Internationals

[Duke99]

<p>Hey
I looked up the site of St. Johns. BUT i couldn't find anything for internationals. Is it that this college is not open for internationals. If it is open, then how much aid de we receive. I'm afraid my family contribution cannot be more than 3500 to 4000 USD. for a whole year (incl room board and all). And how many internationals does it take each year( an approximation)</p>

<p>If it satisfies the criteria above, i'd also like to know more about this college. A LOT MORE actually. I heard about the reading program or sth and it caught me. I'd really like more info about the median SAT scores and all those stats.</p>

<p>This college seems to have shunned the national rankings which is really interesting for me. And one of us CCers told me this college is much like reed. So that's also the reason i'm interested so much.</p>

<p>Hey Duke,</p>

<p>I know it’s pretty late but I figured I’d jump in and try.</p>

<p>We absolutely let in international students! The admissions requirements are a bit different ( we want to know that you know English, for one). We don’t have a quota for international applicants- we accept the ones who are qualified and reject those who aren’t. </p>

International Students</p>

<p>St. John’s seeks to enroll a diverse student-body and welcomes applications from international students. </p>

<p>The college is authorized under federal law to enroll foreign students. In order to be considered for admission, international students must have followed a pre-university course of study and must submit the following documents:</p>

<pre><code>* A completed St. John’s application form accompanied by the required essays.

• Two letters of reference, at least one of which must be from a teacher of an academic subject.

• An official record of secondary work, with all courses and grades, including the results of the appropriate examinations (e.g. “A” Levels, International Baccaulaureate, and so on). This must be accompanied by an explanation of the grading system used and an English translation of records in other languages.

• Test results from:
  a. The Student Assessment Test (SAT) or American College Test (ACT).
  b. The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), if the applicant’s first language is not English.

  These tests are offered at test centers throughout the world, and information about them can be obtained through American embassies, consulates, and educational resource centers.

Financial aid for international students is limited and competition for it is strong. All aid is based on financial need. For non-US citizens the college offers two full-need scholarships annually on each campus, in addition to an unlimited number of institutional assistance awards covering up to 65% of current tuition, room, and board.
