<p>need financial aid</p>

<p>what are my chances of getting into an ivy</p>

[vesselina]

<p>It is obvious to me that you stand a great chance at any college you decide to apply to.</p>

[hello]

<p>where are u applying??</p>

[ritz]

<p>I am applying EA to harvard
will also be applying to u penn, mit, yale, boston univ, Univ of chicago, nyu, brown, tuft, duke</p>

[astrix]

<p>Yeah, you have great chances anywhere. But you might want to reconsider NYU coz I don't think NYU gives aid to internationals. And you aren't applying to Stanford?? I would think the EPGY thing would help a lot.</p>

[hello]

<p>Astrix, ur wrong about the EPGY, anyone with a SAT math>700 gets invited for EPGY, plus ritz didnt attend.</p>

<p>And Ritz was Ishan Behoora from your school?? and you definitely have a great shot at all the schools you've listed.</p>

<p>Whats ur intended major??</p>

[ritz]

<p>I plan to major in eco or business... am not too sure about nyu
No I dont think that there is an ishan b in my school
actually there are 22 sections so its not really possible to know everyone
astrix which school are you in</p>

[ritz]

<p>does dartmouth give financial aid to international students and how is it for eco.</p>

[astrix]

<p>Dartmouth takes into account how much you can pay but says it meets full financial need.</p>

<p>So like... wow... you're ranked first at rkp? I think that would pretty much clinch the deal at a lot of places</p>

[ritz]

<p>the only problem is that dps rkp does'nt officially rank its students so all i get is top 1% which is written on every other person's counselor reco.</p>

[hello]

<p>top 1% of 800, is still top class</p>

[CC_Admin]

<p>awsome to get such a high SAT (ritz). i think u stand a VERY good chance at any of the unis. Harvard's a little odd school - iv seen some 1600 ptrs with great recs and ECs + awards being denied early decision. itscrazy. sometimes i wonder if they draw the candidates out of hat or what...</p>

<p>Upenn is easy i think. how abt CMU? or Gatech?</p>

[ritz]

<p>CMU does'nt offer financial aid, as far as i know, to intl students.
Will find out about gatech... thanks.
you're right about harvard... I'm not expecting much as far as harvard goes.</p>

[CC_Admin]

<p>gatechs a great school....ul easily get in esp with such great scores in SAT.</p>

<p>I think MIT is very likely if you want. They want ppl with high SATs and good ecs, and are more than willing to support internationals. Give it a shot, im pretty certain the answer will be positive.</p>

[CC_Admin]

<p>u studying at DPS?</p>

[ritz]

<p>yes... in dps rkp</p>

[CC_Admin]

<p>big school eh? my gf here in korea is from dps...she said its real big</p>

<p>Hi Ritz,
Could you help me with Verbal part of the SAT? How did you prepare? are there any good vocabulary lists etc? Could you reply immediately since I am taking SAT in November.

<p>Shubham, Princeton review books are pretty good... Just practise a lot of tests, as far as the vocab goes I went for these classes where they gave us a list of around 1500 words although I'm not sure about how much the list actually helped.I think that solving previous papers is the best approach. Best of luck</p>
