<p>Solid chances, but that GPA might put you at a disadvantage.</p>

3

<p>And also, Stanford's SCEA, not ED.</p>

4

<p>yea that GPA...crap...but i've still got the first quarter...</p>

5

<p>I would say slight reach, but it would be a match if your GPA was a bit higher (you are a URM...).</p>

6

<p>Being international will hurt your chances if you need fin aid.</p>

7

<p>I would consider Princeton. It is much better in IR, and loves international students that can speak multiple languages. It is about the same in prestige and selectiveness.</p>

8

<p>i'm pretty sure i won't need much fin aid ($10,000 absolute maximum if necessary) because i have a few scholarships so i guess thats ok but idk.</p>

<p>thanks for the feedback!</p>
