<p>Hi! I'm an international student from Ethiopia looking to apply to Berea College. Berea College is one of the few colleges in the US that I can actually afford. I really love the school and it probably is my first choice. So what are my chances? Here are my credentials:
Secondary school records: There isn't any GPA in high school in Ethiopia. But my total unweighted average is 93.6 out of a scale of 100.
SAT: Haven't taken it yet, but I'm registered for the October 5 test. I've been cramming so I'm expecting good results: 2000+ hopefully.
TOEFL: Haven't taken it either, but will on October 12.
Extra Curriculars + Volunteer work:
ICT club member for 3 years
I write for my school's paper
Goalie for my school's soccer team
Rotary International member</p>

<p>Hello Privateape, If it was just about affordability, I am afraid Berea College would not be affordable to most students. Total expenses is about 34,000.00/year if you were to pay out of pocket. Fortunately, NO ONE pays that at Berea as you might already know. So, if you can afford Berea College, then you might not be what Berea is looking for. On the contrary, Berea actually seeks Promising prospective students that can not afford college anywhere. I would say, fill out the financial questionnaire online and see if your family income meets Berea’s requirement. Best of luck during this process.</p>
