<p>I'm a rising junior, and I'm really interested in attending Vassar once I graduate. How do you think my chances look so far, and what would you recommend I add/improve upon to make my chances even great?</p>
<p>GPA: 3.98 unweighted. I'll be taking one AP class and two honors classes this coming fall though.</p>
<p>SAT: I haven't taken any formal SAT prep classes, but I've been working on improving my scores independently until I do so. Critical Reading is 600, Math is 580, and Writing is a 690. I know they're pretty low, but I'm really proud of my math score because I've already been able to improve it by 110 points after only 4 practice tests, so hopefully I keep on improving. I'll also be trying out the ACT to see if that test is a better fit for me.</p>
<p>I feel like my ECs are one of my strongest assets, as they showcase my passions and interests and are pretty unique.</p>
<p>Personal ECs:
I have a personal blog where I mainly write about art, or showcase personal written pieces, I am the founder and curator of a feminist art and writing collective showcasing the work of teens called The Wandering Collective, I am a contributing photographer, writer, and visual artist to three independent magazine publications, I create sustainable art with recycled materials, and I attended the NSLC.</p>
<p>School ECs:
This year will be the second year I do costumes for the school musicals, I am a member of the Eco Club, and helped organize and host our school's first ever Eco Fair. I am also a member of the Feminist Club, Freshman Mentor Program, and Communist Service Club. I am also a member of the National Honors Society, I play soccer for the school team, I am this years class representative, and I am the founder and leader of the 90s club.</p>
<p>Internships:
I interned at an organic clothing store for a year, and I just finished a summer internship at a Domestic Violence Awareness Center.</p>
<p>My passions include art, writing, film, environmental conservation and sustainability, history, astrology and astronomy, Native American studies, cultural studies, and feminism.</p>
<p>So what do you all think? Chances so far, and what areas can I improve upon? Also, do you have advice for accelerated classes, and how to balance heavy workloads? This has been the first year I've been able to take advanced classes and I'm nervous I won't be able to manage.</p>
