<p>Does Carleton offer need-based financial aid to international students?
I presume admission is extremely difficult for internationals, but once accepted, is the "full demonstrated need" met ?</p>
<p>I scored 790 Critical Reading, 730 in Math, and 670 in writing.
I hope I'll get really good SAT II scores.</p>
<p>Do I have a chance ?</p>
<p>By the way, I'm Honduran. (Central America)</p>
<p>Have you looked on the Carleton website? I know they give very little "merit" aid to U. S. students, though my daughter got a pretty decent need-based grant. (She's a freshman.) With your SAT scores and the fact that you're Honduran, I think you'd be a very appealing candidate for Carleton. Contact them!</p>
<p>It seems Carleton does offer substantial financial aid to international students.</p>
<p>Some other facts about myself:</p>
<p>My GPA is 3.72, however I'm ranked 4/83, maybe #1 had a 3.8 GPA.
EC's: Here's my problem. I don't have much EC's because my school didn't have any activities whatsoever. I know this is not a valid excuse though. Anyway, my only real activity is really good I would say. I go on Saturdays to a rural community some miles from the Honduran capital city Tegucigalpa, to take food, clothes, books, occasionally medicine, etc to the poor community. Actually, this is my Common App essay subject.</p>
<p>Do you think not having many EC's will hurt me?</p>
