Actually, it so happens that I visited Vassar for the second time a few days ago (sat in for a music class and biology class). I had an interview with the chairman of the music department (which went very well), and he said that if I send in a CD of musical performance with my application, the department would give in a recommendation to the admissions committee. Is this a nice substitute for an alumni interview? I remember the Dean of Admission stating that the alumni interview is purely informational, and does not have any bearing on the admissions process.

What do you feel my chances are at early admission, and do you feel my strong SAT II’s make up for the SAT I? To me, it is hard to believe that the admissions committee would hold one mediocre score against me, when everything else is very strong, as well as a recommendation from the music department. Hopefully this is true thinking, and I am not being too ideal!
