<p>Im a International student and have a list of around 14 university´s that im willing to apply, but it will take too much time writing essays and quite expensive paying for 14 admissions.
So I have to take away at leat 6 of them, but i also need some colleges that i know, i will be accepted.</p>

<p>Here´s the list in order of importance (for me)
-ps- I have average grades and 26 ACT. </p>

<p>1.University of Maryland–College Park
2.Texas A&M University–College Station
3.Ohio State University–Columbus
4.University of South Carolina (Columbus)
5. University of Florida (Gainsville)
6.Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey
7.University of Washington (Seattle)
8.University of Georgia (Athens)
9.North Carolina State University–Raleigh
10.California Polytechnic State University–San Luis Obispo
11.Florida State University (Tallahassee)
12. San Diego State University
13.University of South Florida (tampa)</p>

<p>**Since I dont live in USA can someone tell me something I should know about 1 of these universities…</p>

<p>What do you mean by average grades? And what do you want to study?</p>

3

<p>Are you applying as a full-pay student? That will help.</p>

4

<p>I have a 3.0 GPA and i want to study finance ** all of them have finance (B.S) or finance (B.B.A) and im applying as a full-pay student.</p>

<p>I would not prune the list.</p>

<p>I would try and apply to all of them, since acceptance at many of these schools is very iffy, and the more good schools you apply to, the better chance of you getting into one of them.</p>

<p>Better to write a quick essay and apply, then not to apply at all. If you don’t apply at all, you have self rejected yourself.</p>

<p>University of Washington has become quite competitive due to huge applicant numbers and big budget cuts. I think if you have a 3.0 UW GPA and an ACT of 26 this would be one you may want to cut.</p>

<p>I know many, many 3.5 and above students with ACT/SAT scores much higher who were not accepted. It was a tough year for UW applicants. I suspect this coming year to be similar.</p>

<p>Re: University of Washington</p>

<p>I saw some article in the newspaper last year about a lot of top in-state students being rejected, and being very perplexed and angry about it. So you are right about that.</p>

<p>However, perhaps full pay international students have an easier time of it? Because the state needs the money ?</p>

<p>Floridadad55- yes you are right the university needs funds. However like all uni’s that accept federal and state tax dollars it can only admit a certain percentage of out of state higher pay students. I believe, and I could be wrong here, that the average SAT-GPA numbers for out of state students were on par and higher than in-state students.</p>

<p>Maryland would be a pretty big reach - I would suggest to eliminate it.</p>
