Official Vassar Early Decision II Thread

Who here has applied or is thinking of applying ED II to Vassar?

[fp5858]

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

[CrystalJ]

Haha I'm in the same situation, but with brown.

[CrystalJ]

Just sent in my EDII application, anyone else?

[DLeggio]

Just applied!!

[CrystalJ]

What are your stats?

[Tunisian]

I am applying EDII too

[jsykgrl]

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!

[CrystalJ]

What are your test scores, ec's, etc?

[jsykgrl]

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.

[jsykgrl]

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 ?

[jsykgrl]

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).

[CrystalJ]

Ha, is that your why Vassar essay?

[CrystalJ]

Jw, it seemed like an essay-ish
