<p>This is my first post, so please tell me if I’m missing something in my resume.</p>

<p>resume looks good. if you write a killer essay, i'd put your chances well above 50/50</p>

<p>I'm going to vandy too (if I get in)! See you there</p>

<p>I scored really low on my ACT essay also.. the college advisor at my school says that sometimes top students just can't seem to do well on the essay, perhaps because they try to make it too intricate when it needs to just be simple. I think the school sees that often and so it's not big deal.</p>
