ok..i saw somewhere on another thread that you are asking for fin aid. As you would know already it is tough for international asking for aid about anywhere. that being said, I got into Smith ED with aid..

feel free to look at my stat at the Smith board. There is really no way for anyone to say for sure whether you are in or not. I would say that Wellesley will be the toughest among that three. Smith will probably be more of a match. However, I know of people with equal or better stats then you who got rejected from Smith, so it is really hard to say.

I think that academically you are pretty fine, and I do not think any of the school will reject you base on academic alone. What the adcom will be looking at now will be the person behing the application..Let your personality, passion and sincerity show in your application. I believe that I got into Smith because I showed the adcom just that.

Good luck for your application. Feel free to PM me if you want to ask me more about my application to Smith.

Oh..i think you should check out macalester. they like students with your background(living in different countries etc..)

b@r!um

If you need fin aid, don't bother applying to Barnard. They only offer 3 fin aid packages each year to intls, and my guess is that 200+ students are competing for them.
