You have very good chances at all these colleges. It would be helpful to know your unweighted GPA. A 2330 SAT is extremely high regardless of super scoring. There are significant differences between these schools in terms of merit scholarships. Tulane is likely to award you $25- $30k in merit aid. Vanderbilt is also generous with top students

You seem like a terrific student. Your sat’s and extracurricular are outstanding. I would say the only thing hurting your admission is that you only took 4 ap classes. Overall, I think you are an excellent candidate, but I’m not an admission officer. Good luck :slight_smile:
