<p>@12345n - Vassar doesn’t give merit scholarships, so there’s that. Your test scores are within range of being accepted, but definitely not a slam dunk. By not applying for financial aid, I assume that means you can afford full price?</p>
<p>@stepay yup thanks I will be paying full price. That’s weird though because the admissions rep who visited said that if my IB score is in the 40s, I will automatically be considered for one as all students are when they send their application.</p>
<p>@wldb15 So Vassar’s a liberal arts college, so it didn’t ask me for a specific concentration, just a range of courses I’m interested in. I chose economics, psychology, drama and art history </p>
<p>Wow! you have good scores, tons of ECs, 4 HLs (including Math - I know the struggle) and great GPA and high predicted grades… to me this sounds amazing and I wish that you get in! Let me know when the results come! Best of luck!</p>
