<p>the 800 in math and the ECs are attractive, but the rest of your portfolio is lacking for a school as popular as Vandy and for a non-ED application. right now, Vandy’s more popular and difficult to get into than some of the Ivies.</p>

<p>Would EDII help me at all? And I guess fingers crossed for my SAT Subject scores then :$</p>

4

<p>it couldn’t hurt, but acceptance is unlikely. isn’t there another school you’d want to spend yor EDII on? Good luck.</p>

5

<p>Update.
760 on Math II
and 740 on Bio E</p>

<p>I shouldve studied more :blush: only started study the night before :’( and now i regret it</p>

<p>You’re SAT is on the lower side, but I think you stand a fair chance of getting in EDII or RD. </p>

<p>If Vanderbilt is your top-choice, then apply EDII. If you don’t really favor Vanderbilt to other schools you’ll apply to RD and you stand a fair chance at your other RD schools, then apply RD.</p>

<p>I’m a sophomore here to give you more perspective of my opinion. If you also have other questions, I can answer them.</p>
