Chances for Scholarship?

I’d say your chances are very strong. My d has a 3/4 tuition scholarship with similar stats (lower SAT, higher ACT; same rank and GPA). Standards have increased since my d was admitted, but I think you’d still qualify. I’m impressed that you’ll be taking both AP Bio and AP Physics senior year. That sounds like a LOT to me with Lit and Euro - I don’t think any admissions committee would expect it!

Vanderbilt would like to recruit more Asian students, so that can’t hurt. What’s your intended major/school?

If you don’t live near Vandy, I don’t think a visit is expected, though if you’re in an adjacent state I think there’d be a question about your level of interest if you don’t visit during the application process. It would also help you to decide how happy you’d be at the school.

Good luck!
