As an International with no SAT and seeking 100% financial aid,do I hace any chances of being accepted in an IVY?
Side note: I have been rejected from all unis like Carleton,wesleyan, rice,northwestern and Waitlisted at Hamilton and Washington and Lee.
Many Ivys are need blind and test option thanks to covid so you are still in the running. When applying to one, look at as entering the lottery. You place your ticket because you believe that with chance and fate, you will get in. But then you also have to be realistic and think tys, 57000 other people are playing the same game as you are. In the end, if you match what the schools are looking for you will get in.
I am an international with 11 rejections and 1 WL also needing full aid. So I get your concern however, you shouldn’t be.
The fact that you applied is an achievement alone.
You got this !
Your chances of admission anywhere depend on the depth of your preparation and achievement in relation to the expectations of schools of interest. You might be the one in the best position to determine this. However, you may want to consider that some of the Ivies are even more selective than some of the colleges to which you have not been admitted. Nonetheless, your waitlist offers at highly selective colleges may indicate that you will have a realistic chance at other highly selective schools going forward. Best of luck.
Of the Ivies, only H, Y and P are need blind for international students. All Ivies are high reaches for international applicants, and needing a full ride makes the odds even longer at the ones that are need aware.
Do you have any affordable college acceptances in your home country, or elsewhere?
