<p>Hey I was wondering if this looks like what vanderbilt is looking for at all for music/creative writing majors:</p>

<p>GPA: 4.19 weighted (going to rise)
3.88 unweighted (same)
Rank: 32/317 (getting better..it's in the 20's now)
SAT: (they're not fair)..writing 610, crit reading 520, math 550.
ACT: June 10th, not taken yet.
9th grade i took almost all honors (I have 3 B's on my transcript), 10th grade i took 2 honors, this year (11) i took 1 ap and 4 honors and have all A's (one b+). From 10th grade on, I have all A's on the transcript. Next year, I am taking 4 AP's (2 AP and 2 ap weighted honors) and 1 actual honors honors.</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: People to people student ambassador program, national youth leadership conference (possibly--next summer), glsen (helps teach others about diversity), junior mendelssohn choir, voice lessons, piano lessons, cantoring for my rabbi, jazz choir, chamber choir (most elite), and many others that I can't think of. </p>

<p>Thanks!!</p>

<p>If you can get ahold of the latest newsletter sent home to parents of attendees there is an article featuring quotes from Dean Shain on the selection process and objectives. It is well worth reading so you know what you are competing against.</p>

<p>It just gets harder and harder every year to gain admission. </p>

<p>Good luck. It's a great school.</p>

<p>Also, if you're applying to Blair, you have the juggernaut of the audition.</p>

<p>This is true for any music school and will make you/break you--it's your 15 minutes to shine/choke.</p>

<p>If you get thru the music aspect, then you can worry about whether your grades and ECs are admission worthy.</p>

<p>you need to fix your SAT</p>

<p>you need to raise your test scores...you're a couple hundred points under the average</p>
