Hi— im planning to ED to vandy this fall. I have a 3.97 UW GPA, not sure what would be weighted but ive taken 1 AP (got a 4) And am taking 5 this year, up until my JR year I couldnt take any at my high school. I have a 34 ACT, 4 yrs varsity vball, captain jr/sr year, varsity track 2 yrs, leader of SADD and am running alzheimers club, apart of about 7 other clubs, multiple jobs, an internship, and was apsrt of a harvard foreign policy summit. Theres also other stuff on my resume I cannot remember exactly.

Do I have a real shot at ED?

I love Vanderbilt so much and I know I will be crushed if I dont get in. when replying, please be harsh if you have to. I want honest advice. Thank you guys so much

I think you will be borderline - do you have a hook? Vandy is tough - ED, RD - you could be the perfect student and not get in. But ED helps.

But do this DO NOT fall in love with any one school - don’t do it. They all have pros and cons. You can find the best school and have a bad roommate or bad prof. You could get into Vandy and not afford it and get into another school that costs much less that your parents send you to.

It’s worth applying - absolutely. I hope you get in. But it’s very difficult to get in - so don’t fall in love.
