Discus: What Are My Chances?: International female considering Barnard, Dartmouth, Middleb
By Honeysuckle (Honeysuckle) on Sunday, October 03, 2004 - 03:41 am: Edit

Can anyone be so kind as to evaluate my chance at those schools for me?
SATI: 1300
SATII: Writing/ Chemistry/ Biology to be taken soon but should be 700ish

I finished A level in England and got AAC, C in Biology after a totally sleepless night so decided to take SATII Biology to make up for it.

My school does not rank.

ECs:
- Piano for 11 years, got the certificate from London School of Music and Media
- Aerobics for 12 years
- French club
- Volunteer for Oxfam 4 hours/ week
- A partime job: 12 hrs/ week
- Global Young Leaders Conference nominee
- Ia m currently taking a gap year in my Asian home country. I teach English, take French class and dancing lessons.

Awards:
- The first comer in the entrance exam into my high school
-The second prize in the municipal English gifted contest of my city.
- Silver and Gold certificate from The UK Senior Maths Challenge
-The most promising student at my school in England

I am aware that the application pool to anyone of them is very keen, but what sort of applicant does each school want? Do I have any shot? To rate my interest in the four: Barnard>> Dartmouth and Middlebury >>>> Trinity .
Especially I want to know about the finaid policy of each school to internl students. Does Barnard hold an aggressive attitude towards International students?
Thanks a lot in advance.

Honeysuckle -
what is the verbal/math split on your SAT?

Macalester and Brandeis offer aid to internationals.

I think that Barnard has limited international financial aid; you might want to check out their website.
