    I will most likely apply to Vassar ED II if I do not get accepted EA to my top choice (UChicago). I've kind of fell in love with Vassar over the last couple of months :)

    Hey, I'm planning on applying ED II. The only issue... someone from my same high school got admitted ED I. She has better test scores, has better rank (she is #2 and I'm #4), and is a minority, and the only leg up I have is that I'm part of a lot of extra curriculars and a few more challenging classes. Let me know if I have a chance. Thanks!

    and I want to add that I'm not holding anything against her. No matter what happens, she (and anyone who gets admitted to such a wonderful college) deserves to have been admitted, I just want to know if I have a possibility too.

    SATs:1770
    ACT: 25
    APs: UP US (3), AP Gov. (2), AP Lang (3), and I'm taking AP Environmental and AP Literature
    **our school offers 8 APs total and 3 honors classes, which I did take

    I have about 430 community service hours, and as for ECs there are a lot to list so I'll just put the important ones:
    EIC of Yearbook for 3 years, plus 3 years of Yearbook Camp (I'm a nerd, I know)
    11 musicals, 2 plays, and 1 one act
    Chamber Singers 3 years
    Junior Class President
    a pre-college program
    Teen Court
    Drama Club 4 years
    National Honor Society
    Piano lessons for 11 years
    Voice lessons for 8 years
    Accapella group for 1 year
    and a few other little things

    As previously stated I'm 4/298 and have a GPA of 4.0 UW according to my school.

    Thanks for your help!

    What's your favorite thing about Vassar ?

    Well I think my favorite aspect of Vassar College is that they allow for the student to choose his/her own path through their courses, and how involved the students are because of the small class sizes and organizations. It allows for every student to have a voice, which is just the kind of college I'm looking for. I also feel that Vassar does a terrific job of choosing students for the right reasons, not just from test scores (but I could be wrong).
