一小留（美高毕业SAT 1550)，最好的offer只是皮刺堡大学，也很不容易

All flat rejections last night. So I am giving you the final count.
Stat: GPA (3.97 un weighted), SAT 1550; SAT subject tests , MATH 2, Chemistry, Physics--> all 800;

AP--> Psychology, Statistics, Chemistry, Calculus BC and computer science Principle--> all 5. Ap Spanish, Ap Physics C Mechanics, electromagnetism (in Senior year). Average ECs (with Varsity Soccer)

Accepted to:
Purdue Engineering (Applied Early action) ; no scholarship
Rochester Institute of Technology (Mechanical Engineering-Aerospace): Founder's Scholarship ($20K per year)
UMN Twin cities (Aerospace engineering) Research scholarship (just $1400)
University of Miami (Aerospace Engineering): President's scholarship ($30K per year)
University of Pittsburgh (Mechanical Engineering) Merit scholarship $2K per year and in-state tuition (most probably!)

Waitlisted: Case Western Reserve, Georgia Tech, Colby College

Rejected: Swarthmore, Wash U, University of Southern California, Lehigh (told they have no more fund for intl. student), Northwestern, Rice, Duke, Upenn, Cornell, Brown, Dartmouth, Princeton

Reflections: (i) EC's are average, you need stellar ECs (ii) Should have applied to easier places (Case western, Lehigh or Colby) in ED1 or ED2 (iii) International students residing in USA and international students applying from outside are treated in the same way by most Universities if they need financial aid. (iv) The Universities never disclose the acceptance rate for international students--If a student is a citizen of China or India and applied for financial aid, the acceptance rate is 1-2%.
