Hello, I’m now a senior and currently worried about being rejected ;-(
The thing is that I’m a Asian living in Seoul and needs a full aid or else I can’t afford it.
I heard SJC’s financial aid for international students is limited and I’m afraid that I’m not going to get any.

My family earns more than 85000 and has more than 3 property. However my parents say that they aren’t going to help, so I need to pay the whole tuition by myself.
So… I been thinking whether I can get a full-ride with my situation…

Questions!

First of all, my sat scores are 1690 in total (math 590, reading 540) and 560 in literature
and my GPA sucks however got in top 10%, and got several excellence awards in korean literature, english, Korean History.
*My TOEFL score is 95.

Also I’ve got 8 poetry awards, worked as a reporter for 2 months,
attended human rights seminar for 2 years and been awarded 2 times for group presentations, took part in Red Cross Youth for 3 years and been awarded.
Moreover I am a member of Amnesty International and is taking part in Urgent Action.
Plus I’ve attended Hanyang University for Creative writing, and got 3 credits.

Is my GPA or SAT enough for SJC?

And is my situation enough to get a full ride? If not, could you recommend me one?

My first choice is SJC and I really want to go =)
However my situation doesn’t help me.
I really need some good advice !
