<p>Essays: I wrote about my experience in an international conference. How that experience awoke an interest in international relations and how my university doesn't offer many courses in that area. Then I wrote how Vassar will give me what I'm looking for and I ended ...and that's a fact (an allusion to a video Vassar has asking its students facts about Vassar). I've been told by other cc's here that they were great :D
LOR: I sent two, both from my Poli Sci professors. They both put me in top 1% in everything. One even said that out of the 18 years he as been teaching he has only encountered 4 students of my caliber. All of them lawyers, and one passed the bar exam with a perfect score (and it was his first try). </p>
<p>What are my chances?</p>
is it that bad??/</p>
