Your GPA, curriculum, and ECs are terrific. I do think you’ll want to bring up your standardized test scores as much as you can to qualify for a top Vanderbilt scholarship. Your ACT puts you in the 34/35 range, but your SATs need to come up, as you know, to really put you in the ballpark for that.

One datapoint: my d has a 3/4 scholarship in the College Scholars program in A & S. I believe there are similar scholarships in the Engineering school. When my d went to her first College Scholars meeting - this was three years ago - she learned that the average SAT score was 1560 (hers was 50 points lower).
