<p>Your SAT and GPA seem on the lower-end, but you have strong ECs. Would you be interested in applying ED?</p>

3

<p>prob not, id do RD</p>

4

<p>Your EC is really stong (is it really 1800+ hours or is that a typo?) but they don't always get you in. Your GPA is pretty low and there's nothing you can do about that now but your SAT, you can improve. You should definitely try to get 2000+. If you have any other hooks (URM, legacy, etc) you should probably have a good chance 50/50 RD. But it's only my guess.</p>

5

<p>nope its 1800, i guess i never really viewed my GPA as being low. But i guess i never considered vanderbilt to be a good chance anyway. thanks</p>

6

<p>your GPA is not that low if it is UW. sat 2100+ would be a plus.</p>

7

<p>lol i know wut would be a plus, but 200 points is unrealistic for me. So what i have is what i have.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help</p>
