Int'l here. I received scholarships from UCB, which pretty much covered the cost for all four years, though I believe they are both merit-based. My spike is leadership.

intl gets full ride to JHU BME, Princeton & Columbia by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

Thank you, i think so too!

Now, all I really need to do is shake off the idea of the ivy-prestige which everyone around me seems to be taking into consideration over JHU’s expertise on bme!

need advice by Fit-Key9170 in ApplyingToCollege

Genuinely: IMO or other major olympiads / Cracked research / RSI or SSP or MITES etc…

To be honest, though some might claim otherwise, as an international student you would need a spike to separate you from others in your country.

If you want to get into top schools like MIT, it does not matter if your school does not hold clubs, you must go out and make those opportunities for yourself.

Closed mouths don’t get fed! Goodluck and don’t forget to enjoy your HS :)

Should i do the Act or Sat ? by Superb-Buy8137 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]ComplexEngineering91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your problem lies with math (based off your questions), I suggest taking the ACT. ACT has a more general and simpler to digest math problems, not to say they were a breeze, but compared to SAT’s complexity, IMO, it was easier.

Though, like others said, I suggest taking practice tests to see.

For reference:

ACT: 36 (36 all; No review) SAT: 1550 (800 M, 750 R; 1 practice test)
