<p>isnt vassar are girls? it probably isnt since you have it listed im sure im confusing it with something else. Raise your test scores and youll have a shot at Amherst and Cornell but not likely. Top 25% means your not even in the top 100/500 in your class and since your not a recruited athlete im going to have to say your not going to get into those. Even with 2300 SAT its a huggge reach, this is not to mention your bland ECs which are well below avg for these schools BU you can probably get in as well as case western. vassar is a reach but its possible</p>

<p>Responding to Mcfly, Vassar became co-ed in 1969 so now it’s only 55% female, but yes, it used to be all girls. I should note that BU and Case Western are leaning towards safeties in my opinion. The average weighted GPA for BU from my school is a 3.8 and Case Western is 3.7 whereas I have around a 4.05. If it establishes any sort of bench mark for you, the average for those accepted to Harvard from my school is 4.62 out of 5.0.</p>

<p>No one else really chanced you, did they? Well, realistically, I think this is how it is: </p>

<p>Amherst- Reach, Probably Not (GPA/SAT is low)
Vassar- Low Reach, Possibly in
Cornell- Reach, Not In
Case Western- Match, probably in
BU- Match, probably in</p>

<p>Your UW GPA and class rank is fairly low…
Same with SAT, at least break 2100 to be considered by Amherst or Cornell (well 1400 CR and M for Cornell, they don’t look at writing)</p>
