Talent / ability: um, none really. i can draw pretty well but I didn’t have enough time to put together an art portfolio. I love creating writing and will probably submit a creative writing piece for Your Space.

Level of Applicant’s Interest: I’m very interested. Vassar is probably my top choice, should I mention this anywhere in my application? I would apply EDII but my parents won’t let me commit this early.
