<p>Don’t give up. You have time to send out more applications and your stats will get you into many US Universities/Colleges. Good luck to you.</p>
<p>Thanks.
Well, since I’m pretty de facto accepted to ANY school in my country, I’ve decided to apply to less schools than I had planned to.</p>
<p>Final list (from the most favorite):</p>
<p>Swarthmore C
Williams C
Grinnell C
Bates C
Trinity C
Washington and Lee U
U of Richmond
St. Lawrence (maybe)</p>
<p>Those top 2 are looong reaches, but I was told to put some “dream schools” on the list…</p>
<p>Do you think I’ll have a chance on some of those if I can’t pay more then 12 - 15 k (depends on the exchange rate and on how well my parents’ business will be going)?</p>
<p>Perhaps you could post a new thread in the College Admissions section or the Parent’s section of CC regarding any questions you have about the International admissions process. I did check the Grinnell website and noticed that the Financial Aid form for Internationals is supposed to be postmarked by Jan. 2nd (today). The link is below.</p>

<p>Thanks for looking it up, but I already knew. I mailed it on December 30th (along with Bates FA application…) I hope I didnt make any mistake…</p>
<p>You’re smart. 
I’m sure you didn’t make any mistakes. Good luck.</p>
<p>cermi, Bates was probably my second choice for school behind UR. Just a bit too small and too cold for me.</p>
<p>I put it ahead because (as you can see from the list of my schools) I like smaller schools, and moreover, New England is my favorite part of the USA, probably because it is quite similar to Europe.</p>
<p>I don’t think you can go wrong with any of those schools.</p>
<p>I’d love to go there, but since I have many “safetie” at home, I’m not so nervous as most other students.</p>
