<p>did you all have success in gaining admissions to the schools you applied to? tell us about your experiences in applying and not asking for aid. which schools were you accepted to?</p>
<p>I didnt need aid…applied to Cornell, Brown, Yale, Wharton@Penn and Northwestern. Had good SATs (2180/1450 SAT I, 760/750 SAT IIs) 3.8 UW GPA, good AP scores. Guess what? rejected at all the colleges except northwestern. It ****ed me off really bad…</p>
<p>wow why do you think you got rejected from many of the schools? Also, northwestern is a great school, and I would be extremely happy to attend there, so I bet that although you may have been upset at how they admissions turned out for you atleast a fantastic institution like northwestern felt your application was good enough to gain admission into there school.</p>
<p>I think since I attended international schools with the american system overseas, the colleges expected me to have the credit distributions like local US schools. Many of the schools strongly reccomend or require 4 years of foreign language and I had only 2.</p>
<p>Northwestern was the only school that required only 2 of those credits.</p>
<p>Maybe its that or also that i graduated last year from an international school in Korea (a country where the competition is severe…VERY severe). My app was clubbed with local applicants’ instead of being pooled with norwegians’ (im a norwegian citizen). So im not sure…but definitely something screwed me over.</p>
<p>callthecops, that’s not fair. how are schools in norway?</p>
