So I hate myself for making one of these but..

Colleges and Universities A-Z Vassar College

<p>Okay. First, I'm applying EDI. Here are my stats:</p>

<p>GPA: 3.79
SATs: 2100
SAT IIs: World History-740, US History-750
School doesn't rank
Caucasian male from a District of Columbia Public School
National Merit Commended</p>

<p>ECs: Co-Captain of the debate team (have been debating for four years), Features Editor for the school paper, various school plays, Harvard Model Congress, Academy Advisory Group member</p>

<p>APs
(2007)
French Language: 4
US History: 5
English Lit and Comp: 5</p>

<p>I'm taking four APs this year</p>

<p>Besides French, I've taken Latin since 9th grade, and am also taking Korean at the George Washington University (it's pretty nearby).</p>

<p>For my essay, I wrote about how parental absence impacted Holden Caulfield in the Catcher in the Rye, and what that means for me (I'm a test-tube baby, so I have absolutely no idea who my father is). I thought it was pretty good.</p>

<p>AHHH I'm totally against this whole chancing thing, but I'm starting to freak out, so I would really appreciate some CC input here.</p>

<p>Um, I'd say you've got a fantastic chance. Why? Because, no joke, you have almost EXACTLY the same stats that I did last year--same SAT I, SAT IIs in the same ballpark, GPA differs by 0.01, one less AP than you, school does not rank, ECs of a similar claiber, National Merit Commended--when I applied and got into Vassar RD (the one major difference is that I went to a private high school; and I don't think that should really affect things). Seeing as you're male, you should have an even better chance than I did. So yeah, I'd say if Vassar's consistent about who they let it, you've got an excellent shot.</p>

<p>EXCELLENT chances.</p>

<p>I'm taking the SAT again on Saturday. Hopefully I'll pull my score up a little.</p>
