<p>I'm a rising senior living abroad ( somewhere in Asia).
We have different gpa system so i don't know how much it is if i change it into the US gpa, but i'm pretty sure that i'm top 10% in my school.
SAT1: CR680 M790 W710 (planning to take Oct sat)
SAT2: M2C 800 Lit 720
n i have no aps or act
our councelor told me that i can apply to University of notre dame, Rice, University of Rochester, U of michgan ann arbor, and nyu
But i really don't like u of michigan and nyu(too expensive!! my parents can't afford that).
i think notre dame and rice are okay, but notre dame is a bit too cold, i think. (i don't know for sure........)
can u recommend me some colleges that i might be able to apply to?????
please help me out!!!!!!</p>
<p>To help you, we need more info. Are you an international student or an American studying overseas? What are you planning to study? </p>
<p>You don’t need APs or ACTs if you have SATs and SAT IIs.</p>
<p>oh…um i’m an international student!
n i’m thinkin about studying psychology or undergraduate marketing!</p>
<p>Take a look at the small liberal arts colleges (LACs). They offer financial aid to foreign students to increase the diversity of their student bodies. The teaching is often excellent, the advising is personalized and the classes are smaller, which is helpful to students coming from overseas. The negative is that the names are less well known abroad (including by guidence counselors) and they are often (but not always) in rural locations. (Rural doesn’t mean that the facilities aren’t top notch-only that you are not near a major town or city).</p>
<p>Take a look at Macalester, Grinnell, Carleton and Oberlin in the midwest (cold but eager to recruit foreign students). Check out Pomona and Claremont McKenna in southern California. Look at Davidson and Wake Forest in the southeast. There are another dozen in the northeast-Bates, Colby, Bowdoin, Amherst, etc…</p>
<p>Marketing is considered ‘pre-professional’ and won’t be offered at liberal arts colleges: Big universities will have that, but why study it as an undergraduate when you can always go to business school later?</p>
