<p>i know theres a ton of these but any one with an idea please help...</p>
<p>unweighted gpa: 3.31
weighted gpa: 4.25 (i think my schools weighted gpa's tend to be a little higher than most)</p>
<p>SAT: 1570
AP Pysch: 5</p>
<p>solid EC's (baseball, key club, etc.) and recs but nothing amazing</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any imput.</p>
<p>why the he11 is your gpa so low with a 1570?</p>
<p>i was a little bit of a slacker and thought there were more important things then school when i was younger i changed my ways though</p>
<p>I don't think there's any doubt that you're in. It's just that if your gpa were better you would be a very strong applicant for merit aid.</p>
<p>1570/1600? or 1570/2400? I think it's the latter, weasel. If you take it again and do better, you might have a chance.</p>
<p>Woops. My bad.</p>
<p>no its 1570/1600 (2310/2400) thanks for your imput, weasel, anyone else?</p>
<p>stats aren't the final determining factor. thousands of kids have almost similar stats, boring the crap out of those who review.</p>
<p>what distinguishes you? why should vandy admit you? what will you contribute to the vandy community?</p>
<p>if you answer these questions truthfully and can convey them to the admit com in a logical forthright interesting manner you have a chance.</p>
<p>plenty of high scoring standardized test takers get rejected. plenty of high gpa kids get rejected. kids with passion get noticed and accepted, often with lesser gpa and standardized scores.</p>
<p>There will not be thousands of other Vanderbilt applicants with 1570/1600, or almost similar stats.</p>
<p>Test scores mean alot, congrats. How's your class rank?</p>
<p>I second that. As good of a school as Vanerbilt is, it is not as choosy with high stats applicants as HYPSM.</p>
<p>there is always an exception --</p>
<p>case in point from last year's hs graduating class: kid had over 1500 (old)sat and 34 act and high gpa--flat out rejected from vandy. multiple sports. god only knows what they were looking for as this kid had it all. very disappointed.</p>
<p>But as you said, he was the exception.</p>
<h2>Not really, several of my friends had high SAT scores and got rejected. While kids with lower scores in my HS and excellent ECs got accepted. </h2>
<p>If you think high scores are enough and dont put effort in the rest of your app. I'll bet you get rejected.</p>
<p>I think that high stats applicants to Vandy are more competitive on average than lower stats applicants. Feel free to challenge this premise.</p>

<p>I admit that this was an overstatement, but I still feel that if the OP writes solid essays, he/she has very very strong chances of admission because of test scores well above the 75th percentile, gpa that is probably within the range, and solid EC's. I was not at all suggesting that the OP blow off the rest of the application.</p>
<p>I had the exact same UW GPA and a 1520....i got in ED</p>
