Any chance for me at Vassar College?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I am a junior at a public school in New York-
Ethnicity: White/Indian
GPA: Weighted 3.8 (out of possible 4.0)
ACT: 30 composite- 33 writing, 32 reading, 24 math, 29 science. This was my first time taking it, and have since began math tutoring. I plan to take it at least two more times. I have received perfect scores on the english portions in practice tests, however my math still needs a lot of work.
Rank: Within top 25%
Grades: I (immaturely) screwed around a lot freshmen year, I pulled myself together towards the end of Sophomore year, and Junior year I am doing well. I have increased my GPA by roughly 3 points every year.
Freshman year: 89.1
Sophomore: 92.2
Junior (through third quarter) 95.0
APs: Sophomore- World History , Junior- English Language and Composition, Biology, US History. Next year- Macro and Micro Economics, English Literature, Spanish, Government.</p>

<p>In School Extra Curricular: New York State Youth and Government (first ranked team last year, nominated again this year), Middle Eastern Club, Spanish Honors Society, National Honors Society, Moot Court (placed second in a large, multi-state moot court competition hosted by Princeton), Basketball, Diving</p>

<p>Out of School Extra Curricular: Service Trip to Nicaragua to build two homes in two weeks, 16 day Spanish immersion stay with a host family in Spain, employed for four months on a mayoral campaign in my town. This summer I have been accepted into a 3 week long course at Columbia on the topic of the development of third world nations. </p>

<p>Intended major: Political Science/International Relations </p>

<p>Also, my mother is a Vassar alumni, will that help?</p>

<p>Notes: I paid very little interest my schooling freshmen year and received a frightening wake up call when I saw my grades. Since then I have attempted to continuously raise my grades, so hopefully schools will see this upward trend. I hope that I have also shown initiative through my extra-curriculars and that they demonstrate a genuine interest in politics and worldly affairs. I have certain teachers (who are very fond of me) from whom I would expect very thoughtful letters of recommendations.</p>

<p>You have a pretty good chance at Vassar, but they’re very selective. My friend is applying there too! Her stats are pretty similar to yours, except your GPA is higher. You do need to work on your math ACT, and maybe even pull up your science ACT if possible. The higher the better!</p>

<p>You’ve demonstrated an upward trend gradewise, so that looks good. Having a family alumni always works too!</p>

<p>Just pull up your ACT and I can see you be accepted :)</p>
