Chances as a Spring Transfer?

<p>Hey!
I'm currently a freshman at Oberlin College. I'm looking to transfer and Vassar is definitely high up on my list. I like the Spring Transfer option and will probably send in an app. I'm using CC as a sounding board for what my chances might be?</p>

<p>College GPA: 3.75
HS GPA: 3.1 (at a very academic school, lots of grade deflation)</p>

<p>SAT: 2130
SAT II: English Lit 780; Math I 630
AP: English Lit 4; English Lang 4</p>

<p>National Merit Commended (MA)</p>

<p>Course of Study: English and Victorian Studies double major; Drama and Religion minors</p>

<p>ECs:
Student Rep. on my High School's Board of Trustee's
Assistant to the Editor-in-Chief of an up and coming Theater Magazine
Summer Theater Intensive at Shakespeare & Company
Intern at Ko Festival of Performance
Lead in many high school plays
Production Intern at Huntington Theatre Co., Boston
Voice Lessons
Finalist at Statewide Chapter of English Speaking Union Shakespeare Competition
Box Office and Concessions Jobs at Shakespeare & Company
Editor for high school's Literary Magazine
Math Tutor to local children
Oberlin Student's for Reproductive Freedom
Oberlin Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Member
Oberlin Swing and Blues Dance </p>

<p>Recommendations: Strong High School Recs; I plan to get an additional recommendation from my Religion and Gender Studies professor.</p>

<p>Reasons for transferring: Vassar's Victorian Studies department, the breadth and depth of English, Religion, and Drama courses. The extensive student theater. The house system. Close proximity to NY. </p>

<p>Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Does anyone have advice or ideas about my chances? Any help at all would be appreciated!!</p>

<p>I can’t comment on your chances but from your EC’s, Vassar would be an excellent place for you!</p>

<p>You have a shot. Your SAT is within the 25-75 range, and as a NM Commended Scholar, that puts you in about the top 3.5% or so. I have no idea about whether it’s harder to transfer there than just be admitted in the first place though. Seems like the college would fit your wishes though. Good luck!</p>
