I somehow–perhaps by the power of Zeus–got into Vanderbilt EDII for fall 2012, but had to decline because their financial aid offer sucked. So, here I am, somewhat miserable at the University of Illinois (on full-tuition, mind you), and all I can think about is the opportunity I passed up.

I got in with a 3.05 UW, 3.9 W, 35 ACT (single-sitting), great recs, great ECs, URM status (Latino), etc. Let’s say that, after missing a month of school with mono, I still pull off about a 3.6 this semester at UIUC. Is Vandy attainable for next year, or should I wait another year and develop a better transcript?
