<p>Which EC is your passion? That’s a really diverse list. Whittle it down.</p>

<p>Aside from the English thing and Victoria scholarship (?), all of those awards mean “high GPA.” Thus, don’t include them.</p>

<p>Never heard of a 10 pt GPA scale.</p>

<p>What you listed (and the ranks you gave) seem accurate.</p>

3

<p>Basically, my ECs are sports and music, especially soccer.</p>

<p>Any more suggestions ?</p>

4

<p>any more suggestion ??</p>

5

<p>Yale, Penn, and Dartmouth are unlikely. You’re in the running for the rest.</p>

6

<p>SO can you suggest me some more schools ?</p>

<p>How is economics and sociology at Pomona by the way ?</p>

<p>What should I do to raise my chance up at Yale, Penn and Dartmouth ?</p>

7

<p>To improve your chances for Yale, Penn, and Dartmouth, improve your SAT score to 2200+. Winnow down your extracurricular activities, so you can convey passion. Write genuine essays, choose your teacher recommendations carefully, and leave the rest to the ad coms. </p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>SO can you suggest me some more schools ?</p>

<p>How is economics and sociology at Pomona by the way ?</p>

9

<p>can you guys give me some more suggestions on what schools should I look into ?</p>

10

<p>Thanks</p>

11

<p>Also, what do you guys think are my chance at other schools on my list ??</p>

12

<p>University of Rochester</p>

13

<p>Interestingly, I am studying in Rochester now. I probably don’t want to stick around for college though I know the school is really good. In addition, they don’t give that much Financial aid to international students.</p>

<p>What are my chances at Liberal Art schools like Bowdoin, Pomona, Vassar, Lafayette, Hamilton, F&M, St. Lawrence, and Brandeis ?? </p>

<p>Any more suggestions on what other schools I should take a look at ??</p>

14

<p>Not many schools give good financial aid to internationals. [Schools</a> Awarding International Financial Aid](<a href=“http://www.internationalstudent.com/schools_awarding_aid/]Schools”>Schools Awarding International Financial Aid) is a good website to get more information on this. Vassar looks good for FA to internationals.</p>

15

<p>I think your chances start below the dream school. I woud add, as realistic reaches, Colgate, Colby and Claremont McKenna. As high matches Bates, Trinity, NYU. If you’re female, the sister colleges would also be good bets.</p>

16

<p>good chances at all, please chance me!</p>

17

<p>Thanks. I am a guys so yeah, I cannot consider the sister schools.</p>

<p>Among those small, top liberal arts, which one I have a good shot at ?</p>

<p>I like those 3 Ivies League and want to shoot for that too. Then, what should I do to improve my chance ?</p>

<p>Among Claremont colleges, which one has the best economics and sociology departments ?</p>
