<p>Hello, after looking at a substantial amount of colleges, I've concluded that I would like to attend Vassar. I feel Vassar is a great liberal college with great people and teachers. </p>
<p>I am a Junior at a moderate sized, but highly competitive high school. Now, I am wondering if I would have a chance to be able to attend Vassar. I am a male ( with a 1/4 Hispanic background) and I live near Vassar, 25 minutes away. I am also applying early decision. </p>
<p>In School:
- I have an 3.7 average, that is going to go up
- I am part of my school's National Honor Society, which is more competitive than most schools I know.
- I am active in the school, participating in Expanding Horizons ( going to seminars and meeting students from other schools), participated in quiz bowls and other in school activities.
- I've never been a sports player, but did participate in Nordic skiing freshman year.
- I am in Project Lead The Way: a series of college engineering classes, through RIT.
- I am taking all the AP classes my school offers.
- I am in the top 10% of my class.
- I am liked by most, if not all of my teachers.
- Did well on the PSAT.</p>
<p>Out of School:
- Teach kindergarten at a local day care center.
- Racked up 100 + community service hours.
- Participated in the Naval Sea Cadets Corps.
- Pretty well rounded and independent.</p>
<p>Negatives:
- My grades are phenomenal for most standards, but possibly not for Vassar standards.
- I'm not poor, but I am surly not well off, so the tuition might be a problem.</p>
<p>Questions:
1. What are my chances at getting in?
2. What is the financial aid like at Vassar?
3. How are the girls and hook-ups? I like nice, clean, beautiful, and smart girls.
4. How are parties? are there a lot of drugs?
5. Are there really a lot of hipsters? I like hipsters and all others, but I also like a balance of different people.( I've heard that Vassar is very diverse)
6. I aspire to be a doctor one day, I chose Vassar because, before medical school, I would enjoy a liberal balance in my studies in a suburban college setting, so How are the science classes and teachers, specifically biology, chemistry... etc?
7. If you wen't, or is still enrolled at Vassar, what were your grades during high school.
8. Will I feel at home?
9. Can you tell me about your everyday life at Vassar?</p>
<p>I know this is a lot to take in, but can you please answer all my questions. I will thank you heavenly folks in advance!!! Thank you and please answer with honestly.</p>
