Alright so let me preface this by saying I attend a school that sends over 30% of their students every year to Ivy’s and is generally ranked in the top 10-15 prep schools in the country so please take that into consideration when looking at this. Avg weighted GPA accepted from my school ED to Vandy is a 3.82 for the past 5 years. School is pretty insanely hard and thankfully colleges take that into account.

I know my ACT score will really help me and my GPA I’m not TOO worried about although I know it could hurt. I’m just worried my EC’s are lacking. They show interested in my potential major and so does my coursework, which I know could be a big plus. My Uncle is also a very well known producer in the film industry and has contacted a film professor at Vandy about coming to speak to his classes if I’m accepted. I know it’s risky and could either really help or blow up in my face but who knows!

If you link me I’ll chance back :)
