<p>Hi guys. I am a desperate Chinese with really low standardized test scores: SAT 1: 1750; SAT 2---Math 1: 700, Math 2: 700; TOEFL 75. (Plus I need full financial aid.) Do you know anyone with the same stats getting into Brown and other Ivies (I am also applying to Harvard, Yale, Penn Wharton, Cornell, Brown.)</p>
<p>My essays are really unique---I worked hard on them.</p>
<p>…probably not.
Chinese as in asian american or international? if international, your request for financial aid will…no offence, further lower your already barely-existent chances.
and tbh most asians applying to schools of this caliber have sat math scores near 800…</p>
<p>I’m a Chinese as an international.
Thank you a lot!</p>
<p>Or…Probably Yes. You see Mr/Miss Please that SATs aren’t everything in a college admission, although I have heard that Stanford evaluates you mostly with your Stats…but you don’t know what is in store for you.
Search for some safeties.</p>
<p>its difficult, and with fa its even more. There is nothing distinct in ur stats. Otherwise i applied to stanford with 1990 sat score but 800 in math with no fa. I know that my chances are extremely low, but i applied bcoz i thought maybe they will give a little relief for english as math is good. but on ur app there is nothing outstanding. But then also who knows who gets in.</p>
<p>your stats seem a bit synthetical:1750,75,700,700.
But in general your chances aren’t 0. If you have great essay, who knows, they can accept you.</p>
<p>Thank you guys very much. I tried my best in the application process, but I am very aware that my chance is near zero, if not zero…</p>
<p>well here is an advice: since you are aiming for stanford, why not others like dartmouth/williams/amherst or even the like of pton/mit? the difficulty of getting in is about the same but those schools are much more willing to give aid to int’l?</p>
<p>for an international, i would have to say your chances are not very good at all, especially with your Financial Aid need</p>
<p>Well, I’m also a Chinese with sat I 2250(cr680, ma800, wr770), sat II 2290(750,770,770), and toefl 113, but still not bold enough to apply for FA… LOL, you need a really killer essay</p>
<p>Honestly, I don’t see an international needing aid with a 1750 getting in.</p>
<p>Good luck, but since you haven’t mentioned any spectacular EC’s, it would be quite a stretch for you to get in.</p>
<p>Your essay is going to have to be Shakespeare (and that’s going to be hard seeing as English in not your first language)…</p>
<p>Thank you guys a lot for all of your “good luck”!</p>
<p>My counselor said that a Stanford admission officer called her yesterday to ask for some information about me and their discussion lasted half an hour. Is this the same for every other applicant?</p>
<p>it doesn’t look so good. you may want to look for alternative schooling</p>
<p>your stats like a joke,can’t make me serious.but good luck anyway.</p>
<p>and i just want to add many chinese apply with 2250+ sat1 and 2400 sat2,most of them don’t need fa.</p>
