<p>Hey,</p>
<p>Anyone here applying to Sarah Lawrence College?</p>
<p>Sahil</p>
<p>I’ve created a facebook group as well. </p>

<p>I was going to, but someone here advised me not to as they offer little FA to Int’l’s and the amount declines every successive year.</p>
<p>That is not true at all. The one thing all websites and everyone looks over is the amount of aid SLC gives. It is actually a very generous college. Just apply. No harm done.</p>
<p>Are you working in the Admissions Dept. as a student intern?
Oh well. I guess I know where to get all my Sarah Lawrence info now!
Is Sarah Lawrence looking favourably at Indian applicants? What is it’s acceptance rate for Int’ls asking for aid?</p>
<p>Crazysah is a freshman at SLC. I have him on my Facebook. Pretty helpful :)</p>
<p>SLC is a great college but it’s super-expensive.</p>
<p>I visited SLC this year. Not for me. It was too “out-there” for me. I wanted more of a traditional college experience.</p>
<p>Yeah. As Putturani said, Sarah Lawrence is nowhere near a traditional college. We don’t have exams and we interview the professors for the classes!</p>
<p>If anyone wants to add me on FB then please PM me with your profile link and I’ll add you.</p>
<p>Wait. </p>
<p>NO exams?</p>
<p>:O</p>
<br>
<br>
<p><.<</p>
<p>How are students assessed then?</p>
<p>Well, some classes may have exams and tests but mostly not. We have to do one big conference paper every class, every semester. We are graded on that.</p>
<p>@Crazysah, i so badly want to apply. SLC offers an amazing writing programme, i hear. Its exemplifies the true nature of an LAC. But i dunno, they require the applicant to have written a research paper {attested by the school}. unfortunately, i dont have one, and its too late to write one. So i guess that i’ll have to give it a pass :((</p>
<p>also, to anyone applying, SLC has good, challenging supplement essay prompts.</p>
<p>Sorry for the way late reply but you can still apply. I didn’t have a research paper. I just wrote one and then got it graded by my teacher. Mine was only like 5 pages. It’s not hard. Do it and apply!</p>
<p>I wanna apply there too…but…I hav 2 problems.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>FA…I need it desperately. There is no way I can afford SLC without Financial aid. So just wanted to know, what is the criteria of giving Aid in the Uni? How much can the amount be?</p></li>
<li><p>I hav absolutely no idea how to work with my supplement. I mean, the essay and the project. I have a Business studies project from class 11th, where I had searched (not googled, searched) over internet and collected info. The thing is, it is handwritten. The supplement says I need comments/grades of the essay on it. So I was wondering…Should I just scan it and send as a compressed file, or type it and send in form of a document? If I type it, the grade won’t appear, and if I don’t, there is no guarantee it will be accepted.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Help me out with this one?</p>
<p>I don’t understand why SLC needs a research thesis. That requirement surely deters many good competitive applicants from applying!</p>
<p>They are SATs optional, so they need SOME basis to know that the children applying are capable…ryt?</p>
<p>In any case, I have to know what I need to do. The deadline is not far off…Somebody help!!!</p>
<p>Then just be like the others and require the SATs because all students who apply to the states take it anyway! :)</p>

<li>The aid is given based on how much your parents make and has nothing to do with the decision you get about getting in or not.</li>
<li>It doesn’t have to be something researched that well. You can just make a new one. Make sure it does have like some small research done and your analysis. Also make sure you then get it graded from one of your teachers. </li>
<li>Yes, scan it and upload it and also send a copy with your application as well.</li>
</ol>
<p>My writing is a mess…I will type it too, just in case…</p>
<p>Thnx sah…Its a relief that my financial situation wont affect my app…TG!!</p>
<p>Yeah no problem. You can add me on Facebook also if you have anything else to ask or say.</p>
