Chance me @ Reed, Haverford, Colgate, Grinell, Kenyon,Tufts, and Swarthmore-- International student

I know I sound crazy. But getting my parents to pay an extra 250 EGP is no easy task. Also, I don’t understand why would they want the official reports. It would be easier and cheaper if I self reported them and if I get accepted I would send the official ones. I am applying to about 10 schools. If they all required me to send official reports that would 2500 egp! Even a wealthy family would find it too much for an application. Do bare in mind, Im asking for alot of aid because I NEED it.
