I’m sorry but UVA and Vandy are both big reaches for your DD. Your daughters scores are below the 25% for Vandy and 84% are top 10% of their class. For UVA 88% of the entering freshmen were top 10% and the only reason for the standardized scores (SAT and ACT) being as low as they are is due to favoring in-state students. UVA only gives scholarships to OOS students who are competitive for the top schools. Look at Ohio Northern U which has some automatic scholarships for a 29 ACT.
