The Miscellany News: Vassar Class of ’25 Most Competitive Year Yet for Applicants

College admissions in 2020 looked very different from previous years, says Lucille Brewster in this piece published by Vassar College’s student newspaper, The Miscellany News.

“We know many students didn’t have access to the same opportunities that they have had in the past, many had to care for others or had their own challenges, and many schools temporarily changed their grading policies,” said Vassar’s Dean of Admissions and Financial Services Sonya Smith.

Smith was one of 370 admissions officials to sign our Care Counts in Crisis: College Admissions Deans Respond to COVID-19 statement.
