You should be proud of yourself for making good use of attending a highly functional prep school. With your grades and subtests, I highly recommend full disclosure of your AP scores on your Common App and on your Guidance Counselor’s cover sheet if there are still places for scores to be filled in. Our son graduated in '13, so times change. However he went with full disclosure on all subtests and he had a 34 ACT overall. I see zero reason to parse anything. The adcoms can see in a glance that you can do rote learning very well. As you should be able to do coming from a school with good instruction. There is nothing wrong with a 4! I would not recommend using any relations to directly assist with admissions! If you are personally interested in a career in the media industry, and you haven’t finished your essays, you can reference anyone who has influenced you. You might study this link and related links: http://news.vanderbilt.edu/2014/07/vu-student-media-hof/ to become acquainted with various Vanderbilt graduates working in the industry. Vandy also has a Vandy in LA program for internships.
During my son’s years at Vanderbilt he worked for the Vanderbilt grad running CNN Washington DC, and got to know the late John Seigenthaler a bit as well while interning at the First Amendment center named for him on the Vandy campus. The Hustler always needs strong writers. It is all about just getting on campus and contributing. The Director of CNN DC was the chief editor for the Hustler back in the day.
