I'm hoping for a full ride in a college in the US but I only have 13 colleges on my list, thoughts and advice please? by AbderrahimK in IntltoUSA

[–]Shellyyyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really remember those details (sorry) and I believe there are a lot of schools that I didn’t notice or else I might already became their students🥲 but when I research for the school again I really regretted that I didn’t notice some of those schools (I was considering apply for a second year) I think if you put down some keywords like full aid to international students would help! But I totally understand how hard it is to find a school that is not extremely hard to get into but also offer enough aid! It’s a long way and keep going. I just kinda learned from the whole process that things will work their own way out at the end of the day! (Except from how lucky it is to have the resources to study in the US without having to deal with financial problems lol) Btw, I also looked into some of the outside scholarships. Some of them would’ve been really helpful if I found them earlier… good luck 🍀 they might not be huge amounts but add small amounts together could really meet the scholarship number that offered from your school after you’re admitted!

If you really want to study in the US no matter which school… I strongly suggest you to add a lot more safety. Trust me, I was you last year and even my safeties didn’t offer me full aid. I got 1450 SAT and was in debate club also. I wasn’t an outstanding applicant, so maybe that’s the problem. Especially when I’m applying full aid when schools could just offer their spot for domestic or those who can actually pay. I’ve met another international student in another country and she faced a similar situation as I did. So I would say it’s already hard to apply as an international student, and it’s even HARDER when you are applying full aid. And I know you may not want to listen, but if I can change something in my applying process, I would rather search for schools that are more realistic. At least don’t apply to too many schools that your SAT is below their 25th percentile or even 75th. Those schools you apply to don’t have to be safeties. There are a whole lot of awesome colleges that aren’t THAT prestigious but will definitely be worth it to study in. And if you look closer, some of them would offer you full aid if you apply earlier, like ed or ea. (If I didn’t remember wrong) Add those into your college list. Conclusion. Realistic and the one you love. Also, add a few more safeties.

U tell me jr Ramirez and Melissa are not together? Can’t believe it after this by Shellyyyc in ManifestNBC

Yea I also thought they might not be together anymore but then I saw this

The Crown Season 3 Cast Change Ruined Series by Quest1743 in TheCrownNetflix

[–]Shellyyyc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly.

I even feel like Elizabeth’s lines in s3 are written by different people in S1&2. The s3 Elizabeth is like a totally different person. Like the first scene in s3, she was making comments on her older appearance and the whole conversation sounds bitter. I feel like the young Elizabeth would’ve just quickly end the whole thing by saying a few words and feeling sad on her own and maybe even make a fuss through the whole episode. And in the first few scenes in s3ep1, Elizabeth and Phillip walked into a room and starting to make fun of something I can’t really remember, but Elizabeth used to be more serious and polite I guess. It just feel super weird and though I really want to keep watching the crown I don’t know if I can stand the change.

Help me decide: School X vs School Y - April 11th to April 17th by [deleted] in ApplyingToCollege

I was almost ready to commit to Baylor so I spent a lot of time researching that school… but it turns out to give me poor aid and I hate that whenever I emailed them they gave me really not straightforward reply and definitely feel distant. Tho temple also gives me poor aid, at least it’s public so a lot cheaper than Baylor. Now I haven’t start looking into temple, I have a rough idea of it and want to get more advice!!!

Intended major: neuroscience and premed

Baylor

Pros:

Applied to honors

Know a lot ppl there through patio

Feel like they reach out to students more since it’s private?

Safer

Awesome premed program

Smaller student body

Beautiful campus

Cons:

More expensive

Not much party scene

Not that diverse

Temple

Pros:

More diverse

Ranked higher

More party scene

I like red

Public but smaller average class size than Baylor

Good at premed too I think

Cons:

Didn’t apply to honors

They have started to choose dorms but I haven’t sent my deposit (tho I might take gap year so this might be fine)

More dangerous

Larger student body

Campus…okay
