| u have a very good chance, but it is unfortunate that you need financial aid because you will be competing with all the other over qualified international students in need for financial aid. From what I hear is they accept 1-2% of foreign applicants in need of aid. Since most top colleges except for perhaps Harvard and Amherst are need blind for international students this really limits you chances. However, you are extremely well qualified so should have decent chance but it is not a safe bet by any means. |

| hi! thanks for the reply! do you think applying without financial aid will increase my chances?? if so, i can apply that way and then try and get an external third-party financer (work-plan scholarships). what's the percentage of international applicants (w/o financial aid) who get in? hoping for a prompt reply! thanks!  | |

| Dude, take a breather. If you don't mind, I would like to ask why you're going on the whole prestige thing. I just don't understand why Indians (don't worry, I'm one too) and Asians just eat up the whole prestige thing...It's like we think that "oh, if we go to a "name" university, we have the right to be successful and snooty to other Indian/Asian people (like, hey, my son's going to Princeton, look at me). I just don't get it, and since you're going on that ticket, I'd just like to find out what the whole deal is.
And btw, with my stats(check out my old chances threads), I got waitlisted at Stanford, into Georgia Tech, and into UT Austin. I think you should consider UTAustin because they've got a lot of International kids and as far as prestige goes, its a top ten/15 univ in a lot of things, like Pharmacy, engineering, law, business, etc. | |
