Transferring to Vassar?

Transfer Students
1

<p>I'm currently a second semester freshmen at College of the Holy Cross in Worcester. </p>

<p>My first semester, I had a 3.7 GPA (the average GPA at my college is 3.23)
This semester, it is pretty much the same GPA</p>

<p>I am looking to transfer to Vassar because they have a better curriculum (the lack of extensive distribution requirements prevents classes from being dull due to a lack of participation) and because my school does not offer many different French, history, and theatre courses. </p>

<p>In high school, I was in the top 10% of my class and my GPA was 4.2 (my school didn't even show us the unweighted GPA). I took all honors and AP classes and was heavily involved in theatre, model UN, gay-straight alliance, and multicultural club. I volunteered at a doctor's office. I was also awarded the Alumni Theatre Award and inducted into the Cum Laude association (private school equivalent of the honors society) </p>

<p>In college, I was the only freshman female in the only fall department show. I was involved in Gay Straight Alliance, International Student Union, Amnesty International, and the Passport Program (an invitational summer study program). </p>

<p>I got a great rec from my French professor. </p>

<p>My SAT total was 2030 and I got a 750 and a 730 on my SAT subject tests. </p>

<p>I'm really worried about not getting in. What are my chances?</p>

<p>Vassar is incredibly hard to transfer into... they have a very high retention rate.</p>

<p>I'd say this: everyone has a shot, but it's very unlikely.</p>

<p>someone i know transferred into vassar, after attending 2 different schools (loyola marymount and university of san francisco), and her gpa wasnt even all that. Vassar isnt as hard to get into as they make it seem.</p>

5

<p>They do accept about 20% of transfer applicants out of 180 that apply. I guess it is a matter of how I compare to other applicants, which is a very difficult question to answer.</p>

<p>I bet it is alot easier for males.</p>
