Your stats are mediocre (probably should retake or don't send SAT, it's way less than par), but you're from the North and Asian. I will give you $1,000 if you don't get in. Tell me you're Jewish and I bet the Admissions department will faint when they read your app.

Don't submit the SAT. Just use the ACT and you'll get into Vandy. Good luck!

You'll be fine for Vandy. Only problem might be SATs, but very good ACTs make up for the fairly low range SAT Is (for Vandy). Is your project an Intel/Siemens winning project? If not, probably not necessary to mention submission. However, do attach it, and see if you can get a prof to review it (such as a CUNY professor, or something of the like). That could help.
