<p>Yes... it's another one of those!
I'm an international student who has applied to Vassar as an ED II applicant, and I would like to know what my chances are... I know I'll find out soon but I'd rather have some kind of an idea of where I stand. I know some test scores aren't that great, especially Physics (I thought formulae were given etc and we haven't covered all of the topics that I was tested on) and the English sections of my SAT I. I wish I had taken the SAT IIs again, especially Math and German. I know I would have done better on both (I took them junior year). </p>
<p>Anyway. My Stats:</p>
<p>School Type: Private
Location: Munich, Germany
Race/Gender: Caucasian/Female
Prospective Major: Mathematics or a double major with film
Unweighted GPA: 6.17 (out of 7)
Weighted GPA: 6.45 (out of 7)
Class rank: - school does not rank/they don't tell you (they do have a list of GPAs but they somehow don't feel like telling us...) </p>
<p>SAT I Math: 750
SAT I Critical Reading: 560
SAT I Writing: 620
TOEFL Score: 263
ACT Composite: 1st time: 26, 2nd time: 27 (best of each area would have given me a 28)
SAT II Math IIC: 670
SAT II Physics: 550
SAT II German: 660</p>

<p>I'm not sure about recommendations but they should be good. I haven't read them, but the math teacher who wrote my recommendation told me he'd write really good things about me. Hopefully they, and my essays, were good :). </p>
<p>Oh and I need financial aid. But I plan to work during the summers (hard core) to earn money for college.</p>
