I think you have a pretty good shot. Not sure if they are tougher on international students though. Hope you get in!

Assuming that you are out of state in California, you would almost certainly be full pay at UCLA and UC Berkeley.

I think that your chances are pretty good at BU, but it is definitely not a safety because you are international. I do not know Emory at all. My guess is that the rest are all reaches, but most are probably reasonable reaches.

I have no idea how your in-state public university feels about H-4 visa students. I have many friends in this situation, but we never discussed this and my understanding is that this varies from state to state.

I might add: Getting admitted does not mean that the school will be affordable. I am not familiar with which of these schools meet full need for international students, but even for those that do their understanding of full need and your understanding of full need might not be the same.

You definitely have a shot, the issue is financial aid. “I don’t need much financial aid” doesn’t help us since these universities are need aware, or need blind/no aid (UCs).
What’s your budget?
