<p>Does Colgate 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>Your grades matter more than SATs, but that a 1520 SAT is easily in the top 10% of accepted students' SAT scores; especially a 790CR for an international student.</p>
<p>i'm also taking SAT II's in December, i know they are not required, but will 700-800 scores significantly help me?</p>
<p>I e-mailed the admissions office the other day regarding the SAT IIs, and the reply was that they are not used for admissions purposes.</p>
<p>thanks davie. Anyway I've got to take the SAT II's since I'm also applying to colleges that require the subject tests.</p>
<p>About my grades and EC's ...</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>
