<p>Thanks!
Preferably schools with EA…</p>

<p>Well you have a good profile, but it’s not as much where you CAN get in as much as where you would WANT to get in.</p>

3

<p>I’d want to get in the top schools (ivies, etc). But I know those are reaches and you never know what will happen…so I was wondering which universities do I have a high chance of getting in AND can get aid…(matches?)</p>

4

<p>You won’t get into Ivy’s unless you get 2250+ SATs, so I would aim lower.</p>

<p>What is your overall uw GPA?</p>

5

<p>@Analgin, that is not necessarily true.</p>

6

<p>I still have time to study for the SAT so I am hoping for a better score…My marks has been going up since gr9 (87) to gr 11 (94)…It is because in grade 9 I was still struggling with learning English so that explains the trend…</p>

<p>highachiever793- you’re right if there were some hooks. With OP being international and no hooks, I can only see him getting in with high scores.</p>

<p>There are many universities you can try to get into that would give you signigicant aid (merit scholarships). What is your intended major?</p>

8

<p>I’m intending on studying business or economics if there is no business program. I thought merit scholarships are only rewarded to Americans?</p>

<p>SAT scores of international students from my school who’ve gotten into Ivy League schools (courtesy of Naviance):</p>

<p>Brown: 1940, 2140, 2150</p>

<p>Columbia: 2120, 2220</p>

<p>Cornell: 2150, 2140</p>

<p>Dartmouth: 1940, 2250, 2270, 2270</p>

<p>Princeton: 2140, 2290</p>

<p>UPenn: 1940, 2210, 2250</p>

<p>Yale: 2100, 2250</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>So much for this theory…</p>

11

<p>Wow^ That’s a lot of people!
No Harvard? lol</p>

12

<p>We haven’t had a person accepted to Harvard since the early noughties, and we only started using Naviance a couple of years ago. But yeah, it’s a grievance…</p>

13

<p>If you’re interested in econ and business I would reccomend Emory for you. It is very strong in both departments</p>

14

<p>Thanks! MattLeinartFan, does Emory meet 100% need?</p>

<p>^What about for canadian permanent res? I heard Upenn is need-blind for Canadian PRs. By the way, schools with no/little greek life would be preferred…</p>

18

<p>If you’re looking for a good business degree / foundation for going to business school, you should check out UC Berkeley’s business school (Haas). In terms of its ranking, it’s right up there with Wharton and Sloan.</p>

<p>

Yes to UPenn and Canadian applicants. </p>

<p>^ UCB will not offer FA to a Canadian applicant.</p>

<p>Will applying ED or EA help with need-aware schools?</p>
