<p>Son just got accepted to Roger Williams and $11k/yr</p>
<p>Just got into DelState with an 11k scholarship</p>
<p>Congrats ConfusedMominMA! (and son) - Gotta love acceptances offering $$!! Watching for the mail truck and hoping Santa drops off a similar offer before we need to leave for our Christmas Eve festivities!</p>
<p>Would it be reasonable for me to apply to engineering programs with a 1700 SAT and 3.6 GPA?</p>
<p>amroy67 - Yes, great Christmas present! hope you get some good news too.</p>
<p>lilmelonred - Sure, depending on where you are applying. My son is looking at Mech Eng. and has a 3.37 GPA and had a 1780 SAT when he applied to some places EA. He took the SATs a 3rd time on Dec 1st, just got his scores and he went up 200 points so that will help with the places he applied RD. </p>
<p>His safeties are not as appealing with those higher scores. Some of his matches have now become safeties. And he decided to apply to a couple of schools that he didn’t think he had a chance at before. Has gotten 2 acceptances so far, 8 more to go.</p>
<p>im applying to NY schools. RIT, SUNY stony, buffalo, city college, Clarkson, manhattan college, CUNYs. etc. But my CR is very low… like 470 but math is 670.</p>
<p>lilmelonred - When we interviewed at RIT and my son’s SAT was 1780, the AR was basically steering him towards Mech Eng Tech instead of Mech Eng. RIT is very good with publishing SAT 25-75% scores for their majors. The 25% score for engineering is 1790.</p>
<p>My son has already gotten into UMass Lowell and Roger Williams. We are waiting to hear from RIT, UConn, UMass Amherst, UNH, URI and Western New England. With his higher scores he has also decided to try for RPI and WPI just to see.</p>
<p>I don’t know about those particular schools but I’m sure you could probably get into some engineering programs with those SATs. Just have to do more research on the schools SAT scores.</p>
<p>Update! Accepted to UMass Dartmouth!</p>
<p>1Rachel - congratulations!</p>
<p>Hi, there, I’m an international student from Bulgaria, founder of a non-governmental organization, organizator of international events and youth exchange programs, national youth delegate at many global forums and summits, etc.
I studied in a classical school (learned Latin, Ancient Greek, etc.) with rigorous curriculum, but got lower SAT scores than intended: 1940 SAT, 740 Lit Subject test, 650 Math 1, 640 WH , TOEFL 112
Honestly, I aimed for Harvard as my top school and as I really wanted to have the highest aim possible and see what happens… I applied ED and was refused admissions…
Now, I am applying to other schools… Princeton, Duke, Yale and Yale Nus as these are the ones that I intended to apply at first when i thought that i could do better on the exams…
I expect you to tell me that I should get real and thats what I have told myself as well, so I’m looking at some lower acceptance schools…
I’ve been thinking about those, but still dont know if I have any chance for admission.
Financial aid is a crucial factor in my decision whether to go to college in the States ultimately as well:
-Bryn Mawr college !
-Mount Holyoke
-Gettysburg
-Union College
-Skidmore
-Colby
-Occidental
-Carleton
-Adelphi Uni</p>
<p>These are some places I like… but I am still too confused and unable to actually have a realistic approach towards admissions, so I’d really appreciate any advice or opinion!
Thank you!</p>
<p>@ confusedmominMA: Thanks! Yeah I did do research on SAT scores. I fall lower than the 25% for all of the schools except city college(CUNY). That is my safety school so i’m glad that I think i’m 95% sure im going to get accepted there. The other ones, my Writing and Math scores fall either on 75% or alittle above it.</p>
<p>I’m applying to 17 Colleges but so far 2/2 of the decisions are rejections so I’m really worried of being rejected everywhere. Rejected from:-
CMU(SCS was a long shot anyways)
Purdue(***? appealing for sure)</p>
<p>Stats:-
2100 SAT(700CR.760M)
740 MATH-2
780 PHY
87% (India Class 11 CBSE)
Top 5 percentile of class.
Good ECs
Great Recs
Average Essays</p>
<p>a 2100 IS WELL ABOVE AVERAGE, also a 1940 is too, something like 90th percentile.</p>
<p>yes I agree with @saminator910 a 2100 is not average. And neither is being in the top 5% of your class. @Prad123 did you read the title of this forum?</p>
<p>URM(African) and I have so far received acceptence to the University of Pittsburgh and Penn State University. Still waiting on Ohio State, Syracuse and Maryland. My stats are a 3.1UW GPA and a 26 and 1680 on the SAT.</p>
<p>I wanted to go to Howard so bad. You’re lucky :)</p>

<p>Son is international applicant.
IB Predicted Score 41/45
SAT: 1730 (2 attempts: super score- 1780)
Strong ECs; good essays. </p>
<p>Applied to 14 universities, most of them public and in the Midwest. Interest in biological/biomedical sciences. </p>
<p>Admissions so far:</p>
<p>Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (In state tuition offer on account of his SAT scores). I did my Ph.D. in biological sciences at this university, so I know that the program is good despite the poor overall reputation. The university does not allow stacking of their legacy tuition rate, but the saving would still be about $ 11,000/year.</p>
<p>University of Cincinnati: $ 5000/year Global Scholarship award. </p>
<p>University of Nebraska at Lincoln: They consider for scholarships only after admissions are granted. So, we are waiting for the decisions. </p>
<p>Awaiting decisions from:
University of South Florida
Iowa State
Oklahoma State
Oregon State
Washington State
Texas A&M
St. Louis University
University of Dayton
Drake
Trinity College
Boston University </p>
<p>Will update when more decisions are made.</p>
<p>@Dracolis I’m in IB :)</p>
<p>Wait… There are other normal students on this site?! You have no idea how many times I cried to my counselor that I wasn’t getting into college because I was an idiot aha</p>
<p>GPA: 3.99 W (don’t do UW)
SAT: 1890 (superscore)</p>
<p>Accepted: Fordham, Fairfield, Loyola Marymount, Western New England
Deffered: Northeastern
Waiting: Chapman, BU, USC, Bryant</p>
<p>@jrcsmom those sat averages just made my day! I honestly didn’t sleep the night before scores came out, and then the morning they did I would cry for 3 hours at my scores because this site considered my scores bad. </p>
<p>I ended up with
CR: 670
W: 650 (essay 9)
M: 570</p>
<p>After the third time I took them… And I still thought they were horrendous scores until you posted the college board averages… So thank you. This site has probably been the worst thing I ever signed up for. I became obsessed with the numbers and lost all confidence.</p>
