<p>It’s not great, but you already know that. The main thing I wanted to post to say was that admissions are need-blind until they start looking at the waitlist. So your need is irrelevant, unless you’d also like us to chance you for the merit scholarships in which case… don’t hold your breath.</p>

<p>I think you are very competitive. Good GPA, good courses, lots of leadership type of activities. The only part that is on the weak side is ACT, but it is not abysmal. </p>

<p>I’m going to be honest. </p>

<p>Your chance is much better at ED. But even then … it will be really, really tough.</p>

<p>95% percent of ED admits were in the top 10% of their class. Middle 50% of ACT is 32-34. </p>

<p>You have FANTASTIC grade, GREAT ecs - heck, you blow my high school career clean out of the water! :wink: Vanderbilt is just super super competitive. </p>

<p>I agree. Your profile is amazing. If you could get your ACT up, you would have a better chance.
I’m not much better than you but I fit into their profile.
Top 10% of class (3.88 GPA)
and 32 ACT (middle 50%). I’m retaking it in October and I suggest you do the same.</p>

6

<p>Unfortunately I will not be here for the October ACT so I think this is my last one, thanks though! Its too bad my class is SO competitive so I am in the top 13% </p>

<p>Oops meant to reply that ^ to @CollegePanda96</p>

<p>Haha. It wouldn’t hurt to try. If you REALLY want to go to Vandy, just go ED!</p>
