You are within range for Vassar. Good luck to you. Vassar is a terrific school.

I agree that you are in their range, but almost no one is a shoo-in at Vassar – not quite like an Ivy, but it’s close enough for you to not be comfortable. If you REALLY are interested, consider ED. If you aren’t going to do that, make sure that Vassar understands your passion about whatever it is you are passionate about, and if you can work that into being passionate about Vassar, then do that. Good luck.
