<p>Hi beago, I just checked back to the acceptance thread from last year and international applicants who were accepted heard back March 27th last year. Coincidentally that was the same day that I got my letter back from Vassar (I live about 1:20 away from Vassar), so it seems as if the school makes an effort to ensure that international and domestic students both start hearing back on a similar time frame.</p>
<p>It also looked like international students who were rejected heard back from Vassar at a later date that those who were accepted, but that pattern wasn't the same for domestic students.</p>
<p>Thank you, littleathiest. Maybe I should wait and hope that the result will come soon.
I don't think that Vassar will notify anything to the applicants via email. As far as I know, they will send mail and you can also check the status.
Is it right?</p>
<p>Also int and waiting!
got an e mail today saying that my fin-aid app was incomplete! but I faxed the missing documents right away... so everything is ok again...
I still don't understand if we are getting an email or if we have to check the status in the web page?
Do you think they will mail packages earlier so that we don't receive them 2 weeks later!? I hope they do!</p>
<p>I hope the decision comes fast... :(
It is such a heartbreak to read the first line which goes .... "regret"
:-(
I was waitlisted at Wellesley, rejected at Uni of Chicago (!!! <em>sob</em>) and accepted by early notification at Grinnell. And since Grinnell and Vassar are ranked at the same position, me's hoping that I get accepted... !!</p>
<p>Gah, I wish I had applied to U of Chicago. Ah well, at least I won't be freezing my butt off for four years.</p>
<p>I got into my second choice (Bryn Mawr) and Vassar is the only one that could possibly trump that, I think, unless I get some serious merit aid somewhere else or Vassar's fin aid goes badly.</p>
<p>haha thricedotted, i was gonna make a comment about the weather....there's probably still some snow piles at vassar now, I live really near poughkeepsie and it snowed the other night here...it's still pretty cold here, though it's getting a little better...</p>
<p>Yeah, NY can get pretty cold, but it's the wind I really hate. Really really really hate wind. (Hence why I did not apply to school in the windy city). I'm in central PA- I have a couple friends in upstate NY so I've been up there in winter before... I'm definitely bringing my long underwear if I end up there.</p>
<p>EDIT: HELP ME. I'm stuck in a library next to an old creeper who is trying to pick up "desperate women"- or so he says to his friend. And they're looking at... inappropriate things. Not something anyone should be doing in a public library. </p>
<p>Erm. Sorry about the off-topic but I had the urge to rant.</p>
<p>To the people on the page before, I got rejected at UChicago too. A lot of people did. And that is making me kind of scared of Vassar's decision, because I'm an international asking for Aid, and that's pretty competitive in both.</p>
<p>Not true. Poughkeepsie is much more mild than Chicago. The climate near the coasts are much more moderate than the interior. I got my undergraduate degree from Vassar and have lived since in Chicago, no contest, Chicago is worse.</p>
<p>Don't worry so much, guys! I got rejected at UChicago, but got into Vassar. Don't worry, college decisions are total crapshoots. you can never tell whether you will get into a college based on another college's decision. I know a girl who got outright REJECTED early action from Yale and got into Harvard regular decision. And I got into Duke regular decision but got rejected from Chicago, which has a much higher acceptance rate. So don't stress so much. All of you will end up where you were meant to go :) And fyi, I got my Vassar envelope on March 28. It was pretty sweet.</p>
