Lib Arts College Chance?
Asked by JennyI know there are many factors in an admission and you can never really predict for sure, but what are my relative chances of getting into colleges like Macalester and Colby (considering I'll need a full financial aid package and I'm an international student) with stats like: SAT: 2040 (CR 680, Math 670, W 690, but I'll retake it in the fall) SAT II Bio M 770 (will take Spanish and possibly Chem) GPA: 4.00 (for all years of high school so far) ECs: Model UN, sci club, advanced bio group (vice president and for certain president next year),choir, library volunteering, PR Office assistant in the organization of various events at my school; I also have work experience as a babysitter for a year. Any insight would be helpful :)

You would certainly be considered for admission at one of the better liberal arts colleges like Colby or Macalster, especially if your SAT scores in the autumn are somewhat higher. If I were you I would cast a slightly wider net and apply to more colleges, one or two at a slightly higher level and one or two in the notch below on the rankings lists. That would almost insure admission to a good liberal arts school. Financial aid is an entirely different matter and one about which I do not know enough to commenton your prospects at any specific school. You say you are an international student? Are you completing high school in the US/ Do you have a visa that will allow you to stay and complete college?
