What are my chances for Vassar College?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi everyone! I'm a senior applying to Vassar College for the regular decision round of admissions. I was wondering if anyone could weigh in on what my chances are of getting accepted. Vassar is definitely a reach school for me, but I'm curious as to how realistic it is.</p>

<p>My weighted GPA is a 4.4; unweighted I'd estimate is around a 3.8. I'm in the top 10% of my class, unsure of rank other than that.</p>

<p>My SAT score is a 2070 and my ACT score is a 32.</p>

<p>Freshman year I took all honors classes; sophomore year I took one AP class, the rest were honors; junior year I took three AP classes, the rest honors; this year I am taking four AP classes and one other class which is an honors level class.</p>

<p>I have been a member of Key Club all four years of high school, a member of HOSA (club for students interested in pursuing health service related jobs) for two years, a member of National Honor Society for two years, and a member of French Honor Society for a little over two years.</p>

<p>I also have a part time job at a grocery store and have a lot of community service hours (100+ my junior year).</p>

<p>As far as awards go, I've received two from my school for excellence in specific classes, one from the College Board (AP Scholar with Honor), the Vassar Book Award (I was chosen for this by my school), and the President's Service Award (100+ community service hours).</p>

<p>Thank you for anyone who has read this! What are my chances of getting into Vassar?</p>

<p>Good luck. Not sure of your chances but I can say my Ds stats are almost identical and she will be applying. What were your subject test scores?</p>

<p>According to VC’s most recent Common Data Set (which you can Google for every school), your ACT falls in the middle of the pack, and your class rank puts you in the top 66%. So that’s all good.</p>

<p>Thanks WasatchWriter for the detail. Vassar is D’s first choice (this week lol) and I thought she was a good “match”. Apparently Vassar values rigor of high school above standard testing, which I hope is true in that D’s subject tests were not on par with the rest of her stats.</p>
