<p>Okay so I'm an ED II applicant to Vassar and even though it's been a day since I've applied, my heart rate has yet to stabilize (sad, but true) and I catch myself randomly holding my breath whenever I think of the impending decision... So yeah I'm a little nervous :p</p>
<p>As aware as I am of the gaping flaws of inductive reasoning, I've succumbed to the overwhelming impulse to post a (wait for it, wait for it...) chance thread!</p>

<ul>
<li>Arab (and European [and American]) Female living in Beirut, Lebanon </li>
<li>Cumulative GPA (with 11th grade weighted): 3.943</li>
<li>IB Diploma Program (don't know my predicted grades, but I'd wager anything between a 36 and a 41) => my school doesn't offer AP classes so I'm enrolled in the hardest curriculum.</li>

1200 delegates in a national MUN competition and, consequently, attended the UNA-<br>
USA conference in New York free of charge :]</p></li>
<li><p>Have been playing the piano for 8 years</p></li>

<p>OTHER APPLICATION INFO:
- teacher recs: haven't seen them but I'm pretty sure they're stellar (one teacher actually asked for more time to make it as "perfect" as possible :])
- ESSAYS: well, the thing is I don't know whether my essays are WONDERFUL or TERRIBLE so let's just assume that they're average :P</p>
<p>That's all I can think of so thanks, in advance, to anyone who pities my condition enough to offer a little insight :]</p>
