* I'm really not as dumb as I seem based on these stats. I just slacked off all of highschool and now I am paying for it. </p>

<p>Do I have any chance of acceptance into Vassar? Honesty Please! What can I do now, as a rising senior to increase my chances?</p>

<p>THANKS FOR ANYTHING YOU CAN OFFER!!</p>

<p>what is your race? and why are you so horrible at mathematics?</p>

<p>your ECs are amazing - quite varied, and quite strong, you provide many examples of leadership.</p>

<p>your GPA is, honestly, low - but with a letter of explanation, especially since it is an upward trend - might end up being ok.</p>

<p>are you taking several APs this year??? that will help.</p>

<p>also... if you can (financially), and you know that vassar is where you want to go - you could apply early decision. that would help.</p>

<p>good luck!!! :)</p>

<p>are you planning on swimming in college? because then you could contact the coach, who could recommend you to the adcom</p>

<p>Thanks for all your input!</p>

<p>I'm white and I am terrible at math because I have a "learning disability" specific to math. Although I'm not sure I agree with that diagnosis, math is definately challenging for me.</p>

<p>I would like to swim in college, so it would definately be beneficial to me to contact the coach. Thanks!</p>

<p>well study up on your math and retake the sat's a few times. atleast get the math score up into the 600's. also, when the time comes, write unique/awesome essays.</p>

<p>know that college admissions are unpredictable and unjustified.</p>

<p>Why don't you just ask your college counselor?? Or call admissions? Or just apply and see what happens—your chances increase quite a bit by simply applying.</p>

<p>No one here knows what your chances are.</p>
