<p>98!!! omg, almost perfect average,,, I have only 89..........</p>
<p>yeah...top ivies are almost impossible to get in if you're international (I like to think I wouldve had a good shot if I weren't international, but who knows)</p>
<p>those who do get in usually have national gold medals in their country</p>
<p>I have a similar stats like yours except GPA and a bit fewer ECs</p>
<p>but I think 98 is impossible in my school, the highest average in my school has never gone higher than 94</p>
<p>I thought you haven't taken the SATs yet</p>
<p>no, based on the practices</p>
<p>is the admission process of ivies pretty random? cuz there r some guys got into them</p>
<p>Well phro I do strongly believe if u werent intl u would have gotten into some of those schools. o well, im sure ull be happy at the amazing ones you did get into. congrats on the stats and acceptances.</p>
<p>phroz3n why didnt you apply for FA for some of those schools? I can understand that some are cheaper than others but, Stanford $ = Penn $ ?</p>
<p>Congrats wit your acceptances and stuff! Where are you heading?</p>
<p>Stanford isnt needblind and I just wanted to see if I could get in. As for the rest, they don't offer financial aid for international students.</p>
<p>Thanks guys, I'm heading for berkeley engineering woohoo!</p>
<p>berkeley! great school congrats! thats one of my dream schools too</p>
<p>See that's great. You are ending up at an amazing school. You were right about the international pool being INTENSELY competative in the top colleges, so congrats on getting into those!</p>
