<p>@Calcruzer: Getting into Penn and Cornell with FA is extremely near-impossible in Singapore. That’s because all those schools -know- the prevalence of government-awarded scholarships. Almost 100 Singapore students are admitted to Cornell and UMAA each year, and I bet near all of them are not given FA. Cornell, especially, is known for its stinginess overall and it doesn’t help how there are so many fully-funded scholarship recipients. Singaporeans are extremely ORM at Cornell.</p>
<p>@OP: Are you at an international school? I’m confused - your class is 246, that’s atypical for JCs. Is your nationality Singaporean?</p>
<p>Reject from all UCs with Financial Aid. Your stats aren’t impressive; there’s tons of other international students with better stats AND fully-funded.</p>
