<p>HELP!!! I am really stressed out about colleges right now :(
Hi I'm Jenn and I'm from Thailand. I only applied to 5 schools -Ithaca, Drexel, Purdue, PLU, Princeton. I am accepted to the other 4, and waiting for Princeton (and I am not confident about getting accepted.)
The problem is, my father passed away when I was 13, my mom is a single mom (unemployed). Been tutoring kids almost everyday after school to help her. I will need full-rides or as much aid as possible. I have been offered scholarships from all the schools but at the very least I will have to pay about $10,000. This is too much for my family, and I do not want to become a burden to my mom.
It's already March and I'm not sure whether there are schools I can still apply to and be eligible for scholarships FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS. Can you suggest some schools? I am planning to study biology or maybe chemistry.</p>
<p>Here's my stats:
SAT: 1950 (super-scored)
SAT2: biologyM- 780, chemistry-700, physics-650
APs: biology-5, planning to take chemistry and calculus AB this year
GPA: 4.12 , 3.98 unweighted
others: - played Thai musical instruments for 11 years,
- JV volleyball team
- TaeKwonDo black belt
- really involved esp. community service, ~80-90 hours, mentioned in Strait Times, service organizer, class rep</p>
<p>I'm really passionate about cancer research, because if cancer did not take my dad away I probably wouldn't even need scholarships.</p>
