Hi!!!!
So,which unis u consider as int'l safety.......with/without aid...plz consider both cases of aid....

b@r!um

without aid: almost every school (depending on your stats) below the top 25.
with aid: some fourth tier private and public schools that guarantee everyone with an SAT score of 1250/1600 a full tuition scholarship. u want a list?

issacnewton

If u hav one...then y not........

b@r!um

Well, it's more of a random list of schools (some are all-women's or historically black) offering merit aid to internationals. Maybe you have a use for it.

Boston university r u nuts ??? to get a full ride you need like perfect SAT's , perfect SAT II and an amazin gpa

I think many many intels consider boston as a saftey because their admission rate is ~50%. It may be for some who can pay full but for those needing aid.. it is definetly not a saftey for the AVERAGE interntaional applicant.

genericgenius

yah.. boston univ isn't worth considering as safety...

b@r!um

That list wasn't supposed to be a list of safeties but a list of schools offering merit aid (usually full tuition scholarships) to internationals. And Boston university does, even though it certainly cannot be considered a safety when you depend on a scholarship.

A safety would have to be a school in your own country.

zules01

Definitely. Why would you apply for a safety abroad and spend so much for a school that doesn't suit you academically?

NBZ

I agree; unless unis in your country are truly rotten you should have at least one safety in your country.

zules01

And it is very likely that you couldn't even afford the fees if universities in your country were really bad... logically.

issacnewton

Well,its very true that a safety should b in one's own country.......It can b more true than that.....
I was just wondering,How on earth ppl declare some unis as their safety??

NBZ

three considerations I would say- one, you would get in very easily (your profile is far superior to the average profile of students there); two, the admission process should preferably be simple and objective (if it isn't it can still be a safety but not an ultimate safety if you know what i mean); three, it should be financially viable.
