Hi guys, I am from Malaysia and i wish to apply to berea college.Before applying i want to know my chances of admission.
I have always maintained stable academic achievement throughout high school with an average cgpa range of 3.7-4.0.I also happen to be an athlete for my school and i have won numerous competitions for my school.I intend to major in chemistry.My family’s financial status is below average with six people depending on my parent’s income.i am also currently taking my ielts test because SAT is only allowed in international schools and rather quite expensive.Berea college’s admission rate is kind of low and it is my top choice.Please explain about my chances and your opinions please.Thank you.
You’ve been through this right? https://www.berea.edu/admissions/international/apply/
Chances are low for anyone NOT from the Appalachian (a region of the US) area that Berea primarily serves.
I don’t know, and can’t find, the admit rate for international students but they do say they have about 30 international students out of an average class of 400 students each year. They have an overall admit rate of 34%, but that includes the Appalachian kids who they do accept in greater numbers than those from anywhere else (including other regions of the US).
App deadline for international kids is 11/30, FYI.
yes they do admit about 30 international students a year and in a typical school year there is about 120 international students @OHMomof2.I have prepared all my documents and just waiting to take my ielts test.Do you think i stand a good chance? I think i have also wrote and interesting essay.Are you from berea college?
I am not from Berea but my S’12 applied there and we visited twice. It’s very hard to predict chances at a school like Berea that has such subjective criteria and takes so few students, but good luck to you!
@OHMomof2 thank you very much!
I may be a bit too late but I am pretty sure SAT/ACT is compulsory for international students. I have applied for fall 2016 too, and the website states that it is compulsory.
