For context, I rank first on my class but my gpa is 8.5 because of grade deflation in my country. I go to the best high school in the nation and we receive university-level education because it’s for advanced students. I received several awards on the math olympiad, the international tournament of the towns, MUN, and robotics. I know how to code and sent to many universities some of the projects I built. They were usually robots or mathematical concepts transferred to interesting algorithms. I didn’t send my SAT score because of some issues that I had with CB. Also, I’m intl with full-need because my family is extremely poor according to US standards. My essays were really good according to all of the people I used for references and I have 0 doubts that my LORs were excellent. Why is it that I’m getting rejected from EVERYWHERE? I am talking about 30-40% acc schools. I know that many universities aren’t generous with aid, but I thought that they would at least try to help me instead of a straight rejection.
