<p>I know my grades aren't that great. I'll try my best to get good marks in my 12th half yearly and finals, SAT subject tests and TOEFL.</p>

<p>I just wanted to know which colleges I should apply to (preferably top schools, of course) which provide financial aid/scholarships to international students. </p>

<p>My scores aren't great, my app is completely dependent on my October SAT and the subject tests. Please tell me what score I would need with my profile to get into the top colleges like Cornell, stanford, harvard MIT etc</p>

<p>The fact that you spoke in TED would help a lot, but if you’re looking for Cornell, Stanford as such, you MUST AT LEAST get your SAT scores in the 2250 range, subject tests mostly full 800.</p>

<p>It’s hard, so say if you can get yourself approx 2000, try the UCs or public schools like UMich, Carnegie Mellon (at least 2200), which are all set for computer science.</p>

<p>Chance me back :)</p>

<p>But CMU doesn’t give aid to international students, or does it? </p>
