<p>SAT: Oct 2007 1750 (440 CR 750 M 560 W)
Dec 2007 1960 (570 CR 800 M 590 W)
I only had chance and time to take this test twice. Otherwise, I could have<br>
scored better. My bad is that I only know about this test at the end of my junior
year. FOOLISH ME!
SAT II: Nov 2007 Math2c 770 Physics 700 Japanese with Listening 690
ACT: N/A<br>
GPA: 98 / 100
Rank: 2 / 140
Other Tests (AMC, AP, IB): N/A</p>

<p>Subjective:</p>

<p>Essays: I think it is good. I have had people proofread it and they all liked it. I wrote about my work at orphanage, how I understood my life goal while teaching orphans.
Teacher Recs: I think they are good, but I have never seen them.
Counselor Rec: It should be fine, since she knows me well.
Supplementary Material: N/A
Hook(recruited athlete, legacy, Nobel Prize): [ /list] USAP’er? Prolly diversity? </p>

<p>Personal: </p>

High School Type: Private, one of the best in the country
Ethnicity: Asian
Gender: Male
Applied for Financial Aid: Y</p>

<p>Other:
Extracurriculars: Voluntary teacher at local orphanage for the last 2 years, School Math Club Leader, Varsity Basketball, Tutoring for lunch at school, Japanese and English Club, SAT blogging to inform kids about this test, Class Treasurer, Debate Club.
Awards: Medals from Math and English Olympiads, I also got medals in Physics Contests, Yearly school quiz champion winner, Study Excellence Gold Medal (a good award in Mongolia), Future Leader Medalist, The best student of HS etc.</p>

<p>School doesn’t offer AP courses. Everyone has same courses over here. I am USAP’er which stands for United States Student Achievers’ Program. It helps financially disadvantaged, but intelligent kids study in the US. I think it might help me a little in the admissions.
I also had a CC member write alumni recommendation. I met her on CC, she bought and sent me many books regarding SAT’s. She wrote all about these. I should thank her much! Okay, so?</p>

<p>I really want to get into Vandy!</p>

<p>you might have a chance…might not a strong chance…might be less b/c u are a international student…</p>

3

<p>Vandy does not give much cash to internationals… in fact very little</p>

4

<p>hell yeah man
you have a good chance
vanderbilt isn’t as selective as the people above would like to think but you have competitve enough stats to get in most places</p>

5

<p>Thanks! Any more opinions?</p>

6

<p>vanderbilt is an interesting choice… where i live ppl think its a school for rich kids who think they’re smart enough to buy their way into college</p>

<p>You have a 90% chance of being admitted. If you do any basic research, Vanderbilt is looking to “broaden its horizons” and admit more minorities and internationals. In fact, I saw a pretty good article about it with specific numbers on the online version of The Hustler not too long ago. I’m not sure, however, if that policy applies to people that need help paying the tuition bill. Might drop your chances a little, maybe down to 75%.</p>

<p>I believe this young man was disappointed with his denial earlier this year.</p>
