<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Anyone???</p>

<p>hey. With your stats, I’m pretty sure that most of the unis on your list should have no problem accepting you :smiley: But then again, it all boils down to what course you’re applying to.</p>

<p>“NO financial aid.”</p>

<p>This is very good. It makes things a lot more possible!</p>

<p>Your chances are roughly equivalent to those of a US candidate with your test scores. If you needed financial aid, it would be a completely different situation.</p>

<p>^ I’m very skeptical about this… can it really make that much difference? If so, the US university system seems very discriminative.</p>

<p>Not that I’m complaining; I just don’t really believe in it.</p>

<p>US citizens, legal permanent residents, and certain other immigrant categories (such as refugees) are eligible for federally determined financial aid. “True” international candidates aren’t. That is why it is tougher for international students who need aid.</p>

<p>^ Okay, thanks… can anyone else chance me please?</p>

<p>happymomof1 is absolutely right. Finaid for international students comes from the university itself, and that’s why it’s harder for international students to be accepted when requesting finaid in some institutions.</p>

<p>Great stats, nice matches. I think you’ve gotten a good shot in all of them. Let me know if you’re coming to UMich (:</p>

<p>^ Okay, thanks…</p>

<p>I really want to go to Umich as well!!</p>

<p>Anyone else want to chance me, s’il vous plait?</p>
