First, SAT and TOEFL scores should meet the entrance requirements, and you can also write distinctive, bright and level application materials;
Second, truly reflect the family's economic situation. Don't apply for an American university scholarship because it will affect your successful admission.
Third, if the financial situation of domestic applicants is also affected by the financial crisis, tell the truth and don't pretend to be rich. Despite the financial crisis in the United States, China undergraduate applicants with high SAT scores can apply for more scholarships, not less.
Therefore, when applying for American university scholarships, you must tell the truth and be honest. Ivy League universities will not give up any talented students. As long as you are good enough to meet the admission criteria of Ivy League universities, you can boldly apply for scholarships.
