Can someone give me a sense of my chances at Vassar? My college list is already “top-heavy” so if I don’t have much of a shot I may not apply… But, on the other hand, I looked at Vassar’s Women’s Studies and LOVED it…so I’m conflicted.

GPA: 4.0 (weighted) 3.77 (unweighted)
SATs: (only taken once but I’m waiting on my october score) 700 CR, 700 W, 580 M (1980)
SAT II : lit-710 us history-630 (re-taking history and taking bio)
APUSH: 5
Rank: 23 out of 125

I am bi-racial and attend an inner city high school, though my family is not low income and both my parents have pHDs
