I visited Vanderbilt and absolutely fell in LOVE with it, although I previously had my heart set on Brown. I don’t want to risk not getting in because i could really see myself there, but I also don’t want to shut my mind off to other schools out there by applying early decision. Can someone please chance me for regular decision and see if applying early is necessary? (I just finished Junior year)

I’m an african american female from long island, NY
First generation college student
I attend a small public school
Rank: not sure but around 8/110

Freshman year: All honors
Sophomore year: 2 APs, double science, all the rest honors classes
Junior year: 3 APs, double science, all the rest honors
Senior year: 6 APs
Total: 11 APs, and a countless number of Honors courses

UW GPA: ~3.82 W GPA: ~4.2
SAT: CR: 690 Math: 650 Writing: 770
(This is after only one time, waiting on latest score and will take again in October)
ACT: awaiting results

EC’s are excellent in terms of focus and prestige. My major will probably be biochem, and most of my EC’s display this passion. (i’m just too lazy to write them right now)
I’m currently working on my gold award, and have done many community service projects
I’m an excellent writer (I won the Regional Gold Key award in the Scholastics Competition for Young Artists and Writers), so my essays should be strong.

I know this isn’t saying much, just a rough idea, if you need a resume to give a more accurate chance i will message one to you. THANKS
