<p>I think people are missing the point here, and I promise you I don’t want to be mean or dishearten you, but there is something wrong with your application profile. I checked the kind of colleges you got rejected from, and they’re not the “super reaches” or whatever else people use to refer to the colleges where you can’t predict your chances of getting in. Essentially, you can’t predict your chances for any college, but to be rejected by EVERY college is a little hard. You have to figure out where you went wrong-maybe it’s the essays or the recommendations or even your scores, but for you to have a shot at even more “competitive” colleges this year, you’ll have to change your profile quite a bit. Reed’s acceptance rate for international applicants needing Financial Aid looms around 10%, and most of the colleges you’re looking at this year are similarly competitive too, so you need to re-assess your entire profile and whether it fits the colleges you’re applying to.</p>
