school. </p>
<p>i was suspended for 3 days for breaking my schools substance abuse policy. not sure if this matters.</p>
<p>the suspension wil automatically make your chances of getting to college very difficult. it matters a LOT</p>
<p>substance abuse? I think you should aim much lower, most top schools are not interested in a drug problem</p>
<p>you could be applying to the most random/diverse schools ever</p>
<p>Vandy doesn't fit with the others in terms of the social scene but it is more like NU than Brown or U of C. Potentially in at all assuming sub abuse wasn't prosecuted as a criminal offense.</p>
<p>i was smoking (a cigarette) on campus. smart people in the classroom arent smart outside sometimes. anyways, it banned me from honors like cum laude, etc. oh well. and it was in my sophomore year.</p>

<p>and concerning the diverse applications.............vandy is like 5 miles from my high school sooo yeah. northwestern is good for engineering and what not. brown and uchicago would be for history major, political science, or philosophy.</p>
<p>why do you smoke!!! ahhh its sooooooooo bad for you!! please quit :(</p>
