<p>33 ACT, 3.2 GPA UW, 4.2 W. Florida, white, female.</p>
<p>I got a 2330 on the SAT but I have a 3.6 GPA or so… in the bottom half of my class 
My school doesn’t rank though.</p>
<p>True Life: I Have Awesome Standardized Test Scores But My GPA Sucks</p>
<p>i’m jealous of all of you that have normal GPAs!! my school’s scale is so weird haha my GPA is a 5.08 which makes no sense at all i don’t know why we do it that way. my school doesn’t rank either but there are only 114 people in my class and we’re really competitive so we all know each other’s GPAs haha</p>
<p>Oof- I hear ya, marleegrace!</p>
<p>I just had a dream that I got accepted! Hopefully that’s a good sign. Also thank god I have a lot of distractions this weekend. Tonight I’m seein Marina and the Diamonds and tomorrow is my great-grandma’s hundredth birthday party :)</p>
<p>nerve-racking experience.</p>
<p>Never in my life have I been more excited for a Monday to come.</p>
<p>ahah so true. this weekend can’t go by fast enough.</p>
<p>I’m so nervous. Keep having Vassar-related dreams. Counselor’s optimism is terrifying rather than promising. My friends all got denied to their dream schools too.
Me: 2220 SAT (760 CR 780 W 680 M), involved in a few extracurriculars deeply, 4.2 weighted GPA (not sure what it is unweighted since my school doesn’t calculate that, or class rank), white female from Midwest, 730 Lit and 760 Us hist SAT II’s, supposedly glowing essays and recs … I’m just so scared even though objectively my chances are pretty good (or so I’ve been told). I think that no one can be confident about getting in. Monday Monday Monday Monday Monday.</p>
<p>Hi. I am an Upstate New Yorker who has been obsessed with Vassar for too long. I stalk all sorts of threads on this site daily but I just found the 2017 thread recently. So yeah I applied ED1 too. Oh, and thank you to the people who were discussing financial aid stuff because I also had not submitted and this caused me to realize that I needed to do that ASAP so I am forever in your debt for that!
This weekend is and will continue to be torturous for all of us I am sure! I have so much chemistry homework but none of it is going to get done because I am too busy designing my dorm…</p>
<p>My stepmom said she’d do my financial aid stuff because she has all the information, but she’s yet to do it… I don’t think I’m gonna be getting financial aid, thanks stepmom.</p>
<p>That sucks! Yea I sent mine in slightly late…not that ill get much anyways but still. :/</p>
<p>Oh and the fact that most of you have 2250+ SATs is making me kind of nervous…</p>
<p>I’ve been lying in bed and listening to beach house all day because I’m too nervous to function. Also, I made the idiotic decision to tell everybody that I applied ED. People will inevitably be asking me nonstop on Monday. I have a feeling that repeating “oh, I was rejected” over and over and pretending that I’m not emotionally destroyed won’t be fun.</p>
<p>I don’t think we can use GPA as an accurate barometer of admissions likelihood…the calculation protocol varies so significantly that most schools just rely on the transcript to demonstrate course rigor and the student’s intellectual abilities.</p>
<p>Agreed, but you should still have around an A- gpa with AP’s,like I have a 3.8 but with all honors and 7 APs</p>
<p>at my school, only a few classes are leveled and only three APs are offered, but the classes are all still really hard. I think in that respect, the school profile helps make admissions decisions.</p>
<p>@WhyAmI, I specifically told all my friends: “Do not ask me if I got in. If I got in, I will tell you, and if I got rejected, I don’t want to talk about it.”
I’ll still have to deal with my parents/grandparents asking me, though : (</p>
<p>yea I told my parents NOT to tell anyone…but they still told my whole extended family and our family friends lol</p>
