I’m thinking about applying to Vandy EDII, but I know it’s a very big reach. What do you guys thin – any point in even trying?

Rank: school doesn’t officially rank, but I think I’m somewhere around the top 15-18%.

Average: UW 92.3, I’m not sure what it is weighted.

APs/Honors: School has limited offerings. Honors English 11th grade, Honors French 11th grade, no APs. My school only offers two for juniors, and neither of them were my best subjects. Senior year I’m taking AP English, AP French, and AP Environmental. Hopefully if I do EDII, I can send in a transcript with great mid-term grades in these classes.

ACT: 30 composite

SAT: 2040 composite (750 CR, 710 W, 580 M – Don’t think I want to send these because Math is so awful!)

Lots of extra-curriculars:

Member of my school’s highly regarded theater program for four years, where I acted, directed, sand, dance, wrote scenes and songs that were chosen to be in our shows, and did production jobs.

Work experience as a waitress and another job as a paid intern at a home-goods company.

President and co-founder of the club ‘Theater For Hope’, which raises money for the Pediatric Cancer Foundation.

Member of my school’s A Capella group.

Did a leadership and a counselor training session at a YMCA camp (10th and 11th grade), and was a volunteer counselor for two weeks (11th grade).

National Honors Society

Member of various clubs like AIDS Awareness, Eco Club, STAND for Darfur

Essays: Really good, I think. I wrote about what it’s like to be a triplet.

Also:

School is HIGHLY competitive, nationally well-regarded, and gets lots of love from colleges. But not sure this can make up for stats slightly below the average Vandy student.

I would apply to the CAS with a planned Film Studies major.

I’m assuming teacher and counselor recs were great, as well.
