My Vanderbilt Chances Class of 2025

Hi! I am a Senior in High School really hoping to attend Vanderbilt as it is my number 1 school. I applied regular decision as a Psychology Major and Music Performance Minor. Even though the date is near, I can’t help but worry if I am good enough to get in. Especially in this pandemic, I know there was an increased amount of applicants and I’m sure the acceptance rates will go down. I was just wondering from any current or alumnus from Vanderbilt University: how high are my chances of getting in?
