The European Thread

<p>So, I see Asians are more than well-represented among the exchange student community, I just wanted to see if there were any european students wanting to study in the US.</p>

<p>Jules, from France. Applying to USC and a bunch of UCs. Freshman in college, doesn't plan to come before junior year.</p>

<p>Hi! I'm Duygu, from the Netherlands. Planning to apply Early Action to Yale. Not sure whether it's going to work, though. Kind of depends on what I get for my SATs.</p>

<p>Phil, Germany.
toying with the idea of applying ed to princeton. same thing with the sats here. currently studying my ass off... </p>

<p>i'd say we ought to have a better shot than the asians who are over-represented. i doubt we can keep up with their math-scores though ;p</p>

<p>Yeah, the asian over-representation is a problem and an advantage at the same time. We clearly can't match their scores, but there are not many Europeans applying to US schools, so the diversity card may work for us.</p>

<p>Good luck to you all.</p>

<p>im asian but there are many europeans who has/ gotten great SAT scores just because there are plenty of asians here it dosen't really mean everything. it just tells you more asians know this site compare to europeans lol plus im gave up Northwestern, Cornell, UC B and UCLA for an international experience at Warwick Univeristy</p>

<p>I'm a first-year at Wellesley College from Switzerland so I'm actually already done with the application process. But if any of you have questions, feel free to PM me.</p>

<p>I'm Canadian, wanted some international experience so i'm doing my undergrad at the University of Amsterdam. Has a better economics department than every university in Canada except for U Toronto. But that's in my hometown so booorrrrring.</p>

<p>For grad school I'm considering American schools (UW Madison, UMich Ann Arbor, Georgetown) and a few in the UK. (Warwick, LSE, Oxford, UCL)</p>

I'm from Germany, too.
@Phil: What are yours grades like when you plan on applying to P?</p>

<p>Hey Jules which section were you in High-School? Litteraire? Eco? Scientifique? and how about your BAC score?Another question..Does it make too much of a difference between going to Science Po and going to Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne (For politcal science, of course). I'm a student who's also considering France and I just wanted to know your opinion. Thank u</p>

<p>I was an economic baccalaureate, and I got a 13, which is not very good, I know, but I started realizing school was important second semester of senior year :(. I could have gotten a 15 easily if I had someone to push me.</p>

<p>Sciences Po is WAY better than the Sorbonne for Pol. Science, however, it is very, very hard to get in, and it's reserved to the elite only. Unless you are really good, like in the top 5% of your class, don't even bother. And be careful, only Sciences Po Paris is worth going to for an international.</p>

<p>hey Phil and b@r!um I'm from Germany, too.
Which part of Germany are you from? And b@r!um which university you prefer?</p>

<p>I live in a small village in the greater area of Nuremberg, nothern Bavaria.
German or American universitiy?
What about you?</p>

<p>I was in Terminale L but I couldn't take the BAC (The principal didn't let me..). I LOVED education in France, the first term was awful because I didn't speak a word of french, but at the end I had an ok GPA...13. And I would love to study at Science Po but as you say...it's so incredible hard...! I guess it'll be the Sorbonne for me if I decide to go back...</p>

<p>Yep. Don't come back until you're a junior, again. You want to avoid the secondary education centers and enter the real Sorbonne directly.</p>
