Well, yes that argument is a bit shot. Now, let’s look at the opening statement in your first post:
kisskisskiss, I think you would really truly benefit from give yourself a virtual bonk on the head and allowing yourself to look at things in a different light.</p>
<p>Your “declining” grades are basically quite stable and at a very high,no excellent, level. The problem is not in your grades, but in your perception of them. Applying for transfer with the notion that your current grades are something to apologize for is not a good plan, in my opinion. Listening to your (in my opinion) jaundiced and unrealistic view of your grades makes <em>me</em> wonder how realistic your perception of your school is. I don’t see why an Admissions reader at another school would see it any differently.</p>
<p>If you want to transfer, your best plan, in my opinion, is to Let It Go as to your view of Vassar. Build on the strength of your transcript and present an application that shows your best side - what you have done, what you want to do, how the new school fits that and what you will bring to them.</p>
<p>STEP AWAY from the unrealistic perception of your own record as well as Vassar’s. I think that perception will only hurt you.</p>
