I am so motivated to study in the US but I will need financial aid. Therefore, I wanna ask if it is actually possible for me to get lots of aid as an international student. I asked the financial office(George) whether or not my aid can exceed 50% of the tuition but they replied telling me that they are pretty firm about not exceeding 50% of the tuition when it comes up to international students unless it is a very ‘special case’.
So first, I would love to know what the special cases are. Secondly, I have a B for art and C for PE, will this negatively affect my application? Also, my school imposed a narrative evaluating system for seventh graders but I have my report cards for eighth and ninth grade. (+ only first semester of ninth grade has ended though)Additionally, my math classes are ‘math’ instead of algebra, calculus, or etc. Plus, all those schools have a test-optional policy thus, I’m not planning on taking either the SSAT or the ISEE. When it comes up to ECs, I didn’t join any varsity or JV teams. However, I am in my school’s math club I am currently the vice president of my class, joined a badminton club in seventh grade(not anymore), and have been volunteering since 8th grade. Plus, I have experience studying abroad in China for about 5 years so, I passed the HSK5. Are there any chances for me to get into the schools I am applying to with lots of aid? (a lot as in a lot),Plus, can covid possibly lower my chances of being accepted? Thank you so very much.
What passport do you hold? I do help student get Financial aid, but it's not very easy. Also, are you going to be a boarder or day student? I need to know more information about you to help you to apply for FA.
簡單而言,如果是國際學(xué)生,那么拿到financial Aid 的可能性極低,除非你特別優(yōu)秀,但是從你的描述來看, 有C 和 B,無論是哪門功課,這對(duì)于好學(xué)校來說,都是申請(qǐng)的硬傷,其次,你不想考SSAT和ISEE,即使今年是 test optional 的,你的成績又沒有非常亮眼,如何突出你學(xué)術(shù)方面的優(yōu)秀呢?
1. I would advise you to choose a school with a large endowment in order to qualify for financial aid. Without a large endowment, no school will consider you. There are many websites out there that allow you to collect endowment data, including boardingschool.com. 50% is a huge amount.
2. Typically, American students with the following situation would be considered the special case: you are unable to provide information about your parents, you are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and you are seeking only unsubsidized loans.
3. The PE score will greatly reduce your chances unless you can prove you have some physical disability.
4. As long as you don't want to prove how much you will be willing to put in such as ISEE AND SSAT, you are already ousted from the financial aid process.
5. In addition to the possibility of receiving financial aid, Covid does not influence the chances of being accepted.
