I’m really interested in Vanderbilt, but I did not get the chance to apply Early Decision. I have a 35 ACT and a 4.8 GPA. I have a lot of extracurriculars ranging from community service, sports (baseball and basketball), to President of the Honor Council. I also got National Merit from the PSAT. Do I have a chance of being admitted?
Your test scores and GPA will guarantee you at least a good chance, but it depends on how unique they find your ECs and essay
What are your non-reaches then?
Does anyone know how heavily admission weighs recommendations ? D received letter from former professor and dept chair.
That will get u in. I was talking with the vandy admissions counselor and she said grades are 60% of vandy admissions.
Yeah, you have a great chance. A 4.8 and a 35 are definitely good enough. I agree that it depends on your EC’s and essay. I hear that Vanderbilt mainly focuses on grades and test scores, though, which is good for you.
