<p>I applied ED to Vanderbilt and got denied. What do you all think?</p>

<p>I think you look like a solid candidate except for your math SAT score. Maybe you could take that one more time. You have similar stats to my D. except for the math score and she got in ED. Yay!</p>

<p>Reading BBYO gave me a trip down memory lane</p>

<p>Thanks! My math score is definitely what’s hurting me…</p>

<p>Your overall SAT is a little low for WashU, but not out of the ordinary. I’m not sure how to rank your GPA, since WashU cares more about rank/percentile rather than GPA (I got in with a 3.6, but that was high for my HS). If you’re in the top 10%, you definitely have a chance. I’d recommend interviewing, staying overnight (OWL program) if possible (I’m an OWL leader, so there’s even a chance you’d be crashing with me!), and visiting campus – they like demonstrated interest. </p>

<p>Don’t take it personally if you get denied, but I’d say there’s a good chance you could get in :)</p>
