Chance an aid-seeking Irish kid for his US dream (1580 SAT)

Many schools will have an appeal form that lists what types of circumstances they will consider. It’s often listed online, so if you wanted you could search for that to get a sense of what they would consider.

Hi! As collegemom points out I’m not from the UK :wink: and depending which Irish person you say that to you may receive some less than cordial reactions… But from what I can tell we usually are assigned the same regional AO with most universities.

I didn’t get my Duke application in before their priority interview date (December 20th?), so I had somewhat resigned myself to not receiving an interview from them. The interviews I have had (in the order I had them) were: Harvard (6/10, probably wrote that I was pleasant and talkative but not much else. Went on for 1h35m though.), Macalester (6/10 too, probably the same as Harvard but only 25 minutes) and Dartmouth (8/10, felt I connected well with both interviewers I had, including a few coincidences we bonded over. Ended up receiving an email directly from one interviewer a few weeks later following up on some work I did and sharing a few news articles they thought I’d find interesting).

Lack of Yale interview worries me slightly as I know they are the only ones that indicate further interest, and I’m certainly not an auto-admit so… Oh well, what can ya do :person_shrugging: we’ll see.

Where else have you applied @ukcollegegirl?
