Any internationals winning major merit $?

International Students
1

<p>Are there any super success stories out there (eg. international winning merit FT, FR or similar)? Are winners of major invitational scholar programs mainly (like 100%) US applicants?</p>

<p>What universities will consider an international applicant in the same pool for merit $ as US students?</p>

<p>Interested in chemical engineering. Family can not afford EFC, so only merit
scholarship can make a difference. Good stats (SAT 2360, gpa 4.6/4)
Thank you.</p>

<p>hmm…a really good SAT score n good GPA…high chances…I guess u also need to take SAT2 isnt it?..well,if u work out on ur ECs n the essays a little…then I guess even MIT wont hav a problem acceptin u…n bout aid…forget bout the merit thing(use it in the app) if ur applyin to a need-blind uni…they will afford ALL ur costs if u require(provided u get in)…else there r many colleges which provide merit scholarship(s)…from my side,apply to Ivies…u will surely get in a good one…(dont forget MIT.)…</p>

<p>yeah…with that sat score…even the best of ivies will have trouble overlooking you…</p>

6

<p>where are u from huh?!.. if u are probably from Asia u will have to compete with thousands of great applicants… if ur from south america or africa or Europe, it’s 4 sure u have great chances!!!..</p>

<p>but not many candidates can overcome those scores to say the least…</p>

8

<p>From Australia, currently living in US. Does it make any difference what country you come from?</p>

9

<p>It seems to make a difference if you are from Asia…</p>
