<p>i know theres a ton of these but any one with an idea please help…</p>
<p>unweighted gpa: 3.31
weighted gpa: 4.25 (i think my schools weighted gpa’s tend to be a little higher than most)</p>
<p>SAT: 1570
AP Pysch: 5</p>
<p>solid EC’s (baseball, key club, etc.) and recs but nothing amazing</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any imput.</p>
<p>why the he11 is your gpa so low with a 1570?</p>
<p>i was a little bit of a slacker and thought there were more important things then school when i was younger i changed my ways though</p>
<p>I don’t think there’s any doubt that you’re in. It’s just that if your gpa were better you would be a very strong applicant for merit aid.</p>
<p>1570/1600? or 1570/2400? I think it’s the latter, weasel. If you take it again and do better, you might have a chance.</p>
<p>Woops. My bad.</p>
<p>no its 1570/1600 (2310/2400) thanks for your imput, weasel, anyone else?</p>
<p>stats aren’t the final determining factor. thousands of kids have almost similar stats, boring the crap out of those who review.</p>
<p>what distinguishes you? why should vandy admit you? what will you contribute to the vandy community?</p>
<p>if you answer these questions truthfully and can convey them to the admit com in a logical forthright interesting manner you have a chance.</p>
<p>plenty of high scoring standardized test takers get rejected. plenty of high gpa kids get rejected. kids with passion get noticed and accepted, often with lesser gpa and standardized scores.</p>
<p>There will not be thousands of other Vanderbilt applicants with 1570/1600, or almost similar stats.</p>
<p>Test scores mean alot, congrats. How’s your class rank?</p>
<p>I second that. As good of a school as Vanerbilt is, it is not as choosy with high stats applicants as HYPSM.</p>
<p>there is always an exception –</p>
<p>case in point from last year’s hs graduating class: kid had over 1500 (old)sat and 34 act and high gpa–flat out rejected from vandy. multiple sports. god only knows what they were looking for as this kid had it all. very disappointed.</p>
<p>But as you said, he was the exception.</p>
<h2>Not really, several of my friends had high SAT scores and got rejected. While kids with lower scores in my HS and excellent ECs got accepted. </h2>
<p>If you think high scores are enough and dont put effort in the rest of your app. I’ll bet you get rejected.</p>
<p>I think that high stats applicants to Vandy are more competitive on average than lower stats applicants. Feel free to challenge this premise.</p>

<p>I admit that this was an overstatement, but I still feel that if the OP writes solid essays, he/she has very very strong chances of admission because of test scores well above the 75th percentile, gpa that is probably within the range, and solid EC’s. I was not at all suggesting that the OP blow off the rest of the application.</p>
<p>I had the exact same UW GPA and a 1520…i got in ED</p>
