<p>Well, I see you have good chances at Connecticut College ED…your EC’s are quite good…being an IB diploma student helps…</p>

<p>What is your expected financial contribution from your family towards your education? That determines a lot since you’re an international.</p>

3

<p>family contribution is app 45% for conncoll</p>

4

<p>Your IB grades are really good and I think that US school really like IB candidates. It probably also helps your chances that you are international.</p>

<p>I also did EF Paris summer 08 and loved it. It was the most amazing time.</p>

5

<p>Does 45% mean approximately $23000???</p>

6

<p>yes it means around 25000 for education plus allowance and transport.
oh really? that’s great! i really improved my french there and people were good as well. does such thing help in admission process? </p>

<p>anyone else pretty please? do i have good chances at ED?</p>

7

<p>Not an expert, but I think those stats are good enough for a shot even at the ivies :slight_smile: Should be enough for LACs.</p>

8

<p>although im looking for FA?
not interested in vies coz i believe it’s easier to get good recommendations and academics at small lacs for afterwards to apply to law schools.</p>

9

<p>bump bump
anyone else? pretty please?</p>

10

<p>you have good stats and should get into a good percentage of those schools. i see no problem getting into conn college. if your intersted in international business, try brandeis. they are starting a business program in the fall of 2010 and have one of (probably the best) international business masters program in the US.</p>

11

<p>thank you 2010, i really hope i’ll get into conncoll coz it’s my dream college.
but you think my chances are that good since im lookin for FA?</p>

12

<p>Hmmm sorry I really don’t know IB’s that well but your stats seem pretty good… you should get into most of these schools.</p>

13

<p>If you’re not sending stats:
Connecticut College ED - low reach (ED helps a ton)
Bates - reach
Bennington - low match
Bowdoin - serious reach
Hamilton - ?
Mount Holyoke - match
Union - ?
St Lawrence University - ?</p>

14

<p>thank you guys, especially to MissPickwickian coz i got too confident.</p>

15

<p>I have to agree, you have a good shot at Mt. Holyoke. The others:
Connecticut College ED - if you do ed, you have an ok shot.
Bates - This will be a reach.
Bennington - Less of a reach than bates.
Bowdoin - This is the most “reach” you’ve putdown (I.E the hardest for you to get in to)
Hamilton -
Union -
St Lawrence University
^I don’t know much about those.</p>

16

<p>I personally think it’s an in for Bennington!</p>

17

<p>Okay I updated my college list so chance me for those:</p>

<p>Connecticut College ED
Bates
Hamilton
Mount Holyoke
St Lawrence University
Brandeis Uni</p>

18

<p>you have a pretty good chance at all of the above the only thing that is against you is FA(in my opinion im not sure) but still pretty competetive</p>

19

<p>yea US schools love IB…i think Conn. College you have more than a decent shot esp. considering your long list of ECs and high class rank.</p>

20

<p>i think you’ll definately get into conn college ED ! so i dont think il chance you for the rest ;] </p>

<p>i honestly think you’ll get in ed so dont worry about the rest. best of luck!</p>
