Last year's was even higher. I know two kids in class of 2027 that had 1560 and 1540. Very competitive admissions.

We were told not to submit anything under a 35 ACT. My kid thankfully got a 35.

Who was telling you this? It seems like a lot of people were getting bad advice.

Terrible advice.

We were told not to submit a 34 to Vanderbilt…..they only want 35/36.

Bad advice. In 2023-2024, only 25% submitted an SAT score and 26% submitted an ACT. Usually about 10-15% of students submit both. A 34 was right at the 25%, which would have been favorable for admission. Of course, that's assuming no outlying scores on the individual sections.
