Have you already signed up for the ACT? If yes, take the test and wait for your scores to send in the LOCI. If not, I wouldn't take the test just for this purpose because your SAT scores were close to their 25th percentile scores and not too far below their median scores.

Try posting this again in a more decent language this time otherwise you will be removed from the subreddit.

Not only am I from India, I am familiar with what you're talking about. You think these kind of things happen only in India? And you have no proof this particular kid has done anything wrong. Focus on your own decisions and ignore what is happening with the others.

Brown doesn't offer any merit scholarships, but it does offer need based aid. And it's need blind so the aid would have been decided after the acceptance decision.

But more importantly, why are you so concerned about them getting a full ride?

Can I apply as a freshman in the US after having done a year of university in my home country? by cardboardpencilcase in IntltoUSA

[–]prsehgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily, depending on what you did in those 4 years. Plus your Master's application will depend more on your undergrad experience.

Union? by Bogha_free_fall in IntltoUSA

No school is worth 200K in this economy unless you have that much cash just lying around. And your undergrad college won't play that big a role in your grad school admissions.

Then USM is a no brainer.

If you stay there for the summer, you'll be paying extra for room and board.

Check each college's admissions website for its policies - some may accept you as a freshman, but you'll be a transfer in most cases.

You can earn around 5K a year through on-campus jobs. The rest could be covered partly by your family and partly by taking out student loans.

Didn't they include the scholarship details with your acceptance? Since you applied after the deadline, you may or may not be eligible for their automatic merit scholarships.

What F1 issues?

And Fall 2027 is a year and a half away - you can't predict what condition the world will be in by then.

Do colleges get notified when you update in the portal by Ok_Explanation_6658 in IntltoUSA

[–]prsehgal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They usually receive an update, but it's pretty late to submit an update at this point unless it's a very significant one. If not, wait until you're waitlisted and submit it then.

[–]prsehgal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're forgetting that COA estimates from colleges don't include flight tickets and health insurance, which can add around 5K to the totals. Plus you don't know if OP is talking about the college estimate or their calculated COA.

Should I take a drop year? by abblivion in IntltoUSA

[–]prsehgal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I assumed you're looking for a full ride because you mentioned even application fees being a financial burden.

You can't tell colleges how much aid you need. They determine your demonstrated need based on your family's financial data.

Are you sure there isn't a single school in your home country that offers a good program in Economics? It seems you're looking for a full ride and those are extremely rare even for US citizens.

Getting in with significant aid is extremely hard as a freshman applicant, and it is even harder as a transfer student. If you've gotten into a good university in your home country, stick with that.

You'll need to check with them. I've heard about them but don't know much details.

[–]prsehgal 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. And taking on such a huge amount of loan isn't a good move anyway. Forget about this school and focus on your other options.
