hell yeahhh french! haha
your chances sound pretty good! i actually don't know much about the 4 point gpa scale, but im assuming a 3.6 is pretty damn good. your extracurriculars and awards sound excellent, and it's pretty rare to have a guy who's good at french and also does a lot of science. i'm pretty sure vassar is keen on accepting strong science people. you find out probably on monday, don't you? good luck!!!

I don't really consider myself qualified to predict whether someone will get in or not, but it's pretty impressive you're fluent in three languages and "adequate" in another. Haha.

You have great stats, and you're going to get into a fantastic school. I would recommend trying to chill. If it's meant to be, you'll get into Vassar. If not, it will be Vassar's loss and another terrific school's gain. Let us know.

Don't worry, you were well qualified. Obviously Vassar thought so.
