<p>I would to know what happens in case all of the schools you apply to, reject you. Do you apply the next year? I<code>m not familiar with those things as I</code>m an international student.</p>
<p>You apply to at least one safety so this doesn’t happen. =)</p>
<p>But considering one has no safeties, community college (idk about UK colleges) or a gap year are a few options.</p>
<p>I wouldn<code>t like the idea of going at a community college and then transfer. I</code>d like to stay at the same college 4 years. so if you don`t get admitted you apply again next year, so that will mean that your chances of admission will be maybe lower?
and what you do in the senior year then, will count as for all the other years for your admission?</p>
<p>Domestic students are generally advised to apply to a range of colleges, with some schools that will be very difficult to get into (reaches) down to schools where, based on their grades and SAT/ACT scores, they are almost positive they will be accepted (safety schools). They also take their financial situation into account, and if they need financial aid or merit scholarships in order to be able to attend college, they include financial safety schools on the lists.</p>
<p>As an international student, coming up with a balanced list is a little bit trickier, as colleges may be less familiar with your high school and your grades might be more difficult to interpret. Also, international students have fewer options for financial aid, and many colleges that are need-blind in the admission of domestic students are not need-blind with internationals.</p>
<p>If students are not accepted to any of the colleges on their list, it is generally because the list did not include true safety schools. If those students don’t want to attend a community college, a gap year does not necessarily reduce the chance of admission to college the next year, particularly if the activities during the gap year demonstrate maturity, an interest in a particular subject area, a passion for service, etc. </p>
<p>When students apply the following year, they may include the colleges on the initial list, but they often add other colleges to which they are applying for the first time. Those other colleges will have no idea that the student was rejected previously.</p>
<p>Thank you a lot for your answer!! I<code>m not a senior yet ( i am in junior year) but it</code>s very good to know that :)</p>
<p>If you are an international who can pay for college, then you should apply like Americans do to a full range of schools including a couple you are certain you will be admitted to (stats over 75th percentile, acceptance rate 35 percent and up). </p>
<p>If you are looking for substantial aid there will be no safeties. And your chances won’t go up by waiting a year so your best option will be to attend a school in your home country.</p>
