PLEASE CHANCE ME – MUCH APPRECIATED!!
I am an asian international student, currently in private HS. I come from a low income family, so I can prob afford like 15K/year. I will be doing css for financial aid & merit scholarships (if the school has any). My intended major is Computer Science.
My IB predicted grades are 43/45. My school does not do ranking at all. I am waived for English Proficiency tests, and I’m doing test optional for SAT (my score is 1470 tho).
My IB classes:

  • HL: compsci, psychology, art
  • SL: math, eng langlit, mandarin ab initio I will be graduating w around 30 credits (4 for english, 4 for science, 4 for social studies, 5 for math, 5 for art, 6 for foreign language, 1 for pe).

I was in texas for grades 9&12, my weighted gpa is 4.214. i lived in the states for 4 years (still international student tho).

regarding awards, i have 4 scholastic keys (1 gold, 3 silver) and 3 honorable mentions. I also have an in-school award for community service.

For my ecs, I got student government, a few clubs, teaching english, photography (as a hobby), self-taught web development, school newspaper, and mun. I also had an unpaid internship at a local restaurant. I think my ECs are pretty mid, and i dont have lots of leadership, so i’d rate it 5/10. my biggest concern is the lack of leadership in my ecs tho :frowning:

I would rate my essays for Common App a solid 8/10. My LORs I would say a 8.5-9/10.

PLEASE CHANCE ME FOR:
NYU Abu Dhabi (ED1), Rice University (ED2), Case Western Reserve (EA), Illinois Tech (EA), Stevens Tech (EA), Brandeis Uni (RD), Baylor Uni (RD). I’m also considering some publics, but they dont give a lot of aid, its js merit scholarships: UMASS Amherst (RD), UT Austin (RD), UCLA, UCSD, UCI. I’m still deciding on the public unis, so feel free to comment any suggestions!!!

please also provide any uni suggestions if u have them!!!

I APPRECIATE IT A LOT, PLEASE BE BRUTALLY HONEST THO! I will chance you back too!!!

NYU Abu Dhabi has an incredibly low admit rate -around 4% - so it’s a reach for anyone.

A lot of the publics on your list, including those in California, don’t give aid to out of state students. You should probably start whittling your list down by removing colleges (public and private) that won’t make your funding target. Start by running the NPC on each one, won’t be entirely accurate but you should get an idea. I think all the ones on your list are need aware for internationals.

UCLA, UCSD and UCI do not offer financial aid to OOS or International students so I would remove these schools from the list.
