<p>I think you're in excellent shape. Your GPA is right around the average for Vassar students (a 3.7, or A-), your classes look suitably challenging, and your standardized test scores are fantastic. In addition, your extracurriculars and awards look quite solid. Based on this, I would say that Vassar is a good fit for you... you certainly have the stats, scores, and activities to get in, but it's hard to say "you're in" for sure because of Vassar's selectivity.</p>
