International applications

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>Hi, I'm looking to submit international applications to a range of colleges in the US this year. I'm currently resident in Denmark, where I finished high school 2 years ago. My final exam result is around a 'C' on the american scale, so I'm a bit in doubt if I should even consider applying. </p>

<p>Im hoping to get into one of the many business colleges, and a proper one preferably. Let's say that i do very wel on my SAT or ACT, and TOEFL tests, and that the cost of the college is no problem. How well would my chances be? I'm looking at NYU Stern and such, but i don't know if it's way over my head. </p>

<p>So what i really just want to ask is, with very good results in the required tests, and good financial support, would I stand a chance at getting in at NYU Stern for example?</p>

<p>Thanks for your time.
Best regards

<p>You'll have better chances of getting an answer if you post this in the "Chances" forum. <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I'd say you have a chance if your scores are high, you have a strong essay and show the schools that you are really motivated. High school grades of international students are less important for American colleges because the international school systems are usually very different. So your Danish final exam would not hurt you THAT much (unless it is the IB which is pretty much the only recognized exam).
Good luck!</p>
