<p>Which university are you doing ED to? We need to know that. </p>

<p>Needs higher SAT scores. Your GPA needs to be higher. </p>

<p>Are you applying for financial aid? Some colleges don’t let you do ED with financial aid. </p>

<p>All in all, international students get the shaft because we’re placed in a more competitive pool.</p>

<p>wow cant believe i forgot lolll, im an international student from Colombia and im applying to BU I already did an interview with one of the admissions officer at BU and it went really well</p>

<p>oh and i dont need financial aid, my grandfather left a fund for me to go to college anywhere i want</p>

<p>^lol sick, i wish my grandfather left me a fund. But yeah i think you have a really good chance at BU. First of all, you are from Colombia so that meant you aren’t competing against those insane applicants from India, Singapore, Korea, and China. And obviously, your SAT isn’t that great. I don’t know how in the world can you get such a low score in Math, especially if you want to do economics. Were you having trouble reading the questions or something?
IMO, colleges don’t put a great weight on an international’s GPA because they don’t really know what a 85% means in your country.</p>
