Financial Aid (from Nepal)

Paying for College
1

<p>Hi, I am from Nepal. I have a SAT score of 1810 with CR 510 And Maths 740. I have 2330 in SAT 2 ( maths II 800, Chemistry 800 and Physics 730). My toefl ibt score is 88. I have participated in many quiz bowls and secured top three position. I have 75.2% in my +2 exam and 81.63% in SLC. Can anybody recommend me Liberal Arts Colleges or mechanical engineering colleges where I can get financial aid? I will be thankful to you guys!</p>

<p>Most LACs don’t have engineering programs (although some have agreements with other colleges), are they really what you want??</p>

<p>You don’t add sat II scores. </p>

<p>Your sat is likely too low to get accepted to the schools that give good aid to intls. Your 1810 would have to be at about 350 points higher for a decent chance. </p>

<p>How much can your family pay.</p>

<p>entomom…I will be happy if that is either LAC or Engineering college…Getting in either of them will be okay.</p>

5

<p>mom2collegekids…Well i heard Middlebury will accept either SAT or SAT II…Is that true???</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Middlebury is one of the schools that is SAT optional and will take SAT II scores instead…see above from their site.</p>

<p>OP…you might want to look at the SAT optional schools as you apply.</p>

7

<p>Does Middlebury have engineering?</p>

<p>^See post #4, OP says either/or LAC/engineering. I know, doesn’t make much sense to me either.</p>

<p>If you haven’t already done so, you need to read through everything (and I do indeed mean everything) at [EducationUSA</a> | Study Abroad, Student Visa, University Fairs, College Applications and Study in the U.S. / America](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/) Then you need to make an appointment with the counselors at the advising center in Kathmandu [EducationUSA</a> - Center Profile - USEF-Nepal/Fulbright Commission](<a href=“http://www.educationusa.info/Kathmandu]EducationUSA”>http://www.educationusa.info/Kathmandu) Those counselors are expert at helping students from your country find good places to study in the US. They will be able to tell you which colleges and universities here have admitted students like you in recent years, and whether or not those students received financial aid.</p>

<p>You also should read through the International Students Forum here. There even is a sub-forum there for students from your country!

<p>mom2collegekids…and…entomom…i want engineering college in first choice but even if i studied liberal arts in undergrad, i can study engineering in grad school…i mean to tell so…</p>

<p>I have taken counselling at USEF-Nepal and they have told me to utilize my sat ii score.
I am in dilemma to apply to colleges. Can you say what’s my chance at jacobs or lafayette???</p>

<p>Good chance at Jacobs.
My brother had a 2150 SAT I, and got into Lafayette RD.
So that SAT I score will get you a rejection from Lafayette.
You could try Trinity, but that SAT score…</p>
