I honestly don't think you should worry about getting in.

senioryr2010

I probably know the same amount about the school as you do, I'm applying ED also, but it seems like you have an excellent shot at getting in. Being a male only adds to your application. I don't think you should be too worried!

Haha, I like the marvelous sensation you describe. I wish I could feel that way about college applications again. Good times last year.

I think you have a very solid chance. Good luck!

imsolidmatter

I'm applying EDII, and my stats aren't as great as yours haha. You seem like you have a really good chance. So I hope we both get in !

Thanks to everyone who's replied so far! It's really encouraging.

And imsolidmatter and senioryr2010, good luck to my future classmates! ;] Do you guys have Facebook or something? Vassar '14 needs to stick together!

senioryr2010

good luck to both you and imsolidmatter also!
i do have a facebook, and if i can figure out how to send a private message on this website (i've only been on here for a few days), i'll send you the link!

I apologize for being rude but do you play for the other team? xD

I'm no expert at chancing since I'm an intl student but I think you definitely have a shot esp. with your GPA and your interest in theater. Your supp also does sound quite unique.

mattsaysfierce

Haha, not at all! Yep, I'm gay. Why do you ask?

Thanks for the good remarks. You're intl? Where from?

mcpheevn

Oh I'm just curious since I saw your modeling for A&F *blush*

I'm from Singapore btw.

mattsaysfierce

Really? And I thought it was the "Gay-Straight Alliance" that gave it away, haha.

mcpheevn

Well the 'fierce' gave it away at first but I was rather *ahem* fixated at the A&F *shall talk no more*
