I am a Tennessee resident hoping to getting accepted to Vanderbilt during Fall of 2016. Here are my current credentials, so is there any chance I could get into that level of school?
ACT Scores (I know Vandy doesn’t superscore this, and I definitely intend to retake):
Composite:29
English: 32
Science:30
Math:22 (Terrible, I was so sad when I saw this, main reason I’m retaking)
Reading:30
Writing: Not Yet Taken (I know I have to for Vandy, second reason I’m retaking.
GPA: 4.0 Unweighted, 4.36 Unweighted (should be in or close to 5 by graduation.)
Honors Classes throughout High School: Hon. Algebra 1& 2, Hon. English 1,2, & 3, Hon. Chemistry, Hon. Physical Science, Hon. Biology, Hon. World Geography, possibly more. A’s in all.
Current Classes: Personal Finance(School didn’t offer honors), A.P. Calculus AB, A.P. English 4, Hon. ABLS, ACT Math Review( for obvious reasons), etc.
A.P Courses Taken: Physics AB- 2 on test (ashamed), A.P.U.S.H- 4 on test ( Not high enough for credit, but hopefully enough to brag about.
Class Rank: 3, potential Salutatorian if straight A’s.
Extracurriculars:
Chior- Mid-State Bass 1 SATB, 2nd Alternate for All-State Men;s Chior 2015/ may make All-State this year.
Chess- President of Chess Club this year.

Is there any chance I could get into Vanderbilt or schools of similar caliber if I score higher next time, any advice on how to boost my chances would be greatly appreciated. Please be honest though.
