I'm terribly conflicted about applying early to Vassar.

<p>Yup, I absolutely love it here. I don’t have anything to complain about, really. I have friends who go to other top schools crying about stress, thinking about transferring, etc. and I’m just here, like, damn my school is perfect. Low stress (even though there’s a good amount of work), amazing faculty, lots of things to do, not really a party school (but there’s definitely parties, if that makes sense. You just don’t need to go to them to have fun.), Arlington is a cute little town (not to mention our beautiful campus), etc. etc.</p>

<p>I would suggest applying to some of the schools that are need-blind for internationals, though. Not ED necessarily, but your aid won’t get in the way there, and aid really does play a huge role for internationals.</p>
