<p>WaitingED, if you are <em>truly</em> set on Vassar, I know you have to do other applications now- and that is hard. BUT- also do what you can to make your case to Vassar: write your regional rep (if your GC can/will ask him/her for any feedback they might have). If any achievements come in between now and end of January send it in. Write a letter making your case for why you for Vassar (ie, what you bring). Hard, I know- but I do know people who were deferred in December and got good news in the spring. </p>
