There are a couple other things I could write about, but the Common App limits me to 10 activities, and these are probably my stronger activities.</p>
<p>My essays are pretty good. </p>
<p>Letters of recommendation will speak very highly of me.</p>
<p>I’m impressed with your activities. I’m impressed with the rest of your qualifications, but the activites, for me, are especially noteworthy for the way they inter-weave and create a picture of who you are. And it’s a good picture.</p>
<p>If you can afford your EFC at Vandy where there are no loans, and you are not interested in better offers at other colleges such as your home state flagships, your chances will be better in ED2. The numbers of applicants are the problem. You are a fine candidate. Your paid work history in the cafe stands out from the “usual” involvements for top students. If your test scores were even better, no matter. Everyone should view Vandy as a reach college based on fully qualified applicants. Keep open hearted and eyes open on alternatives regardless of your decision on when to put in your application. Vandy is an ED choice for those whose financial means are well matched by Vandy’s policies.</p>
