<p>With those scores and extracurricular activities, and the commitment you demonstrate by applying early, I would be surprised if you didn’t get in.</p>

<p>Especially because this is ED, I’d say it is more likely than not that you get accepted. I too will apply Vanderbilt ED, and I’ve researched it extensively. The acceptance rate for ED is a modestly better 25%, and their Middle 50 for scores is about a point lower for ED. Since your weighted GPA is 4.4, it’s unlikely that you have below a 3.8 unweighted. If you did, your chances would be harder, but assuming that you don’t, you should be competitive.</p>

<p>Unweighted gpa is 3.94</p>

5

<p>Yeah, that’s an excellent unweighted. Vanderbilt is super competitive, so nothing is assured, but you’d have a great chance ED.</p>

6

<p>How would my chances be for UNC Chapel Hill, out of state. I know it’s VERY competitive.</p>

<p>I’d say you have a very good shot at both UNC OOS and Vanderbilt ED. Congratulations.</p>

<p>I’d say Vanderbilt would be a match for you. Good luck! :)</p>
