<p>GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS ! any STATS about those who were accepted for class of 2015?</p>
<p>metalmania i will advice you to apply to some “less selective” colleges TOO with SAT scores<2100 it’s very hard for internationals to really standout with average scores(unless you have something like 8 A LEVEL A*).I have no idea why alot of my pakistani brothers keep trying their luck with SAT reasoning because IMO ACT is more of an aptitude test and by no means it’s easier than SAT reasoning.</p>
<p>Congrats intemister!
Hofstra used to send me a daily email to send in my application, but it’s ranked way too low for my liking… I am sure it’s a safety for you anyway. :P</p>
<p>Ugh, I sorta knew I was going to get deferred anyway, and yeah chances are slim for RD but you never know… I had some scores arriving late and my interview was late, so maybe they didn’t get time to read my full report, who knows.</p>
<p>Anyhoo, any safety schools with good international aid? Preferrably with a Jan 15+ deadline.
I just realized I am way too optimistic in my approach, all top universities and only a couple of safeties.</p>
<p>Yes hayyan , thats how they got me. through those regular emails 
. Yes it just applied there to stop them bugging me! Anyway to answer your question, there are loads, state schools, SUNYs CUNYs and the lot. What is your list?</p>
<p>Hayyan:</p>
<p>Dude (if u are one) I have really done a lot of research on trying to find these safety schools with international aid. Why dont u post ur stats so we can suggest some good safeties for u!</p>
<p>Intemister, I thought the same… but turned out to be too lazy at the end of the day. =/</p>
<p>I AM a dude, is it really that ambiguous?</p>
<p>Stats, not that great I guess
SAT 2000 (M:800 CR:600 W:600) [really poor I know, I was getting 2200’s on practices… damn test day anxiety]
SATII 2300 (M:800 Phy:760 Chem:740) [1 day of prep :D]
Transcripts are mostly A’s and A<em>'s, a couple of B’s I think
9A’s in O-Levels, 1A</em> in A-Level (I took on A level maths in 1 year)</p>
<p>I was head of the Mathematics society at my school, organized an inter-school competition on my own. Aside from participating in a lot, representing the school.
Head of the student organized annual school magazine throughout my O-levels.
Sports include Football (school team), Table Tennis (held record for best in school)
About 200 hours of volunteer work with Zimmadar Shehri (NGO) working alongside ANF (Anti-narcotics force)
Keen interest in film-making/videography, won a lot of events with my movies :D</p>
<p>Very strong Teacher recommendations and counselor recommendation.
Intended major is Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Maths and Stats.</p>
<p>My current list of Universities:
Yale (deferred to RD)
UPenn
MiT
Cornell
Johns Hopkins
Stanford
Texas A&M
Wisconsin Madison
Northeastern (maybe)
Ohio State University - Columbus
LUMS (we all need a real safety :D)</p>
<p>Any more safeties?</p>
<p>How much are you willing to pay? Aren’t you up for Lehigh? If you apply for ED II they will meet your demonstrated need. I guess you should add Lehigh in your list, and probably go for ED II! Your stats are clearly above average in case of Lehigh. I know a person who got into Lehigh with a composite of 1200(hardly) for the class of 2015!! So, if not in ED II, you must think of RD. They have an excellent engineering program. Oh yeah, and the person I’m talking about, got into Lehigh for Aeronautical Engineering Major with Mechanical Engineering Minor or vice versa(I forgot). </p>
<p>Good Luck!</p>
