<p>“I mean, don’t simply say what you THINK it should be.”</p>
<p>I want to know more facts and real info instead of this bs talking and guessing in the admissions game, adcoms, and not adCONS :)</p>
<p>( I THINK ) I wish there were more transparency in the admission process. How do you know if it is worth your while to apply, and how do you know how much it will cost, including loans, in the end?</p>
<p>I say I THINK because one item I picked up in reading CC is that the collges outside of the USA are pretty straightforward. boom boom boom, 1, 2,3 standardized test score, you’re in, or you’re not in. At least in teh USA one has a chance to show off other parts of your self. Plus, in the usa, colleges might have a more colorful diverse mosaic in the student body, the people you’ll live with the next 4 yrs, which is nice :)</p>
<p>[I wonder if there is that level of diversity at those european or other extra-usa colleges? related question: what do the european colleges do with the apps that have higher then their minimum test scores? Just simply exclude them ?] this is probably a different thread.</p>
