<p>Your SAT score is barely above the 25% level of accepted students, and your weighted GPA is good but not stellar; also, your class rank is good but not stellar. I know that some ED applicants with stats better than yours were denied or deferred. I definitely think Vassar is a high reach for you. I suppose if I had to guess, I would guess you will be denied. BUT, you ARE within the 25-75 SAT range, and Vassar does say that the “average” Vassar student is in the top 10% of their class, so with your ECs and if your essays are great, you definitely have a chance. Good luck!</p>

<p>I think your SAT scores are a bit on the lower side but you have good ECs. Considering you are applying ED, I would say it’s a low reach. If you want a better chance, you should apply ED2. Chance back?
