So how did you guys do on the SAT?
Sophomore @ Vandy here. Will be happy to answer your questions as well.
Well! How about you? @thehairbender
Pretty good. Few of the reading questions seemed confusing. The rest of the test was easy. What about you? @Cyanogen
Hey folks. I’m an RBS graduate taking a gap year. I’m going to ED to Amherst. Anyone else thinking about Amherst?
Which college are you from? @thehairbender Reading as always sucked. I’m not expecting much from the test.
I wanna ask everybody, having an average stats should try out to average US college (just to study in US) or should give a shot to elite universities? I’m here interested to .major in Computer Engineering with 75% (from science). Please suggest me some universities for early decision
@thenameisNuwanda I was thinking about it. Btw do you have an art portfolio or something equivalent?
@thehairbender I’m planning to send a music portfolio.
@Cyanogen ‘average stats’ is a pretty subjective term. It’s very difficult to tell from just grades, and 75% is pretty good in my opinion. If you think your SAT scores etc can compete with other applicants for elite colleges, there’s no harm in trying. You say you want to do Computer Engineering, that really limits your options because only a few liberal arts colleges have engineering.
The first that comes to mind is Lafayette, it’s acceptance rate is almost 30% which is reasonable; however, you can never really rely on acceptance rates when you are an international student seeking financial aid.
Good luck.
lol @Shulav how’s it going bro?
@thenameisNuwanda v. good! v. v. good! 10/10 would recommend reed
@Shulav Did you ED to Reed or RD?
@thenameisNuwanda ED2. I highly recommend applying, more so, from this year because they recently created a fund for low SES people for emergencies as we cannot usually afford american “emergency” costs. Also, they now say that no student will have to go food-less, home-less or drop out of college due to money issues now, which is v important.
Hey friends, this is my first post in this thread ! Has anyone, or anyone you know of, thought of applying Ed to Upenn, Columbia or Cornell ?
hey @cauldroncastle bro! Is Vandy providing a full need-based aid?
@ShippingUpToUS Yep.
Anyone applying to Soka Uni?
Hey Guys!! How did you do in the October SAT?
