<p>I will be applying to the College of Arts and Sciences</p>

<p>chances are not something to really expect answers on with your transcript and test scores and what will likely be 22 thousand applicants. You have done a great job in high school and your transcript will be lovely and you have taken leadership positions on athletic teams which everyone knows takes five days a week of sweat to do. Your ACT is neither a plus or a minus because after a certain point for a student like yourself…you are in the maybe pool with a large number of your equals. </p>
<p>What will matter? Reference letters that support why Vanderbilt more than other schools that are Vandy’s equals is a better fit for you and why you feel that fit at Vandy in your essays.<br>
Best advice since qualified candidates with wonderful everything get waitlisted at Vandy and other equals to Vandy regularly…apply to schools farther from home, apply to schools eager for your enrollment that are match colleges, and apply to schools that you know you would enjoy and could afford based on a preliminary chat with parents after you file your FAFSA and CSS profile.
Really put some thought into your essays! and best wishes in your college search. Both of our sons attended colleges that were initially “not favorites” at all…so stay open hearted and ready to be flexible.</p>
