<p>Thankyou guys!!</p>
<p>I got the aid package too and its…its just too good to be true!! Near full-aid <em>thank God</em>!!!</p>
<p>Hope everything works out for all of you!! :)</p>
<p>ony applied to 5 haha</p>
<p>Maaz, I think you could say that based on the fact that Wesleyan does not have the same endowment as a Grinnell or those other big $ schools. However, I have not looked into the fact beyond this. Since, the LACs do not have engineering, I have not been looking at them as closely as I should as my son is interested in engineering.</p>
<p>Guys, i need some urgent help. I asked one of my A’level tutors to write my recommendation letter and he said that in the form he got, there is a question about the courses he’s taught me and their ‘difficulty level’. Now for the courses he’ll obviously write A’level but he’s a bit confused about how he’s supposed to describe the difficulty level for A’levels. I mean, should he describe it in terms of the high school difficulty level or what?! Or should he describe the difficulty in terms of that 100-level, 200-level thing which U.S students use?</p>
<p>the deadline is near…so any ideas will be appreciated !</p>
<p>@oldfashion I think he should use his teaching experience. I mean if less students are getting A on further maths in a particular school then its obviously tough as compare to urdu if more than 60% have A grade in that subject 
btw its just my opinion.</p>
<p>Hey guys long time since I have posted here, im an international student, anyways I just really wanted an opinion on something from you guys. I got into Imperial,UCL etc etc last year (planning on doing a Biology major with a concentration in molecular bio.) So far will go to grad school as well. But I don’t know plans change. Anyways I wanted to know if any of you think I should apply to USA as well. Ill probably apply to Bowdoin, Duke (for the sake of it I dont really think I will get in pretty crappy SAT score) and Sarah Lawrence not much and i will probably change my major if Im in the USA. I dont have any family in the USA which mainly puts me off in the first place. Anyway just need advice so… :/</p>
<p>@Worstgpa Hey there. If you can afford UCL or Imperial then i think you sjould definately choose it. Getting in US with the ranking of that level is quite difficult 
But if you are looking towards a more liberal environment and not just focusing on Academics then USA is place for you. Good luck :D</p>
<p>@ahtesham I can afford imperial (rents saved up) but sometimes my head just keeps telling me to go to usa. But I might be all alone there which scares me tbh. I know I sound like an idiot but eh I guess I’ll give four institutions a go? Any recommendations for an overall good student with pretty much average SATs</p>
<p>Son got accepted to the College of Engineering at TX A&M, College Station.

<p>Congrats perazziman!!</p>
<p>@WorstGpa Sure I think You should go for Emory, Duke, Uni of illinois, UNC and couple of more National Universities. Good luck and i know it will be an amazing experience for you living in USA alone ;)</p>
<p>@Worstgpa I am the US right now all alone, without any family. As long as you make the right friends, it is awesome. This is a shameless plug… But University of Richmond?</p>
<p>@ahtesham, thanks for the help! So my tutor should just describe it more generally right? I mean from his teaching experience? I was just confused whether there is a particular way of describing it or something…</p>
<p>@perraziman, thats amazing! Congrats to your son :)</p>
<p>@perraziman Hey Congratulations! and best of luck to your son
@oldfashioned Yeah! I mean he is an experienced teacher ofcourse and obviously can distuingish the difficulty level of the course so i think he should explain all that stuff from his experience and his point of view. And yes there is not any international way which allocates difficulty level to different courses ;)</p>
<p>Thanks guys. He is so thrilled he does not want to apply anywhere else. I am telling him to atleast apply to a couple of the top privates by Jan 31.</p>
<p>Someone from Aitchison College got into Princeton EA! More Pakistanis here please!</p>
<p>@alibhai Wow thats cool. Btw i think Ivy league Early acceptances are very rare to International students</p>
<p>Three from Pakistan got into Yale…</p>
<p>@diuron81365 Really!! Thats so cool! I hope we all end up in our dream college</p>
<p>I meant Jan1 :)</p>
