I’m an international applicant so it’ll eat into the night, but I’m restless. Will just hang around a little while
Guys it’s in!!!
Check your portals
Guys, I got deffered…
@jym626 currently a sophomore- i can’t put a percentage on it but i’d say that if you walk into the deece and ask everyone if they either play an instrument, sing, do musical theatre, acappella, or spend/have spent many hours in skinner, you would find very few people who have not. i came here with the intention of maybe auditioning for acappella and now i’m in two student run choirs lol
That is an overgeneralization, @Lamprey, and IMO, gives prospective students the wrong impression. There are many students very involved in music/theater, but there are likely many who are not. There is no requirement to “do music”, which is what I thought your “everyone does music” implied. One of the beauties of Vassar is the opportunity to try different things, but no requirement to do so.
As a follow up, “back in the day”… my time in Skinner was limited to listening to friends play in a concert and watching films. I never brought my instrument to campus, and while I did have friends who sang in the choir or the Vassar Night Owls, or played in the orchestra, most of my friends spent their time in the biology, chemistry and psychology buildings.
Congrats to all who got in . D excepted!!! act 35.0 NMF 4.0 UW 16 AP all 5s so far. Will be enjoying everyone elses musical talents…bit more of and science/atheletic type.
Congrats!! Except she was “accepted”. 
i was deferred as well… i know with some schools getting deferred from ed2 means you have a good chance at rd because getting deferred that late is uncommon, but it seems like more of a common thing with vassar so i’m not too optimistic. i’m just happy i didn’t get outright rejected
