<p>Are you requesting financial aid?</p>

3

<p>Yes I am… I will only be able to afford about $5000 so I am asking for quite a hefty sum of aid…</p>

<p>Hey Sid,</p>

<p>Good job on the grades! Since you are applying for such an amount of financial aid, I would advise to retake SATs (aim for 2100+ at the very least) and take some subject tests, if possible.</p>

<p>^ Agreed. Are you looking to play tennis for Carleton? That would boost your chances as well. Unfortunately, Carleton is not need-blind for international students, so it’s more competitive for international applicants seeking financial aid.</p>

<p>Great grades, great ECs, and your SAT isn’t bad at all, but it would be great if you could get everything into the 700s. Good luck!</p>
