Maurice Ravel Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Hello!Today, two people with 45 predicted scores at our school didn't get into Harvard. I was so sad for them. One other person got in though and he is a complete retard (lower score and SAT score + snobby behaviour + presidencies of random clubs that he didn't even deserve because he missed all the meetings and sh*t)....sooooo...I am happy for the guy. He's still smart with anybody's standards, but it seems like American universities pick international students at random. Or otherwise, they're too picky with specifics.I might have a chance of living with an uncle or an aunt in the US for my entire senior year in some Washington IB school IF that really affects the odds.Do you think it would make any difference? I feel like the low percentage of international admissions coupled with the huge number of applications from outside are living a bad taste in my mouth... Thanks!I'm Canadian by the way.

Ongfufu Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 No one knows. Do your best at achieving high marks. Then if you don't get into Ivy Leagues, at least you know you've tried your best. Btw, there are some very good schools in Canada as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't come here if you're not up for billions of group projects though. Health sci is all about peer collaboration and learning from each other.

moneyfaery Posted April 3, 2009 Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 You are nothing but a heap of envy, jealousy, nativity, and animosity. Better improve your attitude from now until next year or no university will want you, especially for competitive programs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bescherelle Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) kay everyone should chill out and answer the guy's question. Maurice Ravel, find out if your grade 9/10/11 grades from Canada or w/e will be included in ur GPA if you do decide to go to an american high school next yr. or if u start clean? lol i doubt u do but yeah find that out.if u dont start clean, and u dont have the best grades then idk, i think i'd stay here. if u have pretty good grades then u should consider it. but again, its gonna be a lot of $$$ + ur moving away from ur family and stuff and just think twice about those things as well. hope this helped. p.s what are u plannin on goin into?
