<p>I actually don’t know much about schools not requiring the WR section.
I suggest you make a thread on “Schools not requiring WR” in the College Admissions forum instead of the International students forum. There are many helpful parents there who could help you out A LOT! I’ve seen them suggesting schools I haven’t even heard of and when I research them they turn out to be pretty good!
I cannot suggest many colleges to you; unfortunately, you and I are looking at different schools. The few I did suggest were those I had picked up on the College admissions forum.
You can also post your stats there and ask for suggestions. I’m sure that’ll be of a huge help.
You should definitely apply to Sarah Lawrence, it doesn’t even require the SAT and its an amazing school! I think you have good chances there. Louisiana State, Mt Holyoke and Lafayette also you have very good chances. Your scores are good for them. You should be following what I advised you to do in my previous posts- thats the best way to go about researching if a school is a match score wise and acceptance rate wise or not.</p>
<p>For each school to get more info, you’ll have to explore its website. Check out the admissions section and individual departments.
Feel free to PM if you want more help :)</p>
<p>$6M might look like a lot but it funds no more than 150 international students. That is less than some liberal arts colleges who are only a fraction of the size of Penn.</p>
<p>cornell is pretty stingy with aid as well. did you mean NUS by NUT ? NUS is pretty generous with aid. i know ALOT of people from india and china studying there with almost full rides. Its a running joke, actually, that the school has more foreigners innit than local students.</p>
<p>No…that was a typing mistake…
I meant NTU Singapore
Guys please tell my chances in ALL the universities I listed. In Uni of California, I think I will prefer Berkeley…Tho I am open to others as well</p>
<p>Perfectpixie, wow, you give really detailed advice. What are you going to be majoring in and where? You should start charging for this kind of help!</p>
<p>One thing though - I applied and got in to McGill, and they didn’t seem to give too much importance to extra-curricular activities - didn’t ask for them at all, actually. Unless you’re applying for a Major Scholarship. Do you know anyone who is going to McGill this fall?</p>
<p>Hi, my name is Nalneesh and I was in the same spot you were a year ago. I recommend you take a look at indiaadmissionsconsulting.co.in. They are a group of former US admission committee members who help Indian applicants trying to get into US colleges. They helped me get into a few schools, and now I go to the University of Chicago. I recommend them, because unlike a forum like this they’ll give you real, professional advice and even help you with your applications. </p>
You’re aiming far too high. There’s no way you’re getting into Upenn or McGill. But you might be a good candidate for decent state schools like UW Madison or Twin Cities.
I am a student from another South Asian country who got into a Top private school for the class of 2019 and I say, all the stuff about not getting guidance is crap. If you have a good internet connection, that is all the guidance you need. Rather than complaining about that, you need to focus on researching schools by yourself. I see all the colleges you listed have been from the ones suggested by people in this thread. You need to go out there(Google?) and research things on your own, and you’ll learn a lot.
I don’t think your gpa is a problem, since the international adcoms will know how much grade deflation in your school and adjust to it. But the SAT of 2100 is not in par with other India students and you will not be able to attend those elite schools such as Cornell even if you are able to pay full cost, never mind if you need financial aid.
Better try those automatic scholarship unis start with Alabama and Howard as safeties. I don’t think you even have a chance with Berea .
