<p>I am an international student. This year I'm applying in US colleges but I'm little concerned about my list of colleges. I have 1820 on SAT 1 ( 510 CR/780 M/540 W) and 660 on Physics, 780 on Math 1, 760 on Math 2.
I have also some awards in soccer/ volleyball/ dance competitions/ Math Olympiads and summer work as a cashier and volunteering. My GPA in my country is in the top 5% of all students average GPA. My class rank is 2nd.
The list:
Vanderbilt University
Boston University
Drexel University
Clarkson University
Temple University
WPI
University of San Francisco
University of Florida
Northeastern University
SUNNY Stony Brook
Baylor University
The list is not definite I might clear any university since the deadline is 15 January.
Please advice needed!</p>
<p>You should consider University of Richmond, though you’re in a complicated situation - your math SAT score is well above the 75% at Richmond, but your Writing & CR are below 25%, so…
Your EC’s(they aren’t bad, though not spectacular) and essays(try your best on Richmond supplement) can get you in. With your stats, I guess you can’t get any merit aid, but if admitted, they’ll meet 100% of your demonstrated need. The deadline is January 15, but I hope you have already applied to at least five or six colleges.</p>
<p>Quote from their page: “The average financial aid award (need-based, merit, etc.) to international students in 2012-13 was $43,975.”</p>
<p>That’s pretty generous, isn’t it?</p>
