Class of 2024 Nepal

Not everyone is ready with essay :smiley:

I have not completed my essays yet…

Results are out guys.
Did you get the score you wanted?

Hey is it true that if we dont ED we have lower chances to get in? I got my desired score this oct, but I dont think I’m ready for ED. Do I have chances at good schools in RD ?

I also have the same question. I got my desired score but my essay is not ready yet.

How much did you get djskakan ?

Also, my EFC is like real low. Will I get in anywhere if I put in like 4K EFC ? I got a 1500 this oct sat. I really need fin advice.

I got 1470. My EFC is also in the same range.

Hey Those of you applying ED Can you guys share where you’re applying

I tried last year. It was a huge mistake!!

@Hero127t What do you mean?

@brahamjohn I was talking about rice application/

@Hero127t What happened with rice application ???
And is anyone’s SAT score report pending??? Mine hasn’t been released yet

Why was it a mistake? @Hero127t

@paniccake Hate to break it to you, but 4k efc is really low. I have a 1500 too, with decent CIE grades but I’d say a 1450 SAT with 8k efc tops the former one. I’ve been there. I had 10k efc, with decent essays still got knocked down by 1400 SATs with 15k efc. It’s cats and dogs out there for international students.

My counselor told us that Rochester has sliced their international Fin Aid, so it might be more difficult to get in there since they aren’t taking as many students.

Thank you @MarcoThePhoenix ! so do you really recommend I put 8K efc no matter what ? even to my ED college ? But doesn’t that mean I gotta work instead of doing fruitful internships just to pay the college fees, affecting my grad scl transition?

@paniccake Not really. For ed 4k efc might just work as u have a good SAT score. Which uni are u applying ed to?

Yeah, I have also heard that even 1k more EFC would matter a lot.

I think I should consider more safe colleges. But they usually don’t provide good scholarships.

Thanks @MarcoThePhoenix ! I’m applying ED to Bates. I really need some safeties on my list too @Djskakan What are the safeties nepali people apply to ?
