Applying to the College Class of 2017 (Starting College in the Fall of 2013)

<p>Everyone over here has applied to all the LACS which give substantial aid to internationals and thus competition is really tough. I think I will get all rejections from all the top LACS I have applied to T_T</p>

<p>@ahtesham why are you so worried you have got a very solid backup HKU with full scholarship</p>

<p>@alisiddique yes of course but still who know what happens… it is always better to have a safety</p>

<p>@SAT456 sorry I misguided you before the guy at Case Western got 40,000$ aid per annum.</p>

<p>Kenyon decision are coming in the mail! Did anyone get in?</p>

<p>What! are you sure? Gosh, I live halfway around the world. Maybe those are early writes? lol</p>

<p>And yes, PakiRootsian, I totally agree with your argument about this whole process being a crapshoot for intls. Luck plays such a huge role haha. But it is good to know which schools have a proclivity to take in UWC students - these are the schools intls should avoid. I am firm on my stance that UWC students receive a bump in the process only because of their schools, and to quote my friend at a UWC, “colleges like Macalester and Skidmore are for people who are bad at English here”. Lol. UNFAIRRRR.</p>

<p>On Kenyon: “Admission decisions for students studying in the U.S. will be sent via first class mail, while those for students studying outside the U.S. will be sent electronically.”</p>

<p>@ahtesham- What were his or her stats?</p>

<p>He has a YALE and Stanford summer school and don’t know his grades</p>

<p>Has anyone here applied to Hanover or DePauw?</p>

<p>@PakiRootsian early acceptance letters from Kenyon are you sure; how do you know??</p>

<p>Yes, Akrish, I’m certain. Someone I know got a package. Also, refer to this: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/kenyon-college/1468484-kenyon-class-2017-a.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/kenyon-college/1468484-kenyon-class-2017-a.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>These are Regular D, of course. </p>

<p>I always believed that the reason behind picking so many from UWCs was that you have to be very good to make it to a UWC in the first place; hence you will obviously also stand out in the college application pool. In my experience ordinary people don’t make the cut for UWCs so I always thought that universities would also know that there was a reason behind them having gotten to that stage. Obviously sustained academic achievement is a given for anything in life, and this would be no exception, but generally speaking that’s what I felt.</p>

<p>Yep, but I know a couple of UWCers who did not perform very well in their UWCs – and still got picked over very qualified applicants who did not even apply to UWC in their times. A high school should not be given that much weight.</p>

<p>@PakiRootsian the girl who got the acceptance is although a US citizen but living outside US so that maybe the reason. Her letter was dated 1st March.</p>

<p>Eh I doubt that was the reason. Let’s not make excuses. I’m prepared for the bad news. lol</p>

<p>@Vivaciousakrish I think your right we are rejected but I think we would have to wait till April to hear that</p>

<p>No, I called Kenyon. They said all intls will be informed within this week. I hope they just send an email. Getting a rejection letter mailed too is just annoying.</p>

<p>wohh thanks for the update @vivaciousakrish Brace yourself guys Kenyon decisions are on their way.</p>

<p>Or your fat acceptance packages could be at the local Post Office and just waiting to be processed. That’s why there should be electronic notification as well, but fret not :stuck_out_tongue: Good luck!</p>

<p>OMG OMG Kenyon!!! Why you no come after March lolz… i am nervous and prepared for the rejection</p>
