<p>Do you need fin aid?</p>

3

<p>I dont need financial aid.</p>

4

<p>BU (Boston Uni) looks good in that case…</p>

5

<p>Do you plan on retaking the SAT? Also, what was your performance in high school/grammar school?</p>

<p>I did the british A-levels where I scored in my first year

<p>try to get your SAT scores up. as you are not looking for aid i think you have a decent shot at all the schools on your list. agree with tetris fan BU does look like a good shot for you.</p>

<p>Hey man, I also applied to Carnegie Mellon ed2 to H&SS and will be applying to NYU and Boston University. From what I’ve seen, now I’m not 100% for international, but it seems to me CMU and NYU will be tough to get into with those SATs but BU will be a match. And also do you know when people get their CMU ED II decisions back?</p>

<p>My A Level results are, </p>

<p>E Lit A
Hist B
Music B</p>

<p>I think my A’s are comparative to yours. I hear colleges look at your a level results in lieu of a GPA.</p>

<p>I applied to NYU last year with SAT I scores in about the same range, 700-something SAT IIs and more ECs. Rejected. </p>

<p>Try to get the CR up. I’d honestly only consider applying to those universities if I got my scores up to 680-700.</p>

<p>SInce you are not going to be competing for extremely limited fin aid for international students, you have a good chance of getting into the colleges you mentioned.</p>
