<p>"Importance of cost: Extremely important"</p>

<p>You are an international candidate. You need significant financial aid. There is no such thing as a safety school for you in the US. Every school is a reach in your situation.</p>

<p>Sorry. But that is the plain and simple truth.</p>

<p>If you want to apply to schools in the US, that is fine, but be sure to have a back-up plan in your home country or in another country whose universities are affordable for you.</p>

<p>Good luck.</p>

<p>In that case,how do my ec's rate?
how much do i stand a chance?</p>

<p>You are incredibly qualified academically and your ECs demonstrate that you've assumed a lot of leadership positions that will work in your favor. But what kind of school are you looking for? A small liberal arts school, a large university? Suburban, rural, or urban? There are a lot of great schools in the US, but you haven't said what you're looking for in your undergraduate education.</p>

5

<p>what do you plan majoring in? If anything science, math, or engineering related your EC's are great. </p>

<p>What schools are you looking at? </p>

<p>I would recommend McGill (I know it's not in the U.S. but some of the Canadian schools are known to give pretty good financial aid).</p>

<p>thanks all for your replies
i want to major in physics(science) and any size of university would be preferable</p>

7

<p>So few school are "safe" nowadays, but maybe WPI, RPI, and Clarkson U.</p>

8

<p>your second in your class with a 93 unweighted and 92 weighted...first of all that makes no sense and secondly, how can u b 2nd with either of those</p>
