<p>HEY! It's my first thread here.
Can someone comment on my chances for MIT, Cornell, Bates, Lehigh, RPI, WPI, Clarku, Seton Hall and St. John's Uni.
I'm applying for RD and financial aid.</p>

<p>Some of my stats are:
SAT1:
800/M
600/CR
650/WR
SAT2:
800/Physics
800/Math level II
770/Chemistry</p>

<p>Merit Award for China CCTV "Outlook English" Competition
First prize for National English Proficiency Contest for Secondary School Students(NEPCS)
First prize for National Chemistry Contest for Secondary School Students
First prize for National Physics Contest for Secondary School Students
Memeorial Award for The 12th National Chinese Composition Olympiad</p>

<p>Grade 8 from ABRSM in piano
Grade 8 from ABRSM in music theory
moderator and backstage crew for 2005 and 2006 Christmas Concerts in school
leader in the English play team
swimming and badminton are my only sports.</p>

<p>What do you think of my chances of getting in one of the above schools with a full tuition?
That might be a reach, right?</p>

<p>i don't know how ur awards and ec's in english will go with ur CR and wrting score (because it might look like a discrepancy)</p>

<p>and is st.john's uni good?? i have never heard or read good reviews about it (did u actually get a mail from them asking you to apply(i did).if yes don't do so because everyone scoring above 1900 in SAT does receive it. don't get moved. same goes with RPI)</p>

<p>MIT & Cornell - dream or a big reach
RPI & WPI - sureshot (ur sat 2 scores will get you thro)
Lehigh - good try say a 50% chance </p>

<p>i dunno abt other colleges like bates etc.</p>

<p>u won't get a full tuition anywhere except MIT(even here aid depends on ur need). the others are very stingy for intl's (esp RPI)</p>

<p>search for a few more colleges</p>

<p>You have a good shot at Clark and WPI...don't know about the others...btw i don't think RPI gives aid to intels...also you might look into Oberlin since you play the piano</p>

<p>You look for good for Bates. And take a look at Grinnell too.</p>
