Thanks in advance!! Please give me specific tips on my strengths and weaknesses! How is my SAT score? Thanks!
I think you have a GREAT chance of being admitted to Vanderbilt, and if so, you don’t need to worry about the other schools. Great test scores, and WOW AP classes, but it all depends on your AP scores. What was your essay about? UVA, VU, and Dartmouth might take economic diversity into consideration. I think you have a good chance at all three schools, and I think Vanderbilt is almost definite. (chance back?)
I think you have such a solid chance getting binded with Vanderbilt, especially since you’re a legacy. I like how you did career-focused extracurriculars. As long as you write solid essays, I think you should be good for Vanderbilt and UVA. Dartmouth might be a reach, but only because it’s an Ivy.
@jkim853@hopefulopeful Thanks for the insight! If I applied to Vanderbilt RD, do you still think I’d have a great shot of getting in? Or do you think it’s just because of the ED boost? Thanks!
I think ED gives it a good boost. Tbh, I think it would come down to essays because I think your scores and EC are competitive enough. However, take my opinion with a grain of salt, since I’m not an admissions director hahaha.
Solid chance at Vanderbilt ED and UVa (assuming you are in-state). You may want to apply to more than just Dartmouth RD if you don’t get into Vanderbilt.
I think your scores and EC’s are pretty solid, so it would come down to your essays. Also, your legacy at Vanderbilt profoundly boosts your chances. Anways, here are my predictions:
