When Vanderbilt or any other top school assembles its class, there will be more to it than student body presidents. Maybe you are a good team player. Do you help others succeed while finding time to succeed yourself? What I am trying to say is that I personally think you will come across better if you try to reveal your true self instead of straining to present (in essays and elsewhere) what you think they want to hear. This will weaken your app, in my opinion.

Your academics are pretty impeccable, so you have done the really hard part. You are a strong candidate for admission especially ED. But reflect on yourself and take pride in what your really are, which obviously is pretty darn good.
