Vassar Class of 2021

Couldn’t find a thread, so just making one to talk with other applicants/prospective students who wish to talk about the process before decisions are made!

Anyone else apply ED I?

Me! 5 days in and I’m already so anxious about the my admissions result. Really hoping I get in.

@lalalemma Exciting! do you know what you want to study at vassar?

I’m applying ED1. Cant believe its almost mid-December the stress is ramping up. I have one question. Did anyone else do a Your Space admission? I did a video about me but i felt like mine was too goofy and silly.

@preilly09 I know, December is already this week and to think our decisions are coming in 2-3 weeks is insane!!

I submitted a YourSpace submission with some of my writing, which I also thought was a little meh but whatever, we’ll see what happens!

Hi! Just wanted to say good luck to everyone; I applied and was accepted ED1 into the Class of 2020. My decision came out on December 10th (a Thursday) if that helps to ballpark when you will hear back. Good luck everyone :slight_smile:

hello! i also applied ED and am getting a little antsy. i heard that in the past decisions have come out on friday? would thursday be unusual, or does the day of the week not really matter? i am kinda just searching for any kind of certainty in this process!

Hi! I also applied ED I. I’m super excited/nervous to hear back from Vassar. What did you all find so appealing about Vassar that made you want to apply ED?

@a_kruegs When I visited the campus, the students made it feel very welcoming and I vibed with the people there, plus the academics are amazing! Wbu?

@a_kruegs they were one of the first schools to establish bystander intervention trainings on campus (which is super important to me) and their theatre department is just stunning!! and their traditions are fun

Chance me at Vassar?
International Student, 1880 SAT, 113 TOEFL, around 3.3 and 3.7 GPA, average extra curriculars.

When do you guys think admissions decision will be announced? I’m so anxious, especially since they haven’t emailed us yet about the exact date yet D;

I hadn’t even heard of it before visiting but I absolutely fell in love! And all the research I did backed it up :slight_smile: God I hope we get in (good luck to everyone). Does anyone have siblings or anything that know the date of admission? Most other ED and EA schools come out on the 15 and they said mid-December (15 is literally the middle of December)

Parent here.

My understanding is that the email comes a week before announcements. This seems very unofficial, however. Wish that we could hurry it up. Good luck to all.

@RunningDoc, just for clarification, is it your understanding that an e mail will come out which will announce that decisions will be released in a week’s time? Also a parent, just trying to get a sense of what is coming

If that’s true, I hope the email comes soon. I know in the past few years people have found out around the 10th, but this year the 10th is on a Saturday. I was thinking possibly Monday the 12th but still no email! My daughter applied ED and the wait is killing us both!

Just received an email from Vassar!! The decisions will be announced on Monday, Dec 12!!

Yes, D received the email too! The 12th it is!

Do you guys think that it’s safe to assume that “the close of business” means 5pm?

I think so. 5:00 EST.
