OFFICIAL Vassar College Class of 2014 RD Applicants

<p>Nope. I just decided to apply last week on a semi-whim (I’ve had a on-again, off-again relationship with Vassar for the past year…), so I’m still putting together the details.</p>

<p>Not yet because I’m going to do a final read of my Common App essay on Monday before submitting.</p>

<p>Couldn’t figure out what to put in your space so i left it blank…</p>

<p>Did you already submit your app, trackkid?
Can I assume you’re a runner? You could have put a picture of yourself on the track or something. If you think of any ideas for Your Space you could definitely mail it in.</p>

<p>I had a very typical YourSpace: poetry + fiction + science abstract</p>

<p>Srrinath, what did you put in your abstract, exactly? Meaning, what was your project that you discussed in said piece?</p>

<p>It wasn’t exactly an abstract per se. I basically took my project and described it in as accessible a manner as I could in the space of two paragraphs. If could PM me your email address, I’ll send it to you and you can take a look.</p>

<p>For YourSpace I put in a short poem and a few (4-5) interesting and irrelevant details about myself.</p>

<p>I didn’t include anything in my Your Space when i spoke with the Admissions officer when i visited she said that the Your Space thing was just so that they could get to know another aspect of you that was not anywhere else in the application. I included an Activity resume and she said that then that makes the Your Space part of the app obsolete some of the things she said people included though were cookies (i know funny) and the stuff you guys have already mentioned lol</p>

<p>btw I’m Lucas from NYC and i plan to major in either Poli Sci or International Affairs and i’m looking for a career in diplomacy and State Dept. stuff</p>

<p>Hiya Lucas! I’m on LI, haha.</p>

<p>I think for my YourSpace, I’ll send them a love letter. =]</p>

<p>Ahh I applied today! Phew. Feels good to be done with college applications.</p>

<p>Hey everyone.
I’m Ema from Bosnia. Been in love with Vassar for a while now. Prospective psych major.
Put like three sentences about how I want to record audiobooks someday and how I’m good at public speaking in the Your Space section. It was really short so, retrospectively, I wish I had expanded a bit upon it so they don’t think I was just lazy or something, but oh well, what can you do…</p>

<p>Hi everyone,
I’m Eddie from Boston, MA. I’m interested in studying math and economics and I look forward to meeting everyone next year! Feel free to find and friend me on fb if you have any questions about applying, although the deadline seems to be approaching fast.</p>

<p>Hi guys,
I’m Sid from Shanghai, China. I’m so in love with Vassar now, but the applicant pool in China is just so competitive…I’m still working on my why Vassar essay. I hope VC will have mercy on procrastinators like me. Good luck to everyone who has already applied :)</p>

<p>hello everyone!
I’m Tristan from LA and i am the biggest procrastinator in the world. I’m doing my supplement right now and trying to figure out what the heck to put in the your space. good luck to everyone else who applied!</p>

<p>Haha, Tristan. I just started writing mine, so welcome to Procrastination Nation. :)</p>

<p>Hey Sid, can you access the pay online thingy right now? I’ve been freaking out for ages…I can’t open it! It just says “Untitled Page”…ugh…</p>

<p>I am aware that this has been laughed over for years now but I wanted to share anyway:</p>

<p>From Wikipedia–Vassar College Extracurriculars</p>

<p>*Vassar Quidditch: Vassar College also boasts a successful quidditch team, the Butterbeer Brewers. Established in 2007, the Brewers won second place at the 2008 US College Quidditch Cup held at Middlebury College. Quidditch practices are open to any member of the Vassar community and often receive a mixture of confusion and admiration from bystanders.</p>

<p>@Katy, I haven’t submitted supplement or Common App yet so I don’t have access to the payment right now. But I think you can try it on another computer.</p>

<p>I LOVE the fact that Vassar has a Quidditch team… it’s so unique! </p>

<p>I hope that payment thing works out!</p>
