Peanut Butter Jelly Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Your chances are non existant if you are an international applying for financial aid with a 1650 SAT. Sorry.But If you dont apply for aid and get your SAT up to 2200+, you stand a decent chance. And it depends how large a connection you have to admissions officer.

Guest Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Sorry mate, you have no chance...especially with a finical aid requirement. The average IB grade for Stanford is 42 and the average SAT score is 2010–2300 according to Collegeprowler.com You need to be realistic about colleges and really need to raise your score if you want to pursue a good US college education.

Chris Kuno Posted November 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Could I still possibly get a baseball scholarship/admitted to play baseball? (The extra curricular do not matter in this case) just the grades and the SAT. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Well you can apply for a Athletic scholarship in that case but even then you need at least a 1900+ SAT score and a 36+ IB score.Email their admission office for more information.

ShootingStars Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Actually, Stanford is need-blind so applying for financial aid puts you at no disadvantage whatsoever, contrary to what previous posters said. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut Butter Jelly Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 he is canadian... Stanford is only need-blind for Americans. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procrastination Posted December 25, 2011 Report Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) In the US, only eight colleges and universities extend need-blind admission to international applicants. That’s less than 1% of America’s higher education institutions, but these eight are also among America’s most elite:Harvard UniversityPrinceton UniversityYale UniversityDartmouth CollegeMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyAmherst CollegeMiddlebury CollegeWilliams CollegeThe correlation is not accidental.Need-blind admission is possible only when an institution is well-funded enough to support it. Stanford is not one of them as you may have noticed. They're only need-blind for Americans, unfortunately Edited December 25, 2011 by Procrastination Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
