My chances for SJC?

<p>Hello, I'm now a senior and currently worried about being rejected ;-(
The thing is that I'm a Asian living in Seoul and needs a full aid or else I can't afford it.
I heard SJC's financial aid for international students is limited and I'm afraid that I'm not going to get any. </p>

<p>My family earns more than 85000 and has more than 3 property. However my parents say that they aren't going to help, so I need to pay the whole tuition by myself.
So........ I been thinking whether I can get a full-ride with my situation......</p>

<p>Questions!</p>

<p>First of all, my sat scores are 1690 in total (math 590, reading 540) and 560 in literature
and my GPA sucks however got in top 10%, and got several excellence awards in korean literature, english, Korean History.
*My TOEFL score is 95.</p>

<p>Also I've got 8 poetry awards, worked as a reporter for 2 months,
attended human rights seminar for 2 years and been awarded 2 times for group presentations, took part in Red Cross Youth for 3 years and been awarded.
Moreover I am a member of Amnesty International and is taking part in Urgent Action.
Plus I've attended Hanyang University for Creative writing, and got 3 credits. </p>

<p>Is my GPA or SAT enough for SJC? </p>

<p>And is my situation enough to get a full ride? If not, could you recommend me one? </p>

<p>My first choice is SJC and I really want to go =)
However my situation doesn't help me.
I really need some good advice !</p>

<p>Did you get accepted yet?</p>

<p>I’m also an international applicant. I was just accepted 3 days ago. You missed one thing: your passion for St. John’s College which should be shown in your application, especially essays. I got 1890 for SAT and 106 for Toefl which I don’t know if are important for the admission committee while making decisions. I think I wrote a really good essay. All you should do is to try your best. According to their website, your financial situation does’s influence your admission result. So try your best to be accepted and struggle for enough aid. I like your family though they seem cold. But I don’t know what I could do if my mother doesn’s support me any more. I just became an adult 1 month ago and am still a dull high school student.
By the way, this forum seems almost dead…

<p>My son just got accepted at St. John’s. Can anyone share information about the college? I know quite a bit, but would like to hear from people with recent direct knowledge of the college.</p>
