I am a rising senior and Vanderbilt University is currently one of my top choices, but I am not sure I would get in. Any feedback or knowledge about the admissions process and my chances (or how to increase them) would be very much appreciated.

GPA
Unweighted: 3.98
Weighted: 4.33

COURSES
I have taken all Honors courses in every core class except for Biology freshman year. This past year (junior year) however I took Pre Calculus instead of IB Math Studies I. I also took English 11 Honors instead of IB English. But I was enrolled in IB History of the Americas and IB Chemistry. This year I will also take IB Spanish V. Junior year I did take Accounting which was unweighted. This year I will take Physics which is weighted, but I do not know if it is considered an honors course.
