EC: founding member of honor council at my high school, NHS, I have been swimming for 10 years and swimming is truly my passion, I have d1 offers and am willing to turn them down to attend Wharton (vandy has no swim team), talked to coach and just a little below the speed needed to get into upenn with swimming. Captain of the swim team at my high school and state finalist all 3 years. I also volunteer at a local inner city swim team which allows for kids to be introduced to the sport that may not be able to access it otherwise. I also coach country club swim teams and lifeguard as summer jobs (l truly spend my life at the pool) I feel like my dedication to swimming can be my "hook" also showing my dedication to Wharton/vandy turning down D1 opportunities. Thanks for all your help!</p>
<p>Maybe… maybe you can swim for UPenn or Vanderbilt after all! Contact their swim coaches…</p>
<p>That said, they are both reaches.</p>
<p>Vanderbilt has no swim team unfortunately… And I’m sure I could walk on at upenn but my application can’t be endorsed by the coach to guarantee admission. Vanderbilt still a reach?</p>
<p>Swimming will help you a lot buit Wharton ED will be a reach. YOUR ACT score is a bit on the lower end for Wharton. Penn CAS is a low reach ED. Vandy is a low reach
