<p>what are my chances?</p>
<p>I hope you applied EDII because EDI has been out for about three weeks now and it's deadline was November 1.</p>
<p>I think you have a shot for A&S. You status as a Korean should help.</p>
<p>haha i know, im a junior</p>
<p>ohh. I didn't get it. I was also confused with the SAT stuff. Its great that you are contemplating applying this early. Better to be early than late.</p>
<p>mrryprankster, you mentioned his ethnicity. Are you saying his status as an Asian is helpful or as an Asian-American? I'm also Asian and was wondering if that could give me a boost. I'm pretty much a mediocre student ha..</p>
<p>well, from what I have heard, Vanderbilt is very ethnically similar. therefore since I believe chancellor Gee is trying to diversify, the admissions committee will show favor to asians/minorities who excel academically. your ethinicity cannot make-up for poor grades.</p>
<p>I was under the same impression. Do you mind looking at the thread "Vanderbilt" in the Chances forum? Thanks</p>
<p>what would you guys say my percetnage is?</p>
<p>I have the same question. I have been told that because I am an Indian that my chances are hurt. Could you take a look at my chances post <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=132178%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=132178</a></p>
