<p>I am sorry for grinnel Izzy !! <em>hugs</em>
I am also waiting for Bates (my last school !!)but yea well only if a miracle happens:p</p>
<p>hehe....rejected by grinnell, as well..(sorry, Izzy..<em>big warm hug</em> )they should, at least, have had the decency of posting the letter or sth..not just.."application receive date - status (deny)"..elisa, i'm waiting for bates, 2 (my last school,also, since vassar already sent their answers to intls by email last week, and i got none..:( )</p>
<p>Tweet, why haven't you emailed Vassar? or call them? I'm sure there must be an explanation.</p>
<p>anyone here applied to midd ?</p>
<p>YEP! WAITLISTED!</p>
<p>I don't know why, but I'm excited!!!</p>
<p>I'm so sorry to hear that everybody...</p>
<p>I can't stop thinking about this suspicion that intels who asked for FA got rejected or waitlisted A LOT this yr. Is this typical intel thing? or just for this yr? so sad.... and mad....</p>
<p>I have Emory, Rice, Swat left and I'm done.
I don't expect anything that much from these, though.
All I hope is I get into Rice and Emory......
Rice! Rice! Rice! I looooooove Rice! (I'm Asian! hehe)
quite sure that Swat would reject me fiercely :(</p>
<p>Some of intels who have lower stats than mine already
got Emory notification emails saying they are accepted.
no emails for me yet :(</p>
<p><em>group hugs</em>
<em>gives 847 tons of chocolates</em>
<em>shows numa numa numa ye dance</em></p>
<p>im excited with my latest run of waitlist decisions . . :)</p>
<p><em>hugs ellen</em> <em>eats your chocolate</em></p>
<p>middlebury - denied, as with grinnell today...all today....stupid spanish lesson...</p>

<p>Check out what the Americans are saying: most have the same experience. While in some cases it might have to do with FA (with internationals), it's mostly because admissions were incredibly competitive. I believe there's a population bubble that increased applications by at least 10% to most universities, most of which have not expanded the number they can admit. It's not going to get any better next year.</p>

<p>i will not name the school -
but i had some connections in that private school who tried to get me in (by the way, i am an int'l living in the united states).</p>
<p>when my connection went to talk to the president and the dean of admissions for me, they said:</p>
<p>"this student is absolutely brilliant and amazing; however, you must understand that we have to accept students who can bring in "funding.""</p>
<p>when the UC's didn't see me as an international, they accepted me happily and quickly with regents scholarship offers.</p>
<p>USC also didn't see me as an international or didn't care - they accepted me with scholarship offers and early rolling admission. </p>
<p>i asked for aid from every dang school - yes, a lot of aid -
i was waitlisted at eight private schools.
what does that tell you?</p>
<p>it says a ltta things, but right now i wanna stay positive</p>
<p>dinosaurrawr, hey, congrats on the UC's and USC...</p>
<p>sigh
thanks</p>
<p>but i will have to pay a big portion of their tuitions -
those schools do not allow int'ls to apply for aid.</p>
<p>whatever -
poor int'ls are the ones suffering!
i am telling you!!</p>
<p>i really really hope you guys get into the schools you want! :]</p>
<p><em>hugs tightly</em></p>
<p>thanks for comments, dinosaurrawr, and
congrats on your UC and USC admission!
But I thought you are a permanant resident, aren't you?
heard that you have lived there for 7 yrs or sth...
well, if it's wrong, sorry about that!</p>
<p>Izzy, sorry to hear that... don't know what to say
but I really hope you get a good offer from others....</p>
<p><em>big hugs everybody</em></p>
<p>6 hours left before Rice admission result posting (sigh)</p>
<p>naw im not a permanent resident -
it's effin tough to get green card these days.
yeah, i've lived here for 6.5years-ish, and that's why it's so effin hard to stare at my waiting list.</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK with RICE!</p>

I can understand it from UC's point of view as they are state universities and must rely a lot on federal/state funding, but USC is int'l-friendly. I know quite a few students getting scholarships.</p>
<p>hey could you tell me what kind of aid Berkley and UCLA give to intels? I can't seem to find anything on the website....</p>
