<ul>
<li>your scores and GPA are definitely within the range, but nothing that really sets them that far apart from the rest of the applicants.</li>
</ul>
<p>-it is good that your ECs are concentrated...its much better to be really involved in a few things than spread so thin that you aren't going to be able to make a difference</p>
<ul>
<li>the internship seems like it could be impressive, but since there is no undergraduate business program at vandy, it doesn't show that you are pursuing a field that you are interested in (you could do that by applying to the ENGAGE program for Vandy's business).</li>
</ul>
<p>Again, nothing seems bad about the application, but there doesn't really seem to be a hook to lock you in. Try to find that one thing thats special and unique about you. When you do, flaunt it.</p>
<p>clearly you have the brains. the most important aspect is present.</p>
<p>answer the question: what makes me unique and how would I contribute to the community. answer those points and build your essay and you have a decent shot.</p>
<p>pick your safety schools. admissions can get crazy.</p>
