<p>your stats look great and your ec's are amazing. I think you have a great chance at all of your schools. For MIT though, you'll have to do well on SAT II's I believe and write some good essays. Good luck</p>

<p>Thanks!
Vassar '11? Awesome! How do you like it so far?</p>

<p>Yup, Vassar '11 :). I enjoyed my first year a great deal; although Vassar wasn't my first choice when I applied to schools, I now could scarcely imagine going anywhere else. The people are fantastic, the professors are very approachable, the classes are usually interesting and challenging, the campus is beautiful, and the types of activities offered (whether it be extracurricular, leisurely, athletic, or otherwise) are varied and numerous. In summation, it's definitely a wonderful place to go to school.</p>

<p>Best of luck on your own college admissions process!</p>
