Top 10% of my class.
ACT: 26 (took it as a sophmore & hope to get a 30 or better next time)
No SAT</p>

<p>About 15 Honors classes and will have 5 APs by the end of my Senior year (my school only offers 6)</p>

Will be shadowing a doctor during Spring Break</p>

<p>I am sure there are others...these are the ones I can remember.</p>

<p>I know a doctor who went to UNC who would write a good rec. and my Mom works at Vandy and has connections.</p>

<p>I would be majoring in Pre-med...</p>

<p>Please be honest and tell me what I need to work on...</p>

<p>Thanks!!!!</p>

<p>You’re definitely in the ballpark for both. With a 30 ACT and good essays I think you are in at UNC, and most likely in at Vandy. </p>

<p>With a 30:
vandy- high match
UNC- match</p>

<p>Yeah, just work on that ACT. You might want to try out the SAT 1 and see if you fare relatively better on that one than on the ACT.</p>

<p>BUMP…</p>

<p>I was also wondering about Duke, and maybe the University of California at LA (I have heard it is really hard to get in out of state)…any comments help!!!</p>

<p>You really have to have atleast a 32 to be somewhat competitive at Vanderbilt. A 33 would probably be the perfect score to have, though.</p>

<p>Your GPA is fine and continuing to be in the top 10% is VERY important to Vandy.</p>

<p>Right now, you can’t get into any of those schools with a 26.</p>

<p>Thanks Hilsa!!!</p>

<p>What about the other schools guys???</p>

<p>OOS for UNC is really harsh… a 30 would be extremely borderline (judging from the OOS thread)… 32+ to be really in the running (unless you have really tight connections). Duke and UCLA would also require the same standards, but your in the ball park.</p>
