<p>white male from the great state of Connecticut</p>

<p>3.75 unweighted GPA (first quarter senior grades AP History A-, AP Calculus A-, British Literature Honors A)</p>

<p>ideal grade progression</p>

<p>1370 and 2070 on the SAT</p>

<p>15/190 class rank</p>

<p>All honors classes and 3 out of the 5 AP classes my schools has </p>

<p>I am a Wesleyan High School Scholar. Every other day I leave school and take "Principles of Chemistry I" there. I was accepted again for next semester, and I am taking "Principles of Chemistry II" next semester. I just took the final in my PoC I class, and I think I will receive a B+ to A- for a final average.</p>

<p>~40 hours of community service (probably the killer here)</p>

<p>Founder, former president, former vice-president, and current secretary/treasurer of the "Support Our Nation" Club</p>

<p>Founder and vice-president of the Tutoring Club</p>

<p>President and former treasurer of the International Culture Club</p>

<p>Here are the schools...</p>

<p>Boston College
Wake Forest
Vanderbilt</p>

<p>I don't know much about Vanderbilt but I have family members who've gotten into both those schools with lower scores/less ECs than you so I think you have a really good shot.</p>

<p>Chance me back plz</p>

<p>My S has similar stats to yours (with a higher gpa, more APs) and lots of leadership in community service, a couple national awards and a state award. His counselor told him that BC and Wake were close to being a "sure fit" while Vandy was more of a "reasonable reach". We visited all three and he fell in love with Vandy and was just accepted this past week ED! I'm sure applying ED helped because I think it will be MUCH more competitive in RD. I think you are right about the community service time on your post but if you have an excellent essay and recommendations you have a decent shot. Did you take SAT subject tests?- BC requires 2. Good luck.</p>
