_ International, needs near full aid… only 3 or 5k contribution a year
_ i live in the states, so my ECs are compared to those stellar ones of US students. if i lived in VN my ECs would be considered awesome because there’s no one doing anything there . but in here, my ECs are nothing.
_ i have a twin… and they can’t award 50k a year a couple of twins… especially with economic downturn… i got waitlisted at Bryn Mawr, Franklin and Marshall, and Colby- which aren’t super hard schools… because my twin also applied there… but i got into Colgate and Oberlin with near full aid cuz my twin didn’t apply… we didnt factor the twin effect into the process.</p>
Congrats everyone else.</p>
