Chances for Vassar, NYU (with correct GPA this time), PLUS I need a LA safety!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>First of all, thank you to everyone who helped me figure out my GPA and who have responsed to my other posts. I am really clueless about college stuff because nobody in my family has gone to a competitive college. This forum is awesome!</p>

<p>GPA: 3.6 UW
Class rank: 45/401 (is this bad?)
SAT: Pending, from reading the answer threads here I'm pretty sure I got around 2100
Recommendations: Already asked my English teacher, definitely asking my French teacher and maybe my AP US teacher in the fall
Essay: Writing is definitely my strong point, possible topics include my trip to China, vegetarianism, the influence some authors have had on me. These are kind of cliche but they actually have impacted my life.</p>

<p>Classes:
Freshman
-English Honors
-French 1
-Math Honors A1/A2
-Orchestra
-Biology Honors
-Global Honors </p>

<p>Sophomore
-English Honors
-French 2

<p>Junior

<p>Senior

-College Economics (3 credits offered by LIU)
-French 4

<p>Extracurriculars: National Art Honor Society, French Honor Society, Art Club, tutoring and volunteering at 2 animal shelters for over a year each. Planning on a photo internship this fall if it works out. I really really want to try to start a vegetarian club this fall, but I need to find a supervisor.</p>

<p>I live on Long Island and I'm looking for other liberal art schools not TOO far away. Think the Boston/Upstate NY/Phildelphia area. I really want small classes with quirky clubs. That's why I love Vassar (vegan co-op!!!!! and quidditch). An amazing library doesn't hurt either.</p>

<p>Thank you for any help!!!</p>

<p>Definitely choose NYU over Vassar if those two options are open. You will get in Vassar for sure but idk about NYU. Why do u have Vassar as one of your options first of all?</p>

<p>Vassar is a good distance away from my home - far enough so I can live there, but close enough so I can come frequently. From what I have seen the campus looks awesome. I love the vegan co-op and the weird clubs. </p>

<p>Why are you acting like I shouldn't be interested in Vassar? It's a very good school from what I have heard.</p>

<p>Well, for the reasons they said, right? (great library, quidditch, vegan co-op, near NYC). I'm pretty sure Vassar it as least a little harder to get into than NYU. Lower acceptance rate, higher SAT ranges, and such. I would put it as a slight reach, just because of the class rank, and because the GPA could be a tiny bit higher.</p>

<p>if you want small classes, you wont be happy with nyu. other schools similar to vassar would be wesleyan, skidmore, conn college, bard</p>

<p>I still don't get why they don't like Vassar!</p>

<p>for possible safety/matches - hampshire college in amherst, massachusetts - bennington college in vermont - eugene lang college in nyc - good luck !</p>

<p>For the record, I think Vassar is great, and would be an excellent fit for you. I disagree with ladygirl.</p>
