@cursingmonk Well the SAT and SAT 2 test fees, TOEFL fees, and then the fees to send these scores to the colleges. The college application fees, the postage fees to mail transcripts/recommendations or whatever. The CSS PROFILE (ironically, for financial aid) fees. Possible fax/phone bill too.
Did I forget anything?

Hey, guys.

What are the requirements to waive the TOEFL requirement for applying to US uni's?

perazziman

junaid, I believe some universities will waive the TOEFL requirement if you have a sufficiently high CR and Writing scores on the SAT. However, this varies from university to university so check with the schools to which you are applying.

In the past Richmond, Lehigh, Grinnell, Cornell, Rochester, Brown, Columbia have waived based on CR. William and Duke did not require the TOEFL. Carleton, Rice and Claremont Mckenna did not waive.

Even if they waive it it is recommended that you should give the toefl anyway. It will help you in your visa later on too.

Hey I am an A2 student right now and I need done help with my college choices.
My Grades are as follows

I don't know what happened as my predicted grades were AAAB so now I'm retaking everything except psychology. I'm also taking the SAT in November and my expected score is around 2200. Then I'm taking SAT II world history and literature in december and expect to get good scores in those too.
I also have decent EC's

I play football otherwise (out of school)
I'm a council member of the school Conservation society and World Affairs society
I write poetry
The school charity/community work society- I volunteered at a public hospital for around 40 hours, was active in the bake sale used to raise money for charity, collected clothes and food for flood victims, made gift packs and distributed them at a children's hospital and I'm a member.
I also volunteered at the psychiatry department of a prestigious teaching hospital and carried out research for two studies and helped out in occupational therapy in the ward. -250 hours
My grades in school are average, say around a 70-75% overall every term.

Help anyone?

I would probably apply to Rutgers New Brunswick rather than Newark. It is the main campus. I believe the Psychology department is on Livingston campus. So expressing an interest for residence on that campus could make getting accepted to Rutgers NB more likely.

@Cuppycake, have you checked out University of Richmond?
Sorry if this is getting excessive LOL

cuppycake08

Yeah I did but it's acceptance rate is 33% or something and the only colleges with really low acceptance rates I'm applying to are Barnard and Wellesley because I love them and it may possibly be easier to get in as they're women's colleges. Otherwise this is kind of my list and I just want a second opinion on whether you guys think these are good choices.

Eugene Lang doesn't offer much aid to international students and it also depends on how much aid you might require . . . but its a nice school, very avant garde.

@cuppycake08
I think you have a very good chance. Just go for an early-decision-binding with something like Barnard or Wellesley. HUGE chances of getting awesome aid/acceptances.
Good ecs. Work on your essays/SAT! Good luck.

cuppycake08

The problem is, I won't be able to apply ED anywhere because I won't have my SAT/SAT II scores by then. Also, my AS level grades suck, so I'm retaking them and I won't have my results till January. Also, I've taken Wellesley off my list and replaced it with Ohio State.

@cuppycake08

I'm a sophomore at Lafayette from Pakistan and I would highly suggest you do ED (binding) here, cause from what I can tell you have an interesting personality, and I've seen people with not-so-stellar grades but genuine life stories get in with full aid. Let me know if you have any questions!

@freakozoid Can i get in Lafayette?
