Your school doesn’t have its own email address?
Are these Universities good enough for an International seeking low contribution? [3.78 GPA, rank 1]

Nope.
If we all say ‘no, you won’t be able to transfer’ are you going to turn the school down? If so, don’t bother applying to those schools now.
Get in and then worry about transferring.

Well then I assume colleges will have to find some way to verify that he is in fact the principal of the school and that he did send it. @MYOS1634 do you know how colleges would do this? Would they look up the school phone number and call, or? I am assuming they won’t just accept something from a Gmail or whatever address. Or would they accept at face value what is in the application and only verify if the student is admitted and takes up the offer?
Steps to transfer:
- Get accepted to a college, with enough funding
- Be academically successful at that college for at least a year.
- Go through the application process again to transfer - yes, this means more applications and more essays and more letters of reference and more transcripts - and transfer applications need more justification than “I want to go to your school because it is higher ranked than the one I am at”.
- Get admitted at a school that will give you enough aid to go there, bearing in mind many schools are less generous with transfer students than freshman, and also bearing in mind that not all your previous classes may count for credit so you may end up taking longer to graduate than you initially expected - and will need to check your funding will cover that if that happens.
You are currently still pre-step 1.
He has mentioned that he has submitted his phone number.
In addition all my other teachers are also doing the same.
We do not have institute specific email because our school does not have a website.
I have switched schools due to circumstances, I originally thought to give my previous school counselor to apply for this because they have way better documentation process. But I ended up doing with my current school.
I am really worried how universities will look into this. Probably, going to be a bad remark.
Thank you, I was quite mistaken before.
I am planning to apply to reed, should I just write my December sat and apply RD?
I looked at so many schools that now I am bamboozled to which to apply EA or RA.
I can’t just catch up which each scholarship deadline and god knows whether they provide ISFAA forms.
I am currently have:
Uconn applying by november 1 to scholarship
Umiami (EA)
Amherst (EA)
University of Florida (EA)
Urbana Champaign
REED (should I EA?)
BARD (should I EA?)
OBERLIN (should I EA?)
Rutgers (should I even apply?)
The main thing I am thinking is that EA Improves the chance to get financial aid in the earlier rounds.
Please please add the ones I should EA if you have any.
I don’t know what I am missing, there are so many universities, I am so sorry guys. I am currently looking at ones have EA on November 1.
Do I even stand a chance to get the stamps scholarship being an international student?
Can someone tell how much 9th grade marks are taken in consideration compared to other grades in percentage?
More or less, the student provides numbers on whatever they can find:
Number of students enrolled total year 1-final year, number enrolled in the final year, %passing board/national exams and % earning various board/exam distinctions, % final year students going to a selective college, % going to a 4-year college or equivalent, % going into further education; whether students regularly or occasionally win/are awarded whatever is considered prestigious in the country; % minority/lower caste group and/or receiving the equivalent of scholarships, bursaries, free/reduced lunch.
That’s then reviewed by someone in Administration and stamped then provided by whoever is/acts as GC.
If a non official email address is used on CommonApp or CoalitionApp (which can be required by the school since it’s not “official” correspondence aka within board/state/department to school or board member but to foreign body) the principal will be asked to verify the documents uploaded by sending confirmation to a specific counselor at the college through an official address. Sometimes through a phone call instead of or in addition to the email verification, depending on how often cases of fraud have happened for that country/board.
If no official email exists, there needs to be a link to an official proof the school exists and official phone numbers there.

Cross out UConn, Rutgers, UIUC, UF. There won’t be sufficient merit.
You can only get sufficient merit MAYBE if you’re very lucky at regional universities.
DO apply EA to Oberlin, Bard, Reed.
(I would add a note about fit but at this point it’s too late so we’ll cross that bridge when/if we get to it).
No.
Not as much as the rest but they’re taken into account. For you as an Indian board student your class X results will be weighted more heavily; you’ll be expected to have at least 70 and hopefully 75+ in all/most subjects with higher in some subjects.

STAMPS scholarship, They say internationals are welcome, but there are no stats how many get them or not.
STAMPS winners are young people Ivies fight over.
Internationals aren’t excluded but they’d need to have done something akin to curing cancer or winning an international prize because that’s the standard for Americans too.

I think I miscalculated my GPA and every colleges uses different measures,
I have gotten 9th: B1 (english), B2(math), B2(Science), C1(social), C2(telugu).
ranking: a1: 92- 100 a2:83-92 b1: 75 - 83 b2: 67 - 75 c1: 59 - 67 c2: 51 -59
10th CBSE : 81(math),81(science),79(telugu),96(social),91(english)
11th State: 70/75 (maths - 1),71/75 (maths - 2),60/60 (chemistry),59/60 (physics),94/100 (Sanskrit),92/100 (english)
I am worried if I’ll even be eligible for merit. Especially due to my 9th
I don’t know how to calculate my GPA, my boards are so different and literally scales are different.
oh my.
Just to confirm no point in waiting RA for these right?
THIS!
