<p>gpa: 3.8ish in tiny christian school.
Award: Okay-ish. Just honor rolls and stuff and some volunteer awards</p>
<p>ec: Good. Nothing too special. But had a solid interest in journalism and got
my articles published more than 7 times</p>
<p>factor: $$$$$$$$$. I need almost full-ride to any colleges.
Suggest me any high-reach-safety college!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Right now, im interested in vassar</p>
<p>Look into Questbridge! High-achieving, low income students like you can get remarkable scholarships to schools like Vassar through the special, albeit rigorous, application. It gives you a huge leg up! Check it out at <a href=“http://www.questbridge.org%5B/url%5D”>www.questbridge.org</a>. the program is called the National College Match. You sound like a great candidate, especially if you’ve had to overcome significant obstacles to get where you are!</p>

<p>The OP never said she was low income and she is an international according to other posts. I am not sure if there are places which would give her instate or at least citizen status for graduating from an Oklahoma high school even though she isn’t a citizen or green card holder- maybe somebody could help the OP out with that?</p>
<p>She said she needed almost a full scholarship anywhere she went and that was a big factor. I’m pretty sure QB is open to internationals also.</p>

<p>She will be competing with a lot of international students…many of them also want or need “full rides”. In addition to the limited number of colleges in the U.S. that will guarantee to meet her need as an international student…or where merit aid of that amount is awarded to international students…she should look at schools in her own country.</p>
<p>Vassar does award aid to international students…but they are need aware when considering applications for international students. This means that Vassar admissions will know and consider the applicant’s financial need when evaluating her admissions application. OP…you have a strong set of stats…but just FYI…you will be competing with a group of strong international students AND your finances will be considered. Just FYI.</p>
<p>A note about citizenship requirements:</p>
<p>Only U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents are eligible to receive College Match scholarships to partner colleges (with the exception of Brown, Pomona, Princeton, and Yale, who may consider applications from students who are not U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents). Students who are not U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents can still use the QuestBridge application, be chosen as QuestBridge finalists, and participate in the Regular Decision process.</p>
<p>Although only U.S. Citizens and Permanent Residents are generally eligible
for College Match scholarship packages, our partner colleges will consider all
students who apply through the Regular Decision process, regardless of
citizenship status. Each year, many QuestBridge applicants who are not U.S.
Citizens or Permanent Residents gain acceptance and financial aid to our
partner colleges via the Regular Decision process.</p>
<p>I think your stats are a little low for Vassar (although a rich school) will only give full rides if you qualify for it financially - generally that means unless you are extremely poor - you can expect pay something and to at least take some loans.</p>
<p>well… i just checked today… even though my gpa is 3.8ish… my rank is horribly low… like in a middle… in a tiny christian school… :(((</p>
<p>i don’t know what to do! Do you think Vassar will straight up reject me even if my SAT is in 2300 range? ( my rank is 41 out of 99… )</p>
<p>and can anyone suggest me some match schools ???</p>
<p>by the way, im seriously poor. my parents are teachers…</p>
<p>pjw, your SAT scores are good, but they don’t correspond with your rank. Some colleges may be suspicious of that, or think that you aren’t working to your full potential in school.</p>
<p>There are plenty of good schools whose admissions process isn’t as rigorous. Check out schools like Syracuse University, Northeastern, etc. If you qualify for financial aid, you might get a full ride at schools where you rank above average in the incoming freshman class.</p>
