No problem, PM me or VC (I'm gonna volunteer her on this one) if you need any more help! As far as finaid is concerned, it should say on their website, under EA procedures.

| Hi guys, I'm an international. Got a 2290 on the SAT (level 4) and 2400 on SAT subject tests (Phy, Math, Chem). My admissions essays were risky and lacked focus, but my 3 recommendations are good. ECA's are okay, but not very impressive. Asked for 8000 dollars of aid; me mum's gonna pay the rest.
Applied to Caltech, Stanford, Purdue, and Texas Austin. Decisions are to be out very soon. What do you think are my chances? (P.S. I dying of hypertension here) | |

| ^^There is a specific "what are my chances?" forum that I'm sure would get many more responses
Purdue and Texas=IN
CT and Stanford=sux your essays lacked focus, those are extremely important for those schools. good luck! | |

| vc08, looks like you were dead on:
' It is with regret that the Admissions Committee is
unable to offer you a place in Caltech's Class of 2012.'
Hoping you're right about Purdue and Texas as well. Otherwise, I'm screwed. Big time.
Thanks for the honest opinion! | |

| haha, well no worries, 85% of the people who apply to CT get rejected. But not only do I agree with vc that you'll get into TX and PU, I think you'll get an academic scholarship to those schools. Let us know how it all turns out! | |
