<p>Vanderbilt- Most Likely In</p>

<p>Standardized testing scores compromise the relative strength of your application.</p>

<p>^? </p>

<p>A 32 isn’t that impressive for Vandy. The OP’s rank and rigor of schedule are what makes his/her application strong.</p>

<p>Bumpppp ? :)</p>

<p>Isn’t being a “first generation college student” a hook? You are a competitive Vandy applicant with a 32 ACT score and you have a nice GPA. Your Volleyball EC is rock solid, having played Varsity for 4 years. You have very good but not great EC’s overall. Nice work experience. Still a slight reach but I would NOT bet against you!</p>

<p>Haha I’m not sure if it’s considered “a hook” but it is considered in the process. I didn’t post all my ECs or community service on here because that’d be a little excessive but they are overall pretty solid, i’m more concerned with my scores making it a reach</p>

<p>C’mon guys, bump!</p>
