<p>ps - I feel so lost in my college search right now, mainly because I had planned on applying to the top-tier schools, then found out I wasn't good enough to get in. Which I understand. Truth be told, I was only trying to get into those schools for the sake of being competitive... I never gave a second thought to whether or not I actually wanted to go there... So I'm currently re-thinking everything, and I need some advice on where to go from here. Maybe some school recommendations? With the exception of CU Boulder and UBC, I'm thinking about the east coast. I would, however, be open to schools in the south. Oh, and I don't actually know anything about Bucknell, other than what they have on their website, and their US News college rankings. Sorry if it was taboo to put that on there, but if anyone could let me know more about it, I'd be very thankful. </p>

<p>Sorry that was rather lengthy. Thanks again!!!</p>

<p>umm nobody ever replied to you? you’re in for the cdn schools, i can’t say anything about us schools tho since i never applied there. </p>

<p>good luck!</p>

<p>well, ur in at Canadian Schools…</p>

<p>Are u applying for financial aid??? If you are- i dont see you getting into any of the U.S. schools u listed…
If ur not, u got a excellent chance at NYU, George Washington and same calibur schools</p>

<p>Iam in same situation as you… I have lower GPA but a 2240 SAT and 800s on 3 SAT II’s, if i applied for aid as an international applicant, i wouldnt even get into NYU…</p>

<p>as an international applicant who isnt AMAZING, applying for aid basically kills ur chances…
If ur not, then u got a chance at all the schools u listed, although JHU and Tufts still low reach</p>
