<p>Hey,</p>
<p>I am an international student from Nepal and I will be sending in my application in a few days. Could you please chance me?</p>
<p>High School grades:
Advanced Level:Economics- A*, Business Studies- A,
Advanced Subsidiary Level: Mathematics- A, Sociology- A, General Paper- A</p>
<p>Class rank- 1st out of 100 students</p>

<p>Honors received- Best Economics Student, Best Business Studies Student</p>

Sports Teacher for 2 years in a local school( helped kids with all their extra curriculars)
Helped teach tennis clinics in different parts of the country</p>
<p>I am applying for quite a hefty amount of aid( almost a full ride).</p>
<p>I do not think many of us know how to chance you. My feeling is you have ok stats, but since you have full need, the financing will go to US students first. But I might be wrong.</p>
<p>Do you really want to go to Bucknell? Why? Or are you just wanting to get into some top USA school?</p>
<p>Good Luck.</p>
<p>you need to send email to the admissions office about your situation.</p>
<p>If I remember correctly during the campus visit information session, they said that for international students, their admissions offer is “need aware” (meaning your financial needs may lower the odds of you getting admitted). I am not sure though whether I recall this perfectly. </p>
<p>In general, as a rule, even schools with rich endowment that brag about their “full needs met” financial aid policy don’t have the same policy for international students. Of course, there are exceptions. </p>
<p>I suggest you find this out about various schools you are considering before you apply to them all. Applying to, say, 10 schools, can be quite an expensive affair (what, $600-700 in total?), and if your requirement is near full ride (to the tune of $50,000+ in most private schools) that may make applying to many schools a pure waste of money on your part.</p>
<p>By the way, the cost is not much lower in public schools as an out of state student. Besides, I HIGHLY doubt that many public school, with all the budget problems they are facing these days, will give a full ride/near full ride scholarship to international students.</p>
<p>My honest opinion is your choices will be quite limited.</p>
