<p>Your UW GPA is good, but you might want to raise your ACT scores if applying to Vanderbilt. As is the common consensus on these forums, Vanderbilt tends to be more test-concious than at other schools.You should also know you can only apply ED to one school (unless of course you mean that you are planning to apply EDII to a different school if you don’t get in EDI). Your EC’s are very strong, but have taken been commited to these organizations and taken leaderships if possible? Also, having an alumni of a certain school write a recommendation won’t help significantly unless that person also knows you very well and can write about you personally. (I’m not familiar with a president role at a school, is it the same thing as a principal?) Your are a good applicant, but raise that ACT score up to make yourself more competitive. Good luck!</p>
