<p>ok, this is my first time posting chances thread.
i'm international student (korean) seeking lots of aid, and I have no idea how hard it is at Mac (i know they have generous international aid) to get in with $.</p>

<p>SAT (old): 750V 780
SAT II: 800MathIIC 790Kor 790USHis 780Phys 770Bio 750Writ 730MathIC
big extracurriculars: piano (sent in CD), tennis (Varsity 4 years), ASB (student gov- 2 years), big brother, hospital volunteer. </p>

<p>i'd appreciate any comment, but it'd be especially helpful if anyone who is, or knows, an international student with fin aid could respond. thanks.</p>

<p>Well, I'm not sure about international admits, but if you were domestic I'd say that you are a shoe-in.</p>

<p>i agree . (10 characters)</p>

<p>o.. thanks for the answer.
mac's one of my top choices, but i've heard that its int'l admit rate (for those applying for finaid) is around 10% or so...
does anyone know when they contact us for the interview?</p>

<p>i never got contacted about an interview.</p>

<p>You generally have to call and schedule an interview (at least for domestic students).</p>

7

<p>You have to call and schedule an interview; it isn't required for Mac, just encouraged.</p>

<p>They don't do phone interviews, though...I'm in Argentina and I checked. You might want to ask anyway, just to see whether there's a rep in your area by some random chance. You never know. </p>

<p>Your chances look amazing to me, although I have no idea what the deal is for internationals. Good luck!</p>
