<p>Please give me an honest chance, and I will chance you back. I know my ACT score is a little low for Vandy, but I think applying early decision might help my chances. I know a bunch of people who applied early and got in with 30s and 31s and 32s. What do you think? I think my strenghts are grades and ECs</p>
