@Claretopia haha,thanks…i received rejections from all my safeties saying that i asked for too much aid and if my financial circumstances change i should notify them, bla bla…but yesterday i was rejected from bowdoin and grinnell, still waiting to hear from 11 more schools…You?
I’m from Nigeria @badlands
I’m from India. SAT 2150. School doesn’t do GPA but my transcript has As and Bs. Lots of ECs and sports. Some volunteer work as well. Asking for substantial aid.
@badlands surprised that you have been rejected so far. You have amazing stats and good test scores
@Claretopia Yeah i’m waiting on Middlebury, Hamilton, Skidmore and a few others as well. What about you?
did anyone here submit the (so called optional) video interview to ConnColl?
^ i did just to fulfill all righteuosness, but i think i screwed it up a little(i didn’t really feel it, it was just mehh to me)…You?
I did submit it (it was really awful but who cares, at least I demonstrated my interest, right? :p) In the past years, people who didn’t submit it rarely got in, so I think we have a edge over those who didn’t submit. Just my opinion though!
^ Yh i think they use it as one of the ways to know the internationals who are interested…Honestly i don’t think they watch it, and i really hope they don’t 
Less than two hours left! I’m going to take a break and maybe watch some Anime :))
I think even if they watch, they don’t really evaluate it. They just want to see whether internationals are actually interested or did they just send their application to a random college with no supplement!
I am the parent, not the student. But my son is waiting to hear from Hamilton, USC, and Conn. Heard from the other schools so far. Acceptances are nice, but if they do not give enough aid in the end he still isn’t able to go.
I am actually a Conn Coll alum
Snow 30… some school do take that into account, but there are others that are need blind. I am sure you will get into the right one for you.
Where in Nigeria are you from? My husband is from Nigeria
^ Nice! @Claretopia . I wish your son good luck!
@Claretopia Really! I’m from Anambra but i live in Lagos
@Claretopia Really! I’m from Anambra but i live in Lagos
I didn’t send in the interview. Does that guarantee a rejection for me?
@badlands No it doesn’t. You will still be accepted if they like you enough. The admission process is unpredictable!
@Claretopia have you ever been to Nigeria?
