<p>jeez that’s impressive. sounds like you have a great shot at getting in! i don’t think they’ll look at your gpa out of context, so they’ll understand that your school doesn’t weigh honors and that you couldn’t take APs until senior year.</p>

3

<p>oh boy, I hope so :3</p>

4

<p>I’d say your quite borderline with your app. Your chances are decent at best.</p>

5

<p>extremely impressive. you definitely have a good chance, especially because you fill a niche with your ballet and piano. your app is way better than “borderline” and your chances are way more than “decent.” good luck!</p>

<p>Vassar can be difficult to get into RD if they haven’t seen a sincere evidence of interest. Can you apply EDII? By he way the ballet classes are unusually strong for a non-major program.</p>
