<p>Hi-</p>

<p>Would appreciate any feedback on my chances at Vassar. I posted this on the Chance Me Forum but thought I would go to the individual schools as well. First time on CC but have been lurking here for a bit.</p>

<p>Class of 2012 - large public high school in the North East - Male - Take a mix of AP & Honors classes (a college prep mixed in here in there due to scheduling)</p>

<p>Major: considering one or all - History / Political Science / Economics : may go to law school</p>

<p>GPA: 3.82
Senior Year: just started but commited to making all A's
Junior Year: all A's
Sophmore Year: A's & B's
Freshman Year: A's, B's & two C+'s
**Freshman year I went to a private school where I commuted 3+ hours per day. Transferred to large public school at end of freshman year. I have the long commute and a school transfer in my defense for less than perfect grades.</p>

<p>SCORES:
SAT:
1410/1600 OR 2080/2400
(CR=740 / M= 670 / WR = 670)

<p>Wow you are a college beast! You definitely have a good chance if getting in. I know people who go there class of '15 who had lower stats and lower extracurricular activities. I wish you all the best :D</p>

<p>It bumps the thread to the top of the list so it shows there has been a new post and since there is a ten character limit I say 10char to take up space. I googles it awhile ago haha</p>

<p>WHY DO PEOPLE TAKE VASSAR SO LIGHTLY?</p>

<p>Meryl Streep and Lisa Kudrow went there, and also Steven King’s son. It’s a boon if you got in!</p>

<p>Vivaciousakrish - Not sure where you are coming from with your comment! In what way has it been portrayed in this thread that Vassar is being considered lightly?</p>
