PLEASE CHANCE ME. !!! IT WOULD BE OF GREAT HELP TO ME

Looks like you are international. Biggest factor will be if you need financial aid or not.

3

I would be requiring a bit of financial aid. However, i’m well aware that these universities don’t give need based aid to international students. So i’m hoping for some merit scholarships

4

Most of the merit based programs are designed for US students. However there may be a few that will allow internationals. Your SAT scores are not really that high. I would suggest to either re-take, or to focus on schools where your SAT scores is greater than the 75th percentile.

5

it is not possible for me to retake the SAT as i got these scores on my second try. Yes, merit scholarships are a few but i think it’s worth a shot trying. Also i would like people to chance me regardless of whether I’m looking for scholarships or not based on my credentials. thank you for your input though.

Your credentials are good. I have no idea how your grades transfer to US grades, but they look good. However, if you need financial aid, it is going to be hard to go, if you do get in.

8

It is not that i need need financial aid. But if(the minutest of possibilities) if i get some form of merit aid it is always better. If not, it is not going to be a huge burden. Hoping for the best :slight_smile:
