Hey there!
For those of you who know me from College Confidential, I'm littleathiest and am here to give you the perspective of one student on anything and everything Vassar-related. Basically, my purpose is two-fold:
1. Talk about my own experiences at Vassar. In doing so, I'd like to give you a sense of what the life of a student at the school is actually like: classes, social stuff, extracurriculars, and anything else that pops into my head.
2. Answer any and all questions you have about the school. This could be as general as "Can you tell me a little bit about the city of Poughkeepsie?" to as specific as "Can you tell me anything about Professor Merrell in the History Department?" I might not be able to always give you a full answer, but I will certainly try. If you have a question about the school or the admissions process in general, feel free to post it in the "comment" section of any post I make. It doesn't have to pertain in the least to the post itself.
Now that that's been said, let me introduce myself a bit for those who might not know me. I'm a female sophomore at Vassar College from a small, private high school in the Connecticut-New York area and am considering a potential major in history. I have a wide variety of academic interests, and as such have taken classes in a bunch of different departments so far: history, psychology, biology, mathematics, medieval-renaissance studies, Russian studies, classical studies, physical education, and political science.
That's about it for now. Let the games begin!

hello littleathiest , i am a graduating raffles junior college (same as any high school in the us i suppose) student studying in singapore and i am applying to vassar through ed soon. i am from china and came to singapore 4 years ago on a scholarship , though primary instruction in class is english , my cr is a bit too low (550....) and have a composite of 1900+ overall and sat2 800 on math physics and chemistry. i am taking the act this oct partly because i did not have time for the second taking of sat previously. i've self studied 4 aps and got 5 on them , got olympiads in all sciences ,extracurricular is band and jazz along with some others like math soc and science soc etc. i like vassar quite a lot , so i choose it though i want to major in math and know that math there is not that strong ...
but one problem is that i am asking for quite a lot of fa since my family could not afford the 50000 dollars a year. can you kindly offer me some tips and is it possible for ppl like me to get in ? thanks a lot
