The Early Decision Class of 2013 Thread

<p>Hey there! Since we have under a month until the ED1 decisions go out I thought I'd start a thread for all of us to talk. I am so excited and nervous. Any other hopeful drama majors out there? Oh and anyone else from Philly?</p>

<p>HI, my son is applying ed1. we are from NJ. I heard that rates at other LAC's are through the roof (40%) increase at Wesleyan for example. Haven't heard about Vassar though. What other schools are you thinking about as a backup. My son has started with his other apps and it is making me nervous!</p>

<p>Oh and he is a hopeful drama major as well!</p>

<p>Ahhh! I am extremely nervous, but hopeful! I'm from Kentucky.
I promised all of my friends that if I am accepted I will take them all out to sushi. They are also nervous! :P
The increase in early decision also scares me. The class of 2009 is also a very competitive lot of students - at my school, my class is the most competitive we have ever had.</p>

<p>Hey there... just thought I'd drop by and say best of luck! </p>

<p>Also, when the admissions decisions start to come in, it would be helpful if you all post your stats in a thread along with the admissions decision (there's a code from last year in this thread you could use... <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/vassar-college/434695-ed-i-results.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/vassar-college/434695-ed-i-results.html&lt;/a&gt;). It's a great way for future applicants to see how they match up with accepted students.</p>

<p>To any current student (especially littleathiest):
(or anyone who knows the answer to this)
What is the number of student applying to Vassar using ED1 option for class of 2013?</p>

<p>Hey Astrophoenix...</p>

<p>I'm not entirely sure that that data has been released yet. Last year, it wasn't reported to students until after the ED I decisions were mailed out. I'll let you know when/if I hear anything though!</p>

<p>thnx anyway littleathiest :)... I am worried cos ED aplicant number everywhere has gone up...in past years, there were about 700 - 800 ED applicants in Vassar, so I was guessing (wildly) there would be 350 - 400 ED1 applicants. Is that the normal ED1 applicant pool size? what was last year's (different websites have different values)?</p>

<p>we are trying to act calm while surreptitiously glancing at the calendar-only 14 more days!</p>

<p>My son has started the processes of sending out transcripts to other schools-just in case!</p>

<p>Good luck to everyone!</p>

<p>Would love to hear how other ed 1s are coping....what other back up schools are people thinking about? only 13 days left!</p>

<p>Hi, I'm Priyal and I'm an ED1 applicant from Mumbai, India. Eleven days to go :)! I'm really nervous and excited about this, and can't waaaaaiiiiiit! I'm applying to BU and F&M as backups...
I heard Vassar is known for delaying its admission responses, and many students have to call the admissions office up to get them to email them their decision - I hope this isn't true!</p>

<p>i'm reading ann rice's vampire chronicles and harry potter over again to keep myself distracted. ive already gotten into a bad habit about not doing my homework until the morning it is do resulting in a few b's and one F on an anatomy quiz. haha. </p>

<p>if im not accepted i will be applying to middlebury, brown, williams, bard!, BU, CU, sarah lawrence, kenyon, oberlin, and a few others.</p>

<p>Hey, also applied ed1, and am nervously anticipating the result. I'm from the Philly area and plan on a psych major.</p>

<p>Ten days to go :)! This is so strange, EVERYONE on CC is re-reading Harry Potter to get their minds off ED results! And yeah, I know what you mean about the homework thing, I don't get too much done either, I've just lost all desire to work :(
My school allows us to apply to only eight univs in the US, so along with BU as a backup, I'm also applying to Tufts, NYU, Northwestern, Hamilton, Wellesley, and I can't quite make up my mind between Bard and Colgate...</p>

<p>11 days!! :D SO excited!! Luckily, I've been able to distract myself since my school's winter concerts are next week and I have extra rehearsals. Anyway, I hope everyone else is coping with their Harry Potter re-reading, I may have to resort to that once the concerts are done... I should probably maybe get back to doing work now, haha I love senioritis.</p>

<p>My sons are in order of impossibility to safety
Amherst
Brown
cornell
Wash u at St.
Northwestern
Wesleyan
Oberlin
brandeis
Skidmore
Muhlenberg
suny binghamton
Indiana u</p>

<p>I think the true matches are Oberlin, Brandeis, maybe wes and Nortwestern everything else is a reach or a saftey. It was hard to come up with matches for Vassar because that was by far his favorite.</p>

<p>My D is not doing Vassar ED, but I think it is her #1 at this time. Safety is Tulane, already have EA acceptance. Other schools are Brandeis (used to be #1, now she thinks may be too intense), Tufts, Wesleyan, Oberlin, Union & Muhlenberg.</p>

<p>Good luck to the EDers!!</p>

<p>i find it very humorous that last year i remember looking at this thread and being immensely jealous of all the accepted students; now it's my turn.</p>

<p>Seven days guys! The final countdown has begun!</p>

<p>My best friend is applying ED1 to Vassar and is going nuts with waiting. How can I, as a friend help him cope? I admire the way everyone is communicating on this forum for Vassar, no one is communicating on my ED school!</p>
