<p>Come on!
I live in Georgia. Former soviet union country nobody cares about.
Only one student from entire country got accepted to Colby in recent 5 or 6 years…
I’m not talking that they don’t give aid and they haven’t given full aid to bright students but thing is if he didn’t need aid, he’d be accepted automatically not deferred(talking about Konspace)
it’s a wealthy privilege
American Colleges are not that poor, they have huge endowment and loads of local freshman pay it full.
I got rejected from Smith. I was and I am absolutely Smith material. I’m liberal, feminist, free spirit who wants to major in the field which is Smith’s particular strength + Smith hasn’t accepted Georgian in ages. I called the dean of admissions and sincerely asked the reason of rejection and she honestly answered that there are limited funds for international students and if i could pay i would probably be accepted.</p>
<p>IS THAT NEED BLIND POLICY?
IS THAT WE GIVE AVERAGE $42K TO INTERNATIONALS?
That’s a lie. They do care about money most of all
and of course there are some accepted but probably one out of ten brilliant students.</p>
<p>They have nearly a BILLION BUCKS endowment each year. </p>
<p>I’m not talking about only him and me
but all the guys here in Georgia whose native language is GEORGIAN and RUSSIAN and
English is like second language to us and we still score average and high on SATs
and we still take SAT subjects despite they are not a requirement
and all of us scores 105-115 range on TOEFL
and we have great GPAs and we really deserve American education</p>
<p>thing is
not even the richest here could afford the half of the tuition
cause the cost of only room and board is what my dad makes yearlong</p>
<p>Boom</p>
