<p>I don’t think the C will kill you. You’re still in top 5%, and got mostly A’s otherwise. And it was a freshman honors course, so don’t sweat it too much. Test scores look solid, ECs seem a little lacking though, but I don’t know how much time you spent with the U.N. thing. I think you have a good chance.</p>

<p>^ Do you mean that even though H alg. 2/trig. is in sophomore year its considered a freshman course?</p>

<p>you will definitely get in brotha. you are way more qualified than me, and i got in regular decision last year. even if you write a mediocre essay, you still got great chances.</p>

<p>anyone else? :)</p>

<p>No I just misread it. You didn’t post your freshman grades at all…</p>

<p>^^ Does Vanderbilt consider freshman grades? Most privates don’t… interesting.</p>

<p>I got all A’s freshman year though</p>

<p>they look at everything bro but if you have As its no biggie</p>

<p>^ nice man, what do you think about my chances?</p>

<p>i dont see any freshman grades? Does the 3.75 uw include them?</p>

<p>The C definitely won’t do anything. You’re other grades are solid and you have upward trend, not to mention your 2310 is HUGE. Also, your ECs show passion for business which is great. An overall great chance!</p>

<p>hmm pretty good chance</p>
