<p>In RPI Wake lyocming grinnell colgate. and prob chicago and northeastern. Mit is a reach. Cornell and connecticut are up in the air
best of luck!</p>
<p>Your SAT scores need some work, bt your GPA is not bad. I think you have a chance with all but Dartmouth and especially MIT. Since you’re retaking the SAT this december, thats good, and if they are greatly improved scores you might have a chance a UChicago (especially if you have an OUTSTANDING application essay and great teacher recs) Good luck!</p>
<p>Your int. status helps at some of these schools which are looking for diversity, GPA is good, SAT’s are solid for most of your schools, and your fantastic art certainly will help; other EC’s are a little weak though. Essays/recs play a big factor. Here are my chances:</p>
<p>University of Chicago: Reasonable-BIG Reach (essays count BIG here)
Connecticut College: Match
Cornell: Low-Reasonable Reach
Bennington College: In
Colby College: Reasonable Reach
Colgate: Low Reach
Colorado College: Low-Reasonable Reach
Dartmouth College: BIG Reach (OK to have one)
Grinnell College: Match-Reach
Luther College: In
Lycoming College: In
MIT: BIG Reach (Suggest dropping this one)
Northeastern University: In
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute: In
The George Washington University: In
Wake Forest: Match</p>
<p>Hope this helps!! Plz Chance Back!! (2.0 thread)</p>
<p>Several of these schools do not have an architecture major. Chicago does not. Most small liberal arts colleges don’t, though there may be a “pre-architecture” track (or some such) for students who plan to go on for a Masters of Architecture degree. Cornell has one of the country’s top schools of architecture; very selective; requires a portfolio if the application is going there not to the college of arts & sciences.</p>

<p>sorry i only know about half haha the result of only looking at colleges in my area i guess
your resume is grrreat it seems like youve done all you can do</p>
<p>University of Chicago-reach
Cornell-high match

<p>A cautious person would consider Dartmouth and MIT (with admit rates well below 20%) “reach” schools for almost all applicants. A conservative rule of thumb for some of the other schools is that they are reaches for someone who is not into the 75th percentile for scores and rank, especially without exceptional ECs. The standard for exceptional ECs varies from school to school. At Ivies, it can mean accomplishments as unusual as Broadway acting experience or winning a national science prize. At other, slightly less selective schools, it typically would mean significant school and community leadership roles, at least (or metropolitan/provincial distinctions in sports, music, chess etc.) Chicago seems to put extra weight on the essays.</p>
<p>So I’d consider these schools reaches for the OP: MIT, Dartmouth, … Chicago, Cornell, … Colgate, Colorado College, Grinnell, Colby. But the higher math scores may compensate for lower CR for an international student applying to some of these schools. </p>
<p>Section H6 of each school’s Common Data Set indicates whether the school awards aid to nonresident aliens. Grinnell for example awards both need-based and merit aid to nonresident aliens. It awarded aid packages averaging $28,135 to 156 nonresident aliens in a recent academic year. Colorado College awarded packages averaging $41,885 (almost the full cost of attendance) to 42 nonresident aliens. Colorado College is a wonderful school but could be criticized for lacking diversity. Based on that aid average, it appears to be eager for international students.</p>
