<p>Definitely apply to Loyola U Chicago–they have a great journalism program and they LOVE international students. Their mission includes the goal of having students from every country in the world. What makes you interested in Northwestern? The student bodies of Loyola U Chicago and Northwestern are polar opposites. Anyway, you’d most probably be accepted at Loyola U Chicago based on your statistics, so definitely apply there (if you use their online application your application fees are waived =) )</p>
<p>I can’t say much about the other schools as I don’t know much about them. But I’d say you would have a decent shot at Boston U. </p>
<p>Thank you! LUC is interesting, nad ever more with that information
I’ve heard(read) a lot of good things about NU and it seems like a great school. And I guess I just have this feeling about it , that it’s the right school for me
And ofcourse thier top of the line journalism school Medill is very appealing to me.</p>
<p>Since I can’t (I could but it would be expensive) visit the school I have to base it on what I read and the “feeling” and so far Northwestern is my first choice :)</p>
<p>Just an FYI, college soccer isn’t really that popular overall in the U.S. If that’s important to you, look up the Big Ten and Atlantic Coast Conferences. Those would be your best bet.</p>
<p>I dont really know a thing about soccer, but unless you’re like incredibly good (play for top teams, on all star teams, highest level, etc.), you’re not going to be able to play at an ACC or Big Ten school. I would imagine if you were that good, you would be recruited, since college soccer has MANY internationals.</p>
<p>It’s hard to know if you have a chance since you haven’t taken the SAT yet.</p>
<p>It can be hard for int’ls to get student loans here. Are you getting your loan from your home country? Are your parents co-signing for them? How much can your family pay? You may need to show ability to pay to get your VISA.</p>
<p>LMU is very reasonably priced for int’l students.</p>
<p>Yes, I can take a loan from the National Board of Student Aid (Sweden). But they limits the loan to about 20 - 28k a year. The amount is slightly higher if the school use quarters and not semesters(don’t ask me why).</p>
<p>University of Minnesota Twinn Cities. They have a good journalism major , 300 or so students major in it. They also have scholarships for people of norwegian, swedish decent from like types that migrated to the area. AND the school for OOS cost 25,000 per year leaving you with plane fare.</p>
<p>So, international students can’t get aid from boston U… only merit scholarship. Would I even be considered for that? Is there any point in applying?</p>
<p>It hard to say what my gpa would be on a 4.0 scale … </p>
<p>we have a 4 grade scale - MVG (pass with special distinction)=20, VG(Pass with distinction)=15, G(Pass)=10, IG(Fail)= 0 and you can also get an -, it’s pretty much fail to and gives a 0. Our transcript doesn’t show + or - (which is a bad thing for me )</p>
<p>do i get this right, you have: A=4 B=3 C=2 D=1 F=0 ? and +/- </p>
<p>If you divided by 5 it’s 3,32/4, but then again it’s not that simple. If feel that it’s atleast a bit better than 3,32</p>
