Paying for College
1

<p>Hi, I am a international student from china and I came to America four years ago (<--excuse for odd SAT scores). below is my vitae.</p>

<p>I am interested in Yale, Princeton, Harvard, MIT, Rice, Stanford, and UF. what is my chance of getting into them?</p>

<p>btw, the reason why I apply to those top /private schools (except for UF) is that they are rich (except for Rice) so they provide a little bit more financial aid for internationals.</p>

<p>I really appreciate your time and effort ^ ^</p>

<p>It's hard to help you because your stats look pretty much like every other Ivy applicant. So it's luck of the draw. No one has a crystal ball.</p>

<p>But i mean, you could definitely get in........</p>

<p>I'm curious as how you take personal fitness through Florida virtual school? Gave me my chuckle for the day!</p>
