<p>Hi, i'm a senior considering Vassar for EDII. I'm interested in studying Eastern Religions and taking Mandaring and Sanskrit as foreign languages. Thing is, I don't think I can get into Vassar RD.</p>

<p>My stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.8 Weighted, 3.25 UW</p>

<p>SAT CR:800 M:680 W:650</p>

<pre><code> Lit:710 Math1:710 USHist:740
</code></pre>

<p>AP's: UShist, 5.</p>

<p>AP's senior year: Literature, Microecon, Biology</p>

<p>Yourspace: Essay on how juggling is a therapy</p>

<p>I just want to make sure that before I apply ED, Vassar's Asian Studies and Religion program is good enough to get me into a grad school with an amazing Asian Studies/Sanskrit program (Like Brown, Harvard)</p>

<p>Your SATII’s are fab, and your CR is outstanding (obviously) but it kind of sucks that your M and your W were in the 600’s. I mean, I get it. I got 680 on my M, too, but it’s so close! But still your scores are ace.</p>

<p>The AP’s should help, but your GPA is kind of hanging by a thread for Vassar, I think. But still they look more at what classes you’ve taken. Your essay sounds interesting, but I’d like to know more about your extracurriculars or if you have any hooks, like legacy, or first-gen college, etc.</p>
