<p>Someone Please let me know which 5 colleges among these are the easiest to get into ....</p>
<p>Well I can tell you that these colleges are definitely NOT easy to get into (from what I’ve read anyway):
Amherst College
Bowdoin College
Kenyon College
Middlebury College
Williams College</p>
<p>I think Mount Holyoke is rather easy to get into. Gettysburg, Trinity, Grinnell, Colby and Hamilton all accept about 1/3 of applicants.</p>
<p>I’m sorry, but you need to do the research annasdad did. None are shoo-ins. Each has a sort of student it looks for- we don’t know your interests, stats or needs. One could be easier to get into and tend to offer less aid. Another could have better aid and tons of competition and a different accept rate. Plus, the wise choice hinges on which suit your major.</p>
<p>I want to major in Maths or Economics … I am taking the SAT on 1st October 2011 and 3 SAT Subject tests on Maths level II, World History and Physics … I have always had A1s throughout my High school in Maths …</p>
<p>I imagine most, if not all, of these schools have acceptance rates around 10% for aid-seeking internationals. Generally speaking, the better the aid, the tougher the competition.</p>
<p>Your chances of getting in *and *getting sufficient aid are so low at practically every school in the US that the statistical differences become irrelevant. I can tell you that while Amherst and, say, Vassar or Macalester have roughly the same acceptance rates for internationals, the acceptance standards are probably higher at Amherst. But on paper at least they’re all incredibly hard to get into for aid-seeking internationals and we can’t make any predictions.</p>
<p>Personally, I got into some very selective schools, was waitlisted at one *extremely *selective school, and got rejected, among others, by the schools I considered my surest bets. International admissions depend entirely on how many students the school is prepared to fund in a particular year, whether it’s received a couple of outstanding applications early on, whether it’s admitted any students from your school/country before and how well they’re faring, and so on–in short, it’s a very whimsical process.</p>
<p>Ok … then are there any colleges in US … not top schools … any average school … in which admission is not very hard and aid covering tuitions is available …</p>
Dartmouth is a university, yes - hence why I noted Amherst is the only LAC with a need-blind policy. It is extremely unusual among universities, however, in having only ~700 graduate students in the arts & sciences. (For comparison, Brown has over 1800 A&S grad students.) Additionally, with ~4200 undergraduates, it is one of the smallest top universities.</p>
<p>The line between LACs and universities can be quite blurred at times. Bryn Mawr has nearly 500 graduate students, and Wesleyan has over 200. Washington & Lee and Lewis & Clark have law schools; the latter also has a graduate school of education. All of these are nevertheless considered LACs.</p>
<p>Dartmouth is indisputably a university, but for an international student needing financial aid and wanting a small environment, one could certainly do a great deal worse. </p>
<p>
Dartmouth College is need-blind for all applicants. Financial need is not considered as part of the admissions review for any applicant.</p>
<p>No one can predict where you will get in AND get $25-30k, as an international. No one knows how competitive a candidate you are. You won’t have SAT scores til fall. All we know is you have A1s in math. No one knows if the colleges will think you even need aid- all we know is what your dad says he will pay. Plenty of parents set a wishful limit- but the colleges determine your “need” based on their own formulae, from income and assets. Read a site like finaid.org. Research each college for aid policies and the math/econ you want.</p>
