<p>SAT II's are fine...don't worry. Top 20% ranking is needed unless your prep school is known by Vassar as one of the best or has had success with other grads from your school...</p>

<p>yeah youre fine. i agree that youre sat ii are fine. i had considerably worse sat ii's (and a 2 on u.s. histo ap test!) and they took me. the male thing helps a bit, but the gay thing definitely doesnt. not that it hurts, of course. just wait and see! dont worry. worrying is pointless.</p>
