UNC
Villanova
Richmond
Ithaca
William and Mary
UPENN
I plan to major into business.
I know my SAT scores must be too low for PENN, W&M and UVA but taking into account the fact that I'm french what do you think?
thank you</p>
<p>well, taking into account that you're french, your chances are even slimmer ^^</p>
<p>lol I just meant that because I've learned English at school I couldn't expect to score very high at an exam I had never heard of before this summer...</p>
<p>do you need financial aid? your chance would be greater if you don't.</p>
<p>Looks like a great occasion to promote my post (HEEHEEHEE...)

<p>It will depend on your need of money. Even so, your chance at PENN, W&M, UVA, and UNC is very dim due to your test score. If telling truth is being mean, I am being mean then. Bear in mind that you are competing with elite students from all over the world in a applicant pool in which colleges generally have a lower acceptance rate. You being from France doesn't make up an excuse for a low SAT score. Basically, if you are not A/L/URM, college usually never admit a student whose SAT score falls in to the lower 25%.</p>
<p><em>Gasp</em></p>
<p>no I don't need financial aid, in fact I thought that the acceptance rate for international students was higher.... :(
And what do you think for the other schools?</p>
<p>bump. please other opinions?</p>
<p>UPenn and UVA seem to be a high reach for you, but you never know. UNC and W&M reach too. The others one I never heard about so I can't help.
Do you have great ECs that we should know about?</p>
<p>By the way I'm French too, So I'm wondering:
What was your section for the Bac? And your "moyenne generale"?</p>
<p>International student competition is very difficult, and it is much harder to get in as an intl. Penn, Virginia, and such all have intl applicants who have good stats, and I doubt they will overlook SATs for being an intl. Essentially, it is harder to get into top schools as an intl.</p>
<p>thanks everybody for the replies,NO, I don't have any great EC's...</p>
<p>to leonor89: J'ai eu mon bac S sp</p>
<p>last bump. please could anyone tell me my chances at Villanova, Richmond and Ithaca?
thxs...</p>
