<p>I am also thinking of applying on Round II. I messed up my SAT on Oct…so waiting for the Dec SAT. I guess it’s easier applying through common app!</p>

162

<p>@JacobsWannaBe Congratulations for your SAT score! Those scores can definitely take you wherever you want!! Where are you applying btw?</p>

163

<p>does Bucknell University give ample amount of financial aid? Is there anyone who went there? Confused!</p>

164

<p>@scourge566 Thank you brother… I have ED-ed to Colby and also will apply to a bunch of other LACs… and one university- Yale… </p>

<p>Yeah my academics are good (All As ) and SAT is okay too… However, I am not sure if I will be evaluated as a Nepalese or an Indian …since I have lived whole my life in Delhi, India. However, I am a Nepalese citizen… My High-schooling was in India too… </p>

<p>By the way, good luck to all the fellow applicants around…</p>

165

<p>@JacobsWannaBe When are Colby’s ED results out btw? Best of luck for Yale bro!! Of course you are Nepalese then, you’ll have a double advantage…Americans love Indian brains and adore Nepalese demeanor. You have both the positive points! </p>

<p>@macmurderharder If you are applying to Bucknell University then you NEED to know these;

  1. There are 144 international students in Bucknell U *undergraduate students
  2. 24 of these international students get financial aid *need based</p>

<p>I heard someone went to Bucknell from Nepal few years ago.</p>

166

<p>@sixstringsrocker Yeah bro, extremely busy.</p>

167

<p>@scourge566 Colby’s decision is coming out on 14th December’s Morning… I hope I get accepted here … that way I wouldn’t have to apply to Yale… anyway… </p>

<p>However, I would like to go to a liberal arts college more than a reputed university…</p>

168

<p>@JacobsWannabe I think you having either nationality wouldn’t matter in your acceptances… is that not it ?</p>

<p>Also, can you cross register at Yale from Colby?.. or am I completely wrong?</p>

169

<p>@^ …as far as I understand, nationality does matter in most cases, unless one is super duper intelligent or a genius or accomplished in some other way…</p>

<p>I haven’t heard yet about any cross registration from Colby to Yale… yet I wouldn’t be surprised if there is one…</p>

170

<p>just fyi,</p>

<p>unless the campuses are very close, cross registration isn’t as easy as it sounds. Commuting time that you could be doing work/studying, scheduling issues, etc. </p>

<p>I’ve been told, in the past 10 years or so, there has been less than 5 cross registrations between the 6 colleges in the Lehigh Valley (Lafayette, Lehigh, DeSales, Moravian, Muhlenberg, and Ceder Crest).</p>

<p>And nationality does count to an extent. the schools want as diverse class as possible. No point in having 7% international students with 75% being from the same region of the world.</p>

<p>Bucknell - RBS (1)</p>

<p>@Vivaciouskrish Congrats to that guy/gal…</p>

<p>As some of you brace for your ED application decision, and the others write your essays. this is probably a good article to begin writing.

177

<p>what I worry about is the dialogue “You shall not Pass!”
as my username suggests and I hate this irony!</p>

179

<p>^
Ha! Tell me about it!</p>

<p>APU = Azusa Pacific? Do they offer full fin. aid? What about the other two?</p>

<p>It’s amazing that all 5 acceptances are from the same school! </p>

<p>I’m so freaking out. I think I could just get rejected everywhere. I scored only 2000 on the SATs. I thought I could get at least 2100. Worst is that my grades are merely average. :&lt;/p>

<p>Asia Pacific University!
They already received merit based and still are expected to get need based! All in all I think they are in a better place.</p>
