Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey im an international student from Myanmar planning to get an undergraduate education in the US. Currently i have a gpa of 3.2 unweighted. My sat scores are CR:640 W:640 MATH:790.
Im planning to major in computer science and some of the schools i want to attend are:
WPI(most wanted),RIT,GeorgiaTech,Cornell,UCB,UCLA.
Im also planning to take the SAT subject math exam in october.
I will have taken 4 AP classes by the end of next year. AP Calculus AB, AP Physics,AP Psychology, and AP Computer Science. </p>

<p>I dont do any volunteer work and such but i played varsity soccer up until sophomore year but stopped after breaking my foot.</p>

<p>Can anyone give me some advice and chance me on which schools i can get into?</p>

<p>Do you need financial aid? This can play a big role in admissions, as few schools are need-blind for international students?</p>

<p>I would appreciate some but not a lot is needed. My family is pretty well-off. Isnt financial aid given to… Practically every student?</p>

<p>Here are several lists of schools that give aid to internationals:</p>

<p><a href=“Competitive Full Tuition / Full Ride Scholarships - Financial Aid and Scholarships - College Confidential Forums”>Competitive Full Tuition / Full Ride Scholarships - Financial Aid and Scholarships - College Confidential Forums;

<p>Not for international students. While some schools do offer excellent financial aid packages to a percentage of accepted international students (<a href=“http://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/the-short-list-college/articles/2013/09/19/colleges-that-give-international-students-the-most-financial-aid”>http://www.usnews.com/education/best-colleges/the-short-list-college/articles/2013/09/19/colleges-that-give-international-students-the-most-financial-aid&lt;/a&gt;) only a few are need blind for such students (<a href=“Schools Awarding International Financial Aid”>http://www.internationalstudent.com/schools_awarding_aid/&lt;/a&gt;)</p>

<p>Okay. Assuming that i dont take financial aid at all. How much of a chance do i have?</p>

<p>Therefore, if you request financial aid, your chances of getting in are lower for many schools. I’m not telling you not to apply to the schools you are most interested in, but be aware of their policies and consider applying to a need blind school and some schools that are less selective, but still admit a decent number of international students.</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance but your GPA is low. Nice Math score though. Your family can afford $60,000 a year?</p>
