My Chances at Vassar

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm applying to Vassar ED I. I'm a white male from New Jersey.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.4 unweighted, 3.9 weighted
Taken highest possible placement in all courses since freshman year, 5 AP's senior year. Rank not reported.</p>

<p>ACT: 33</p>

<p>As far as extracurriculars go, I am very into music. I am the section leader and lead trumpet player in my school's marching band (state champs 06 and 07), the 'moonglowers' jazz band (state champs 07) and wind ensemble. I am also the president of the National Honor Society and French National Honor Society. I have worked as an intern in a state assemblywoman's legislative office since freshman year. I am co-president of my school's Envirothon team. I recieved an A in a summer course at U Maryland.</p>

<p>I have visited Vassar twice, and met with a music professor to discuss the jazz program. I also submitted an audition CD of myself.</p>

<p>Thanks for your input.</p>

<p>Your UW GPA is a little low. Do you have an upward trend? That would help. Being male will definitely help.</p>

<p>I don't have as much of an upward trend as I have stability. With hope, my 1st marking period senior grades will be an upward slope. What are your though on some of my other schools? </p>

<p>Hamilton, Pomona, Franklin & Marshall, Dickinson, Skidmore</p>

<p>Thanks again</p>
