Can someone tell me where I should apply for?

College Search & Selection

<p>Hello Everyone,</p>

<p>I am from India and,like any one of you in this forum,preparing for the SAT-I, II,TOEFL and any exam that comes in my way.Well,regarding myself, I have had quite a good academic record, with a GPA of 3.5 + right since from grade 1 to grade 8. In grades 9 and 10, I got a perfect 4.0 GPA,with 4.0 even in the co-scholastic areas.But, unfortunately, in my grade 11, due to personal circumstances, I couldn't write one of the finals and ended up with a 3.0, and now, till now I am a 4.0 back again.And in addition to the GPA stuff, I was runner up in the All India National Aerolympics (formerly The Indian National Aerospace Olympiad) in my 11th grade, have won a lot of quizzes even at the state-level, attended camps by the most prestigious Engineering Institutes in the country, and have been headboy,house captain, and also am a part of like 3 clubs.Why, I have even participated in original- water rocket developing competitions held by the Indian Space Research Organization and also, World Space Week events. I am fluent in six languages, and have worked and made donations with and to NGOs. I intend to pursue an Engineering program in the United States, preferably the top colleges that are need-blind or even colleges generous on aid when it comes to Internationals.The obstacle in my path, unfortunately, is money. I need aid. I need aid if I gotta go to the US.And it's my childhood dream. So could anyone of you just give me insights on which colleges I apply for? Universities also counted, and colleges that I have a good chance to get in, if I have a SAT score of 2320+ ?</p>

<p>Best,</p>

<p>le me :)</p>

<p>There are only 6 universities that are need blind and meet full need for internationals. Needless to say, they are very competitive. They are not particularly known as top engineering but some are good/good enough, one doesn’t have any engineering. Other universities may give some aid, but I don’t know if it will be enough. How much did you family expect to contribute? Unfortunately 11th grade is a very important year for admissions. I suppose this will be explained in your counselor letter but still…</p>

<p>The first criterion will be, alas, how much your family can contribute.
Can you tell us what your parents’ budget is?</p>

<p>With these stats, you’re an automatic admit to UAlabama’s Honors College, with Honors Dorm, Honors Scholarship for full tuition (+$2,500 if you apply to Engineering or CS), possibility to compete for further selective programs.
