<p>Great test scores bad uw gpa</p>

<p>is it good enough?</p>

<p>First of all, suatkilic is right in saying that your GPA is a bit low for Vassar. The average for last year's accepted class was, for example, a 3.7 (A-), so your grades are a bit lower than ideal. Have you been taking the toughest course load available to you? In addition, have you any idea what your class rank is? If you've been challenging yourself and/or your class rank is high (top 15%), your GPA might be overlooked a little.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, I also agree with suatkilic in saying that your test scores are quite good for Vassar... they put you nicely above the 50% mark for admitted students from last year. You don't list your SAT II scores (they're required for Vassar), but as long as they're on part with your SAT I score, I'd say your in good shape, from a standardized test standpoint.</p>

<p>Lastly, your extracurriculars. I you're interested in playing tennis at Vassar, be sure to contact the coach... a good word from a coach could make the difference on an application that's on the fence. Your volunteer works look good... how involved have you been with it? If you've been doing it consistently for several years, it's an excellent thing to have; however, if it's something that you've only started doing recently or haven't been that involved with, it won't help your application quite as much. Also, it's interesting that you've traveled to third-world countries, but I'm not sure if that falls under the category of extracurriculars unless you've somehow been involved in something like community service there. </p>

<p>Overall, I think Vassar is going to be between a reach and a semi-reach for you. If you've been taking tough classes and have a good standing in your class, your chances are closer to a semi-reach.</p>

<p>thanks bro
but im like in the 25% percentile of my class
and im gettin my sat 2 scores on christmas day
one would be above 700 and another hopefully high 650.
i actually only did hospital hours in one summer, is it alright?
others things i been doin for years
and no im not that good to play college tennis:)
i believe i read some thread that said you attend vassar,
do you know anyone in my shoes?</p>

<p>Yes, I am a current student (sophomore). I haven't really talked to all that many people at Vassar about their high school grades and SAT scores, so can't say that I know anyone who has a similar profile to you. The few people I have talked to had a GPA at or above the average for my year's (and last year's) freshman class, 3.7. Keep in mind, though, that that's a very small group of people, so it doesn't necessarily mean anything. There probably are students at Vassar who got in with an average closer to yours; I just can't say I know of any.</p>

<p>The 25% quartile is a little low for Vassar, but not terrible. What sort of classes have you taken? Are you in mostly regular classes or have you been taking a lot of honors, APs, and IB courses? One thing I've talked about more with my classmates at Vassar is high school courses. From these discussions, I'd say that a rigorous course load with a good amount of honors courses and at least a couple of APs or IBs (assuming your school offers them) is something most Vassar students have in common. That's also something to keep in mind... if you've been taking really challenging courses throughout high school, your GPA might not hurt you as much. </p>

<p>Regarding extracurriculars, I can say that I know a few people who got into Vassar with fewer involvements than you. The keys with extracurriculars; however, is not quantity but rather passion and long-term involvement (leadership positions often help). I'm glad to hear you have some things you've been involved in for years... be sure that you highlight their importance to you on your application. </p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
