NEED HELP WITH COLLEGE CHOICES

[Wellwisher]

Please rank those college from the most generous to the most stingy:

Bucknell U, Cornell U, Lehigh U, Georgetown U, U Notre Dame, Vanderbilt U , U Chicago, Johns Hopkins University, Emory University

Thanks in advance!

[cyclops]

I don't know about other schools but Bucknell U is really generous to Vietnamese students.

[hlvietlong]

Eliminate Cornell U Georgetown is quite OK

[megagear65]

Cornell-automatic elimination, this also applies to Notre Dame. Emory doesn;t grant full

[lehathu]

Bucknell isn't generous at all. To qualify for admission, your family have to contribute at least 12K per year.

[testdasi]

Not sure about Chicago but it seems that you list all stingy schools. And you seem to forget LAC's.

[Wellwisher]

Thế còn Georgetown thì sao?
Em nghe nói nó có need-blind nhưng cũng nghe vài người nói nó đôi khi nhận mình nhưng không cho financial aids.
Trên VA mình có ai được nhận vào Georgetown với financial aids không trả lời hộ em?

[UKtoUSA]

Vanderbilt, students there wear black coats and fancy kaki pants to go watch football games.

That's what they said on their website but I know a Vietnamese who got into Bucknell with no family contribution and $2k "tiêu vặt"

[testdasi]

There are only 6 schools need-blind to international students: Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Williams, Middlebury and MIT. Stanford may be need-blind soon (or already need-blind). The rest of the schools may say need-blind on their websites but if you ask the correct person (from the admission office), you will know that need-blind policy is not extended to international students.

I guess because he has already known that most LACs are very generous, he just asked 'bout National Uni.
Btw, please give me more info 'bout these LACs (at which very few VNese are studying, as far as i'm concerned): financial aid, chances (to be admitted) for intel....
I did some researches on the Internet but still am very confused.
Skidmore, Kenyon, Gettysburg,Grinnell, Trinity College.
Thanks a lot!

Gettysburg: you can ask Mr. Plum on VA. as far as I know, this year getty accpets no student from VIetnam

[UKtoUSA]

Skidmore is not generous at all. I got into this school before. Otherewise, it is well known for music and theater department only.

[hlvietlong]

Skidmore, Kenyon, Trincoll: no Vnmese admitted this year

[cyclops]

Gettysburg: The supplemental essay is kind of difficult to write. This year, I only submitted the common app but they waitlisted me although I did not submit transcript, LoR,...
Bucknell: accept about 36 International students each year, 8 of whom with full ride. For others, &#036;35,000 is maximum.

Duh, you expect Bucknellians to slander their own school?

anh Nam: are you the guy at the Bucknell booth in the college fair?

lynh: you&#39;re such a pain in the ***

[kryptonian]

Có anh chị nào trên đây học ở LAC ở California không ạ ?

[Văn Hồng Oanh]

Have you ever heard of The Vasar College? Do you have any information about this school ( about its reputation, VNese there and more important, its generosity )? If yes, please share it to me. Thanks in advance.

[quynhchi]

Vietnamese students seem to "chiếm đóng" most genorous schools and avoid schools that don&#39;t like Vietnamese students. So I see that many students go into a same college. That&#39;s why I&#39;m afraid those colleges will not take in more Vietnamese. At the same time, some not very popular colleges don&#39;t offer full need. So how to find out a college that both still has interest on Vietnamese students and generous?

[hlvietlong]

@kryptonian: Well Cali is famous for its UC system but there are not so many LACs there. I know sis Bao Thu is enrolling in Claremont McKenna Univ (Cali). Unfortunately it&#39;s really hard to get in and it requires many essays. Sis Bao Thu graduated from Suffield Academy, which is an elite high school in the US.
@Oanh: Vassar College is a tough school (I got rejected). There is only 1 Vnmese student there: sis Duong (who graduated from a Singapore high school). Vassar College is famous and quite generous(sis Duong said the min contribution should be 4K/year)

[hlvietlong]

@quynhchi: You&#39;ll have to try. About your prob, Lafayette this year admits 4 students but only 3 enroll, the same to other colleges. So there is no reason for them not to accept Vnmese students next year. Besides, Vnmese, Chinese, UK...students are all categorized as international students

[paya]

CA toàn mấy LAC keo chết đi được ạh T___T.

[kryptonian]

Thế còn Pepperdine University của CA có rộng rãi và ưa chuộng học sinh VN không ạ ? Ngoài ra, còn trường University of Southern California thì thế nào ạ? Những trường như UCLA đâu có offer aid gì cho international students phải ko ạ ?

[hlvietlong]

Khổ, ngoài Claremont McKenna ra trường nào cũng keo thôi
