Great choices! Though I am a little curious, why didn’t you apply to Amherst? It’s need-blind for international so that factor is great when applying, but you have great stats and I hope you bring us good news 
What other LACs did everyone apply too? I did Davidson, Cmc, Swarthmore, haverford, bucknell, and was rejected bowdoin ed1
Amherst (accepted early write), Bowdoin, Middlebury, Pomona, Vassar, and Bryn Mawr!
@kimo212 Actually the only reason why I didn’t apply to Amherst is that I forgot. I had it in mind for this very reason. I hope to be admitted somewhere, same to you! I also applied to U Rochester, Villanova, and Emory but I’m not optimistic because I guess they’re not going to be very generous. I also got rejected from college of the holy cross because they said they don’t give financial aid to international students, which they say they do on their website! The whole process has been confusing and I already wasted a lot of time, so i hope it pays off. Otherwise, I will defer enrolling the university here in Egypt to spring semester so that I can apply as a freshman next year in ED1.
@Shabeezy Don’t be pessimistic, you do have good chances in case you’ve got good enough scores and GPA, along with other needed qualifications. I have friends admitted to colleges this year with nearly a full ride with not very high scores. But I agree it’s definitely more difficult for international students asking for financial aid.
Congrats on your acceptance!!
So sorry it’s been this way for you. I am actually heading into college a year late (I was supposed to start last semester at NYU Tandon Engineering) so I really know how you feel. U Rochester and Grinnell are also on my list, I really wish you the best of luck, keep me updated!! Who know maybe we can meet at the same uni 
I applied to Amherst, Colby, Colgate, Grinnell and Hamilton. I have a 32 ACT (33 SS) but I do need a lot of aid so hopefully it works out well.
Amherst gives a lot of aid, probably the best of any college, so I’m sure it would work out if you get in!!
@ricka8 I hope so, congrats on yours that’s honestly amazing! What’s your major?
@Kimo212 Thanks!! I put down Psychology as my first choice and neuroscience as my second.
It’s Wednesday mah dudes
The 22nd lmao
UPDATE: So I just received an email from Carleton titled The Waiting Game which says they will release decisions on the portal on March 22 8:00 PM! They also said this: “We’re precisely impressed because we make you’ve given it your best effort.” Is there any chance this means anything or did you guys also get a similar line?
@Kimo212
Same. This stuff is always default. Don’t look into it.
Well, worth the moment of excitement hahaha
Damn I haven’t gotten that email yet… I hope it doesn’t mean anything ugh
@ricka8 Hopefully you will get it soon!
Wait where are you guys from? The people who got the email. I’m in NJ so maybe it just depends on where you live?
I live in NJ as well, and I received the email a few minutes before 8pm today.
