<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I'm an international living in Sydney, Australia. I'm interested in attending the Biomedical Engineering program at Duke, and am also applying for aid + scholarships. Would you mind telling me my chances at admissions with aid as an international plz. And yes, I realise it's difficult getting in as an international seeking aid.</p>
<p>My stats are-</p>
<p>SAT-
M:750 CR:770 W:780 - 2300</p>
<p>SAT II -
Math IIC: 800
Biology M: 800</p>
<p>GPA -
We have no equivalent in Australia, but we have a final leaving examination mark, which is essentially a percentile ranking for the state. My estimate (by the school) is 99.4, and I'm expecting at least a 98.</p>
