<p>Hey guys!....
I studied in an international school in the foorhills of Indian Himalayas and one of South Asia's best school.
I am from Nepal (hope u knw where that is)
I have a GPA of 3.20
My SAT scores were 1810
6 Aps with 3,4,5
I have become school president, community service representative, dormitory president
I have gone on a 6 month exchange trip to Australia
I have been in the soccer, track and field and cross country team
I do Model United nations ( including chair and foreign conferences)
I have served for 2 weeks in a village development programe by an NGO in Nepal.
I have had a month of internship in a magazine
the big question (coz of my gpa and sat scores) is will i get into syracuse university or NYU with financial aid???</p>
<p>i’d say you have a good shot at getting into syracuse, but no chance at all at NYU. syracuse is much more lenient about grades and SAT scores. if you visit syracuse, interview, and write strong essays, you have a good shot at getting in. that said, i have no idea whether you will receive aid from either of these schools if you’re accepted; it’s really hard to speculate for a domestic applicant, much less an international one because of the great amount of factors in determining financial aid.</p>
<p>one thing to remember about syracuse is the value they put on you being a creative leader who can affect what is going on around you. the university calls this “Scholarship in Action.” Be prepared to talk about how you embody the spirit of Scholarship in Action during your interviews and again in your application.</p>

<p>good luck! :)</p>
<p>NYU is notoriously awful with financial aid and I imagine they’re even worse with international students. Do not get your hopes up for NYU.</p>
<p>I think you have good chances at SU also. Best of luck!</p>
<p>thanks guys…so NYU is a bust huh…but are there any good top colleges in US where i can get in wid aid??</p>
