Do I seem like I have an okay shot? It’s so hard to tell and I have no idea. I have my heart set on Vassar, and I don’t want to considering how competitive it is. Does it help that I plan on majoring in International Relations/political science with a minor in French/Arabic, and most of my extracurriculars reflect that? Also, if you could recommend any other schools that you think would be a good fit, thank you!
