Can somebody who knows more about this college tell me how good is its astrophysics program ?
Also , if anybody got in with full financial aid , could you tell me your stats or at least tell me if I have a chance for full ride there ? (or close to full ride)
my stats on short :
General + exams
White Male (from Romania) , income <22k / year
Intended Major : Astrophysics
GPA ; High school doesn’t have , but I got 9.5/10 as average for 9th,10th and 11th years .
School doesn’t rank , but I’m in the first 5 or 6 from 59 (it is a small but selective high school)
SAT : 1450 (will retake it in december) with 800 on math and 650 on ebrw , and 6/6/6 at essay
SAT II’s : Math II (800) , Physics (800)
No ap’s or honor classes since we do not have such things , but did 2 years of Calculus and physics at level similiar to that of AP pysics 1 and 2
Toefl ibt : 105 /120
My class is very competitive . I have class mates who participate at national olympics at physics , mathematics , literature , and religion .
EC’s :
Not too much volunteering . I have just helped at the construction of a church , a park , and helped at an eldery asylum .
I did swimming for about 2 years , not for competitions .
Participated in two internships in Netherlands .
National olympic at gegraphy for 3 years in a row (hoping for the fourth) . This year I got on the second place . In 2016 and 2017 I have qualifid for the eliminatory phases for the international geography olympiad .
This year I have been admitted in an excellente group for mathematics where I do undergrad level mathematics (diff. equations , multivariable calculus , advanced linear algebra , group and sets theory etc…).
I was in the curch’s orchestra (mandolin) for about 2 years , then renounced because I needed more time for learning.
I have already posted something very similar but now I am interested to know more just about colby .
Also , if my SAT is too low , would a 1500 (700 ebrw and 800 math) be enough ?
