<p>Go to McGill and apply as a transfer if you perform well (3.8+ GPA despite the grade deflation).</p>
<p>Transferring is a possibility but I figured if I’m taking a year off to go to Haiti anyways, why not take another chance? The worst that can happen is another rejection and then I can really move on and just go to McGill. </p>
<p>Are the listed schools above generous with aid to internationals?</p>
<p>Are you fooling yourself with this Haiti thing? Would you be going to Haiti if you were admitted to HYPC?</p>
<p>As far as aid for Canadians goes…</p>
<p>NYU - None available
Chicago - Extremely competitive if you need aid, even more so if you require a great deal of it
Duke - I forgot, it’s either like NYU or Chicago
Georgetown - None available
Dartmouth - Meets full need + need-blind
Williams, Amherst, Middlebury - Google it. I think they all meet full need and they’re need-blind except for Middlebury, which is need-aware.</p>
<p>Why wouldn’t I take a year off even if I got into HYPC? What’s the big deal? I’m just entering college 1 year later.</p>
<p>any more advice/chance?</p>
