<p>Ok so I was wondering I've looked at the stats but what exactly are my chances of getting into Vanderbilt</p>
<p>GPA: 3.3 (3.7/4.5 scale, unweighted, even though I've taken mostly AP classes this year and the last my school simply refuses to weight anyone's GPA)</p>
<ul>
<li>AP Chem, Ap Physics C, AP Macroecon/AP Microcon, AP French 4, AP French 5 lit, AP Calc BC, AP Comparative Gov.</li>
</ul>
<p>SAT (2400): 2070 (hoping they don't count the writing section 630, 8 essay)
SAT (1600): 1440 (760 math, 690 crit reading)
ACT: 31</p>
<p>Indian attending a private high school</p>
<p>Extracurricular:
Community service stuff (around 100 hours at least)
-Mock Trial
-Model UN
-Youth Leg
-Violin (10 years)</p>
<p>DAD is a tenured professor at Vanderbilt
Have a Vanderbilt trustee writing an extra recommendation</p>
<p>Grateful for any help
Thanks</p>
<p>Without the fact that ur dad is a professor and the rec thing I would say its a high match, but after contributing those factors Id say ur in!</p>
<p>good luck! :D
chance me back!</p>
<p>Having a parent as a faculty member at Vanderbilt,either at the medical center or the university confers no advantage, despite what y'all may think. I have seen several qualified children of attending physicians get rejected, and the D of an associate vice chancellor for research got waitlisted last year. He is much higher on the food chain here than I am.
My D is fully aware that my position will not help her and she is still applying but also to a good range of safety,match and reach schools:
Stanford, Rice, Baylor, Wash U, Alabama(accepted into Honors College with full ride,invited to apply for University Fellows),Vanderbilt, Furman, Wake Forest, UVA, College of William and Mary.
Sorry if this bursts your bubble and I am not trying to be unkind, just realistic as I have seen this happen over and over again.</p>
<p>The GPA is a little painful, but I'd say a mid to low reach.</p>
