Official Vassar Early Decision II Thread

<p>Who here has applied or is thinking of applying ED II to Vassar?</p>

<p>I will most likely apply to Vassar ED II if I do not get accepted EA to my top choice (UChicago). I’ve kind of fell in love with Vassar over the last couple of months :)</p>

<p>Haha I’m in the same situation, but with brown.</p>

<p>Just sent in my EDII application, anyone else?</p>

<p>Just applied!! :D</p>

<p>What are your stats?</p>

<p>I am applying EDII too</p>

<p>Hey, I’m planning on applying ED II. The only issue… someone from my same high school got admitted ED I. She has better test scores, has better rank (she is #2 and I’m #4), and is a minority, and the only leg up I have is that I’m part of a lot of extra curriculars and a few more challenging classes. Let me know if I have a chance. Thanks!</p>

<p>What are your test scores, ec’s, etc?</p>

<p>and I want to add that I’m not holding anything against her. No matter what happens, she (and anyone who gets admitted to such a wonderful college) deserves to have been admitted, I just want to know if I have a possibility too.</p>

<p>SATs:1770
ACT: 25
APs: UP US (3), AP Gov. (2), AP Lang (3), and I’m taking AP Environmental and AP Literature
**our school offers 8 APs total and 3 honors classes, which I did take</p>

<p>I have about 430 community service hours, and as for ECs there are a lot to list so I’ll just put the important ones:
EIC of Yearbook for 3 years, plus 3 years of Yearbook Camp (I’m a nerd, I know)
11 musicals, 2 plays, and 1 one act
Chamber Singers 3 years
Junior Class President
a pre-college program
Teen Court
Drama Club 4 years
National Honor Society
Piano lessons for 11 years
Voice lessons for 8 years
Accapella group for 1 year
and a few other little things</p>

<p>As previously stated I’m 4/298 and have a GPA of 4.0 UW according to my school.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>What’s your favorite thing about Vassar ?</p>

<p>Well I think my favorite aspect of Vassar College is that they allow for the student to choose his/her own path through their courses, and how involved the students are because of the small class sizes and organizations. It allows for every student to have a voice, which is just the kind of college I’m looking for. I also feel that Vassar does a terrific job of choosing students for the right reasons, not just from test scores (but I could be wrong).</p>

<p>Ha, is that your why Vassar essay?</p>

<p>haha no, but those are the points I’m going to write about. Why?</p>

<p>Jw, it seemed like an essay-ish</p>

<p>ACT - 30
GPA - 87
5 AP’s, the rest are Honors/accelerated</p>

<p>I’m a male too, Vassar loves guys
Very strong essay, had it read by the former president haha.
Tons of sports/volunteer/Clubs/NHS
Science Research, won a few competitions</p>

<p>Judging by last year’s common data set, Vassar accepts close to 50% of guys for ED
Hopefully statistics prove me right :)</p>

<p>And I love Vassar because of how small and tight-knit it is. Very strong CompSci program, and it’s also only a 45min drive north of my home (I’ll be dorming though).</p>

<p>Do you have a link to those ED statistics? I was unaware the Ed admit rate for guys was that high</p>

<p>^^</p>

<p>Vassar doesn’t publish gender-specific ED statistics. I’m not aware of any college that does.</p>

<p>There is some data, <a href=“Vassar College Admissions Statistics and Chances | Parchment - College admissions predictions.”>Vassar College Admissions Statistics and Chances | Parchment - College admissions predictions.; but it is old and doesn’t distinguish gender between ED and RD.</p>
