<p>***I would like to note, that it wasn’t until this summer that I realized how important college admissions could be, so I want to stress that my grades senior year WILL be all A’s and B’s</p>

<p>**** I’m really interested in Peabody (secondary education)</p>

<p><strong><em>how reachy is Vandy for me?</em></strong>***</p>

<p>quite reachy</p>

<p>just A’s, no B’s.</p>

<p>you need to surpass 3.7 gpa, 30 act, and absolutely can’t have any SAT’s under 600. having them under 700 isn’t the best idea either. as you note, best idea would be to submit act (with writing) after improving to 30+</p>

<p>but, lucky for you, peabody is less selective than CAS (~45% acceptance)…but not by much when it comes to raw numbers as the applicant pool is fairly self-selecting</p>
