<p>ok. I’m applying for transfer, but I’m international. Thing is, adimission is not need-blind. If someone could tell what is the average award they give to int’l students and what are generally their stats?</p>

<p>Here’s my stats anyway… feel free to tell me my chances:</p>

<p>SATs: V 640 - W 630 - M 730</p>

<p>GPA (Fairleigh Dickinson University): 3.82 (science GPA: 3.95)</p>

<p>EC: nothing spectacular but it’s alright</p>

<p>I can only pay up to 15000$. Do I have a reasonable chance for admittance?</p>

<p>Would the fact that I am Lebanese negatively or positively influence my chances?</p>

<p>Thanks in adavance!</p>

<p>i'm an international student as well, but im only going into college autumn of 2006, so i'm not that informed. but when i was looking at schools i understood that they basically don't give international transfer stud's ANYTHING, thats the problem with most schools. so when i was picking my school i was very careful, knowing that that's where i'd be stuck for 4 years. good luck</p>

<p>oh thanks for replying. I'm sure that Brandeis offers need-based financial help to international transfer students since it's there on their website, but I do not know how much would they possibly give, especially that I'm asking for a lot. (approx 30k between loans, aid grants, merit scolarships, and work).</p>

<p>ouch. i have to hand it to you, thats a lot/ but your credentials are pretty great. plus are you transferring from a uni in your home country or in america? because maybe they want someone exotic- er.....</p>

<p>I'm transferring from a Uni in the US. But I've only been in the US for 2 years, and I spent the rest of my life in Lebanon, so I wouldn't think that would be something negative. Anyway, good luck to me, although I'm not very optimistic. :S</p>
