<p>@lookingforward: Most of the colleges I consider applying to say something similar. As long as there’s a chance of getting in, that is a higher chance than getting in Ivy League-level colleges, I might pull it off.</p>
<p>I didn’t take into account other stuff rather than rankings/rates…now I know I should have - good call!</p>
<p>I want to apply to a college through Early Decision, so I’m thinking either Trinity or Connecticut. </p>
<p>Both colleges claim to offer full-need financial aid to international students; they’re test optional for international students; based on the list I compiled, which is posted on the other page, they are the only colleges that meet the 2 aforementioned criteria and have the highest acceptance rates. (I already read a neat comparison of the two colleges here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/trinity-college-connecticut/724344-trinity-vs-conn-help-international.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/trinity-college-connecticut/724344-trinity-vs-conn-help-international.html</a>, and it seems that they’re indeed on par when it comes to pretty much everything.)</p>
