<p>I like the fact that Vanderbilt is a perfect balance between an academic powerhouse and a social campus. I think it embodies this more than any other school. Also, it has a beautiful campus, and i believe that if i do attend, by the time i graduate, it will have gained a significant amount of prestige and will move up in the rankings in a similar fashion to Washington University in St. Louis. I will probably apply to the college of Arts and Sciences. Also, the fact that Vanderbilt is notorious for having an attractive female population does not hurt ;). on that note are the girls there really that attractive? also, i forgot alot of information regarding my chances earlier, so here is my info: </p>
<p>as far as sats go, with the math, i got two of three sections perfect and the other one was an extremely difficult section(i was averaging 760 before the test), so on my next test i should be significantly higher. also, on the writing section, i got every multiple choice question correct, but freaked out on the essay and didnt finish it, so i got a 6 out of 12. on my writing section on the next test, i will have practiced the essay writing and time management skills, and will probably be above 750. As far as CR goes, i have a tutor, so with practice, i will easily be in the range of 2150-2300 overall. that said, all my classes are IB and many higher level, and i made Headmasters List, as well (A average in every class). I am most likely in the top 10% of my class, but am not sure cause my school is competitive, my school does not rank, and i have 70 students in my grade. I was a founding member of the Institute for Civic Leadership, a worldwide organization, i volenteer for Habitat for humaity (building houses for underprivelged children), interned at a medical malpractice lawfirm for 3 years, am an editor for my school newspaper(no one really reads it haha, not even me), and was a camp counseler in training. </p>
<p>regarding social skills, by being socially active in new york city, i have made connections with the children of billion dollar men, celebrities, athletes and more. i am setting up an auction with donations from these connections, to raise money for the Save the Children Foundation. With some of this money, i am also going to set up a club event in the city, and donate all profits to the same organization. </p>
<p>I am also hoping to be my 12th grade class representitive to the faculty at my school as well as a member of the honor counsil. </p>
<p>I left out a lot of information about myself and my life in the last post--any new comments?</p>
