Class of 2018 here Gap year WOOHOO!

rew2402 · June 4, 2012, 4:02pm

Wassup '17ers?
Fellow applicant here from the Indian Thread. Hows everything coming along?

perazziman · June 5, 2012, 6:52am

Hello rew. There are no '17ers here yet. Hopefully, as Fall approaches they will show up. My son will be applying to the class of '17.

Princeton2017 · June 6, 2012, 3:47pm

Is it reasonable or crazy to apply to 20 colleges?

International admissions are so competitive and applying to most of the top schools if you’re a competitive applicant is considered necessary here in Pakistan.

Consider this:

2 have no supplement or application fee.
2 have no supplements.
I will probably apply to 3 EA, one private and two public so there’ll be less work to do.

Princeton2017 · June 6, 2012, 4:23pm

btw you should update the list.

1 from Aitchison to Middlebury, Duke and Northwestern.
1 from LGS 55-Main to Trinity, Hofstra and Denver.
1 from LGS Defence to UPenn.
1 from Aitchison

pkteen · June 6, 2012, 5:06pm

@princeton 2017 Im taking a gap year so I’m 2018. But I’m applying to 21 schools so I’m in the same bandwagon.

Princeton2017 · June 6, 2012, 6:05pm

oh ok. but you already know you’re taking a gap year? How come?

bluelovexD · June 7, 2012, 1:47am

21 schools? You guys are crazoooo
I applied to only 11 man and I was like dying doing apps and essays (and spending like 1200 USD on apps)

Princeton2017 · June 7, 2012, 7:04am

@bluelovexD, yeah i know which is why im probably gonna cut it down to at least 13.

majinmanandhar · June 8, 2012, 3:48am

guys! can you give me some names of USA Universities that lie in rural(country) areas and doesn’t require SAT?
PLEASE HELP ME GUYS… I’M REALLY GETTING DOWN!!!

perazziman · June 8, 2012, 4:30am

^There are many colleges in the country, can you be more specific? Which state? What type of rural area, cold, warm, mountain, low flat coastal, desert, forest, lake, river, ocean, agricultural, ranch, farm? What do you want to study? What is your educational background? How much do you want to spend a year? What are your hobbies and interests etc?

bluelovexD · June 8, 2012, 4:30am

How selective are you looking at?
Also, aid?

majinmanandhar · June 8, 2012, 5:12am

-suburban area.
-no preference to weather.
-Engineering in Computing.
-A Level graduated.

Princeton2017 · June 8, 2012, 6:13am

Bowdoin is rural and doesn’t require the SAT.

bluelovexD · June 8, 2012, 9:59am

Wait, do you want rural or suburban? Coz they’re sort of different…

There is a whole list here: [SAT/ACT</a> Optional 4-Year Universities | FairTest](<a href=“http://www.fairtest.org/university/optional]SAT/ACT”>ACT/SAT Optional List - Fairtest)

I recommend the following: Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Smith & Bryn Mawr & Agnes Scott (all girls), Middlebury (this one is amazing), Bates, Bard, Franklin & Marshall, Hamilton… I know a lot more about aid giving schools though and these are quite generous. However a lot of them are LACs and don’t have engineering though. They do have similar majors such as computer sciences etc

majinmanandhar · June 8, 2012, 10:52am

not rural but suburban

perazziman · June 8, 2012, 11:16am

I would probably recommend WPI and Old Miss.

Princeton2017 · June 8, 2012, 2:42pm

If you want West Coast, the Claremont Colleges are an amazing group of colleges in California, 35 miles out of Los Angeles.

Sarah Lawrence is definitely a place you should look at; they don’t accept SATs or any other form of standardized tests.
