<p>so lets hear it the craziest admissions story low gpa low sat w/e defines crazy to you and still got accepted (i saw this on another college so i decided lets try it at gtown) btw low gpa is not a 3.9 nor is a low sat 2200</p>
<p>This isn’t very crazy but I was accepted early with an 1860 SAT. Surprised me alright.</p>
<p>Surprising…</p>
<p>I had a 1940…but then again I do have minority status, strong eccs, and a high gpa…</p>
<p>But the 1800s are pretty low, especially for Early Admission.</p>
<p>-Deion S.</p>
<p>1910 SAT… but I’m intl…dunno if that was an advantage or disadvantage</p>
<p>i got a 2000…but my gpa is really high (and at a competitive international school high school, taking the IB diploma too), had strong recs and extra-curriculars and did a lot of community service. snerry, it doesnt matter if ur international if you studied at an american/intl school for most of your high school :P</p>
<p>1950 SAT 1,
Sat 2’s
Math I: 700
Lit : 680
Japanese: 500 :S</p>
<p>had really strong recs though, and high GPA. Essay’s were decent. Im from New Zealand though so thats something different…</p>
<p>did you people with lower SAT’s from international places ask for financial aid?</p>
<p>well im not from the US, but im a greencard holder</p>
<p>so yes i did ask for financial aid.</p>
<p>plus, i just realised my SAT scores were higher</p>
<p>Sat1 -2050</p>
<p>nope, i didnt apply for financial aid.</p>
<p>just curious, do any of u intels know if georgetown gives f-aid to international transfers? been asking the admission office for ages and they just won’t/can’t give me a straight answer-</p>
<p>I got deferred early but accepted regular at SFS with 1930 SATI, but I come from France. My teacher recommendation letters weren’t great but my essays and my college counselor’s recommendation were excellent…
I didn’t ask for financial aid eventhough I could have since I have U.S. citizenship. International students can get financial aid, but the amount they offer is very limited as opposed to what they will give to U.S. students…</p>
<p>yeah i think they only gave out 5 scholarship grants or something this year to international freshmen. Not sure about transfers but i would imagine it would be along the same lines</p>
<p>I’ve always found it difficult to understand how people seem to be able to grade their own essays as “excellent” with nothing to base it on. Oh well.</p>
<p>perhaps they got second opinions?</p>
<p>thanks one2! guess I’ll just have to wait and pray they admit me and give me aid-</p>
<p>1990 SAT</p>
<p>my interviewer was so psyched that i played a blue electric violin and talked an hour with me about my band and music haha. so i sent them a picture of me playing it :-P</p>
<p>LOL I got in with only a 1810 on the SAT…then my extracurricular activities are world class…</p>
<p>did aynone get in below a 2000 thats not a minority?</p>
<p>Anyone with a high SAT, low GPA?</p>
