<p>Hey. I am a Female senior at a small private school in Los Angeles that does not rank. I really messed up in my freshman year, but got over it and started doing really well afterward. My weighted GPA 10-12 is 4.11, my weighted GPA 9-12 is 3.7, my unweighted GPA 10-12 is 3.7 and my unweighted GPA 9-12 is 3.3. My SAT score was 2320, with an 800 on writing, 770 on CR and 750 on Math. My SAT 2's were 730 on math2, 680 on Spanish and 690 on lit. I am co-president of student council, have traveled to mexico to build houses, do walks for aids and diabetes and such, tutor kids at my school, and have been on varsity tennis for 4 years. Have a job at the grocery store, and am doing an independent study class on education. Writing a 40 page paper for it. I am an interesting case, as I went to drug rehab and am being open about that in my apps. I am making it more about my parents' divorce though, and am using that to explain my poor grades and trip to rehab. Im not making excuses though, it's just true. I am sober and everything now, taking ALL honors classes, really pulling myself up. was wondering if you could give me any insight as to how my chances are. thanks.</p>
<p>They are going to love you. I know a girl who had similar stats to get into Harvard. The failing freshman year is going to give you character. That's what helped the girl I know, coupled with amazing EC's(concert violist), and a rediculous SAT, perfect on verbal, and damn near on the math. You should be fine. I am similarly a little wary about mentioning my moms drug abuse and how I delt with it, but I think it will make a strong essay topic. Good luck. Be straight forward and really stress how sober you are...unless it's Bard or Warren Wilson, haha.</p>
<p>They will love you.</p>
<p>rehab for what?</p>
<p>rehab for alcohol and pot and painkillers</p>
<p>i see. you may know this, but just to be sure, there is a fair amount of substance abuse (or perhaps the correct term would be "recreational drug use") at vassar. granted there is never any pressure to induldge from peers, but i would make sure you are 100% confident in your ability to abstain and remain sober before stepping foot on campus.</p>
<p>yeah i know that. its not like im on shaky ground. ive been sober for about 2 years now. thanks for the concern though.</p>
