Chance me at top lacs (international student)

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

I’m an international student from Asia and studied in us for 10 years. Recently, I became depressed to hear that colleges are very selective in giving international students financial aid. To make matter worse, I can only pay 10k to 15k for college.
Here are my stats:
GPA 4.0
Sat 2150-2170
Sat chemistry and math II 780-800 going to take biology and physics two weeks from now predicted score 780-800
Varsity cross country 3years district champions for 3 years qualified and ran in state all 3years
Varsity track one year
Honor society tutoring 4 years
Piano 7 years, won $1000scholarship
Summer job private tutor
I don’t have a spectacular ecs unfortunately…
Please chance me for these schools and they are all need aware for international students

Brandeis
Lafayette
Colgate
Davidson
Vassar
Macalaster
Swarthmore
Hamilton
University of Richmond
Williams
Whitman
Middlebury
Colby
Amherst
Washingtonian and lee

At Some of these schools, my sat scores are way higher than their 75th percentile, but was wondering if the need aware policy will affect me that much. Also, what is a good school to apply ed?

The good news would be that some of your choices promise to meet the full demonstrated financial need for all their students, irrespective of origin. As an international applicant with modest ECs, however, your chances of acceptance may not be very good at schools with acceptance rates below ~25-30%. However, this should not deter you from your general goal of studying at a top quality school in the U.S.

Listen to merc81, target schools with acceptance rates above 30%.

Retake the SAT Reasoning.
Apply to Pomona, since for admissions and financial aid it treats all students graduating from a US high school in the same way regardless of status.
Some states also consider students who graduate from a state high school as residents.
If your family makes 65k or less, you can also apply through Questbridge and have your full need met, but you ought to hurry as the deadline for Questbridge is 9/23.

I’m already applying to Questbridge, so I hope it goes well for me… I’ll look into Pomona and state schools. Thank you
