<p>I have a pretty weak GPA (3.5/4.0) for my school especially.
But... I got a 34 on my ACT.
I want to apply to Vanderbilt ED, how would they look at this?</p>
<p>I have great ECs, essays, recommendations... and I'm hispanic.</p>
<p>Well, you may have a good chance…depending on the difficulty of your curriculum. What is your rank?</p>
<p>Vandy is a full need school, so that’s good if your family (including both parents) is low income.</p>
<p>However, if your family has an income that will require an unaffordable contribution, then applying ED is not a good idea.</p>
<p>How much will your parents pay for college?</p>
<p>.</p>
<p>My parents can afford to pay for full tuition, so that is not a concern in applying ED.</p>
<p>My school doesn’t rank, but the valedictorian has around a 4.0/5.0 GPA.</p>
<p>I will have taken 7 APs by the end of high school and have a decently strong upward trend.</p>
<p>Great shot at Vandy, who is starting to chase high test scores.</p>
