Are you saying your GCSEs are all As/A*s? Is your internship at the newspaper more than a week or two of shadowing? Have you won awards at any of the competitions you head?
Most important question: what is the core reason for ‘why Vassar’?
Yeah, my GCSE’s are all A*s/A’s. The internship is a month long. Yeah I’ve won awards at Model UN and Parliamentary Debates.
Reason for applying? It has one of the strongest English Programs in the country, along with his strength in social sciences. It also has a lack of a core curriculum, lack of greek life and a more liberal and accepting environment (slightly imp for me ). It doesn’t hurt that the campus is gorgeous too.

Vassar is need aware for internationals, but all the objective bits that anybody can critique look good- now it will be down to your essays & recs.
Are you applying ED?
I’m still deciding between Vassar and Pomona. But in all likelihood, yes.
