I’m in a similar situation as you, I might not be the best on this subject, but you seem decent for Vandy considering youre applying ED1 but since your GPA is a 3.7 Weighted and not unweighted, it may hurt your chances

2100-2300 is a BIG range. If you GET a 2300, that’s one thing. 2100, while still very good, isn’t as amazing as 2300. can’t give you an accurate chancing until you actually get an SAT score.

3.7 weighted is low though. I think you WILL have to get a 2300 to have a shot, and then, you still might not depending on what your unweighted GPA is. I’ll assume 3.5 or less, and that’s more Bs than As and I think not good enough to get into Vanderbilt.

Vandy only looks at CR+M so if you can get >1500 you will be a competitive applicant. The only issue is that your GPA is extremeley low. 3.7 UW is one thing, but 3.7 W is very low for a school like vanderbilt.
