<p>Hey, I am an international student from Pakistan. I have applied to Drexel and was wondering what my admission and scholarship chances are:</p>

<p>SAT Reasoning test: 2030 ( 580 CR, 680 Writing, 770 Maths)
SAT subject tests: 2310 ( 760 Physics, 770 Chemistry, 780 Maths Level 2)
TOEFL: Took on 12th Jan 2013. ( Result Pending)
O levels: 7 A<em>s and 3 A's
AS levels: 1 A</em> and 2 A's.
If I convert my grades into GPA, it will be around 3.8-4.0 according to one online converter.
Good recommendations
Some good EC's and some other achievements.
I have applied for electrical engineering with 3 Co-op option.</p>

<p>Plz tell me what are my chances? How much scholarship should I expect to get, If I get any?</p>

<p>Anyone please?</p>

<p>SAT456, did you apply elsewhere??</p>

<p>Drexel is not for you. You are too good an applicant to worry about getting into Drexel!!
You’ll mostly get a full ride!! </p>

<p>My advice - leave Drexel and go dig gold elsewhere!! :)</p>

<p>Edit: Ohh - Your CR score seems a tad bit low though. But I guess TOEFL will cover that up!!</p>

<p>Hey Rishav17,</p>

<p>Are u a student at Drexel? I was worried because of my CR score. </p>

<p>Thanks btw.</p>

5

<p>Nope - just another applicant.</p>

<p>But believe me when I say you WILL get in.</p>

<p>A 100+ on TOEFL will be more than enough!!</p>

<p>Rishav17,</p>

<p>Can I ask your stats? </p>

<p>Ya I am hoping for a 100+ on TOEFL. I just don’t have to get in but I need a good amount of scholarship as well.</p>

7

<p>In the common app application, I was asked whether I intend to apply for need based aid in Drexel university? I said NO since Drexel does not give need based aid to internationals. </p>

<p>Have I done the correct thing? Please reply!</p>

8

<p>^ Well, Drexel offers aid only to select ED Intn’l candiidates and none for RD candidates - so it doesn’t matter!! </p>

<p>And my stats are quite similar but I have very low school grades!!</p>

9

<p>A 2030 will probably get you admitted. The notion of a full ride is not realistic.</p>

10

<p>Well I don’t necessarily want a full ride. I am in need of atleast 60-70% coverage of my tuition fees only. Is that realistic rebel?</p>

11

<p>I really don’t know. Thats a conversation you need to have with Drexel.</p>

12

<p>@ SAT456 - did you apply for any <em>full tuition</em> or <em>partial tuition</em> scholarships?? If not then the maximum entrance scholarship one gets ~ 60% (no full rides). Though, only time will tell if you will get a 60% schol!!
And where else did you apply??</p>

<p>Alternatively - you can work out a loan, if you don’t get the scholarship & then once in college, you can try and channel in funds from departmental scholarships, etc.!!</p>

<p>@Rishav17,</p>

<p>We are automatically considered for partial scholarships. I will apply for full tuition scholarship once I get Drexel id. I have not yet received details of my Drexel account. I submitted my app on 15th January. Do you have any idea when will I get those details? I mean what is the approximate time after submitting the app?</p>

<p>I applied to following schools in addition to Drexel:</p>

<p>1) Union college
2) Trinity college
3) Case Western Reserve University
4) USF
5) Yale University
6) Ohio Wesleyan
7) Harvard College<br>
8) Bucknell University</p>

14

<p>^ Yes and no. We are considered for partial entrance scholarships. But there are quite a few other partial/full scholarships which require another application.</p>

<p>I got my applicant ID within 3 days, but that was way back in November!! </p>

<p>Ohh nice list. Yale & Harvard seem reaches. But CWRU, Ohio Wesleyan, Union, Bucknell and USF are all matches, if not safeties!!
You’re sure to get a lot of acceptances!! :)</p>

15

<p>Hopefully!</p>

<p>Can you please tell me which partial or full scholarships are you talking about? The global leaders scholarship require an application. But, what other scholarships require an app?</p>

16

<p>^ I was talking about Drexel Global and a few others!!</p>
