<p>Hi! I am an international student wishing to study Creative Writing (which I know I might have to do within an English major). My college counselor strongly suggested me to apply to top Liberal Arts Colleges including Amherst, Dartmouth, Middlebury etc… </p>
<p>I might be able to visit Amherst, Dartmouth & Williams during the summer but I am aware it might not be the best time to have a real sense of what the schools are really like. </p>
<p>I come from a Latin American country but study at an American School where 90% of my classes are taught in English. I have traveled several times to the US in the past, and have even taken summer courses (last year at BU and this year I am going to Colorado College). I have a good record, did quite well on my first SAT, and hope to improve my score in October. I am on the top 10% of my class, I am an Equestrian Athlete, and I am also very much involved in Community Service. </p>
<p>I have no trouble with expressing myself and understanding English, which is why I want to pursue it as a Major, but I have to wonder what these schools are like for International students? Where would I have a better experience (if I were accepted, of course!) ?</p>
<p>Any information worth taking into account?
Any suggestions? Comments? </p>
<p>I would really appreciate your input before applying, because I will only be able to visit two or three schools so I rely on Internet Forums for feedback.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
