<p>Are these enough to be considered strong for CC ?
I will pursue the scholarship in CC</p>

2

<p>if your not, I don’t know who is?</p>

3

<p>^sarcastic? </p>

<p>can you explain? I know CC is super duper Ivy Level but definitely not a safety</p>

4

<p>No not sarcastic, your stats are terrific. My son has applied EA for CC and your stats are better then his. I think you should have no problem getting in, I don’t know anything about financial aid so that I can’t comment on but you do have an impressive resume. The nice thing about CC is that they truly are holistic in their approach. If my son gets in it will be because of the whole package he presents. His GPA and SAT’s are good but not stellar, his essays are stellar and his recommendations are great, he interviewed, and has terrific work and volunteer experience so we will see. Good luck to you</p>

5

<p>You have hella sick stats, you’re in.</p>

6

<p>^rejected…</p>

<p>@paul2752‌ I know this post is almost a year old, but may I ask which college you are currently attending? </p>

8

<p>U of Alabama. I got full tuition :-)</p>

<p>Why?</p>

9

<p>@paul2752‌ How did you do with CC? Did you get accepted?</p>

10

<p>I alreasy wrote that i got rejected…</p>

11

<p>@paul2752 I am applying early decision 1 this fall and my academic achievements are no where near as extensive as yours. I am beginning to worry about whether I even have a chance of being accepted if you were rejected. Did you visit the school at all? Interview? Commit early decision? I just don’t understand how you did not get accepted… certainly discouraging for me… any info you have would be awesome. thanks</p>

12

<p>Applying as a foreigner who needs FA drastically affects the chance negatively…
If you have scores at least 610+ in SAT(vast majority of applicants have that score) and decent GPA, some significant awards and nice essays about block plan, I don’t see why it’s not worth applying :-)</p>

<p>Thanks so much for the response. I didn’t realize that you were a foreign student an I’m sure that played into the decision A LOT. Congrats on BAMA! Roll tide </p>
