do you need financial aid?

3

@Center nope, full pay

4

so full pay, international student and asian? If so I think you have a good chance. Will you play lacrosse or soccer in high school --? also, are you applying for 9th?

5

How are your recs and what do you mean by “far worse” hahaha… if these things aren’t bad, I’d say you have a 50-50 chance (that’s very high given the admissions rates). I don’t say 100 because you are an ORM, if that’s even a thing :).

6

I’m also applying for that grade at most of those schools so if you want to send me a pm to help each other that’d be cool.

7

@Center i’m hoping to play lacrosse and soccer yeah, though i doubt i’d be varsity level :slight_smile: no, i’m applying for 10th, since i’d rather not repeat

8

@Center forgot to mention, I’m asian but I have dual citizenship (2 passports), does this affect my status as an ORM??

9

@center1 sure thing, I’m PM you!

@center1 as in, our school’s grading system is skewed in a bad way; it’s really messy, and for an outside school, basically impossible to read :frowning: makes all us students look bad

11

This is just curiosity, but I play lacrosse and I live in America and always thought that America was pretty much the only country that plays it, is lacrosse popular in east asia?

12

@screenname109234 absolutely not- being completely honest, in my entire city there’s like less than 50 people who actually play, it’s pretty sad tbh :frowning: I love it a lot, but i don’t get many chances
