<p>alright, question..... does anyone think that maybe a 4 on the AP Language and Comp exam MIGHT possibly counteract my 660 for CR? cause in a sense it's sort of similar.... maybe?? do they look at AP scores anyways??</p>
<p>Work hard on your essays--it seems to me that those are really important to Vassar, from what everyone says about their writing/essays here. I wonder whether they didn't like mine and that's why I didn't get in....AGH this is torture.</p>
<p>I got a letter from my admissions officer saying that the lateness and format of my grades here in Argentina have nothing to do with my deferral. I'm actually really relieved because that means that I was deferred purely based on my own parts of the application, if that makes any sense. It's all me. I've been thinking about my application and I think that they might have disliked my essays, my grades, or just generally how I fit into the incoming class pool, but essentially, in my opinion, the best thing I can do is make the whole picture more personal. I've been working pretty hard on some stuff to send in and I really hope that it gives them a better sense of who I am...and I hope that they like what they see. I don't know how they feel about extra submissions, but it really can't hurt...</p>
<p>hey, yeah seole, that is good to know at least. after i was rejected from cornell, my guidance counselor tried to call them and speak with them, but said that they were extremely rude and would not answer any questions. whatever, because i love vassar so much more and this whole experience has really made me see that! but anyways, yeah, it seems that you will show them how much you truly want vassar and how you are very determined so that is good. good luck!</p>
<p>I have been told that, if you were deferred at Vassar, you should send them a letter telling them that they continue to be your first choice school and that you remain very interested in going there. And - if you can retool your application - work hard on the essay (it's HOW you write just as muich as WHAT you write) and redo your resume (yes, attach one if you didn't before) and be sure it focuses on Quality, not Quantity. Far more important that you've played tennis all your life and have risen to be captain of your school team, or that you're an all-state musician, than to list a zillion activities. Good luck!
