[<em>] Essays: The Common App essay was really powerful. It discussed an important time in my life (too personal to mention on CC) and how I grew/learned from it. My Vassar Supp. essay was honsetly, kind of generic. I was passionate about what I said, don’t get me wrong, but I think that what I said is what everyone else said (I like the small size, special attention, 10:1 student-faculty ratio, etc).

I’m pumped. Really pumped. Vassar wasn’t my top choice, but it was definitely up there. I’m very happy to have been accepted here, despite my rather poor performance elsewhere in the college admissions process. 9:1 odds say that I’ll see you all next year!</p>

<p>Essays (subject and responses): My Common App essay was about my love of black holes and relating it to the way I take on challenges.

I just wanted to get to NYC so I was upset we had to stop in the middle of nowhere, but we took the tour, and I feel in love.</p>

<p>Teacher Recs: One was pretty good (hard and strange AP physics teacher who teaches at the college level; he made us write our own recs and submit them to him just so he could show us what difficult work it is to write a rec for someone :stuck_out_tongue: ) Second was GREAT (AP english teacher who adores me and also went to vassar)</p>

<p>Counselor Rec: Excellent…we had to take personal interviews with her before she would write them for us, but she hit on a lot of details we wanted to include.</p>

<p>Applied on: wow that was a long time ago…lol</p>

<p>Hook (if any): I did all the extra stuff…my picture was a photo of me shark diving off the coast of the island I live on, the extra “essay” was actually a pair of purple pants that i bought at walmart and i wrote my essay/poem on that (which i kinda want back to wear for myself :stuck_out_tongue: ) and i sent in the music supplement. Also, the great recs probably helped. And my location…there aren’t a lot of people from Hawaii at Vassar from what i understand…</p>

<p>[/list]General Comments/Congratulations/Venting/Commiserations,etc:
I’m actually pretty stoked…I was reading everyone else’s stats and it’s amazing how smart everyone else is! I can’t wait to surround myself with such people. I only applied to 6 schools, all competitive and on the east coast. Of the 6, i was rejected at one, wait listed at two, and accepted to 3. I received scholarship to all three, but Vassar is giving me the most (half tuition). Most likely will end up here. Its far away, but Im excited!!! :D</p>
