<p>I will need financial aid.</p>

<p>I plan to apply to :
-Brown ED
-Columbia
-Barnard
-Vassar
-Bard
-Hamilton</p>

<p>Bard, Barnard, and Hamilton look like good matches. Vassar is a slight reach, and Brown and Columbia look like pretty big reaches. The poetry book will help though.</p>

<p>Columbia is your only big reach.</p>

<p>Brown is a big reach, too, with those SATIs. And this is an international applicant.</p>

<p>Brown ED and Columbie you got a defff chance</p>

<p>Thnx. I know my SAT's were a bit low but I hope to improve them. I wasn't really used to this kind of exams :)</p>

<p>I am also a bit skeptic about how will the admission board take in consideration my awards. I have 1 Honorable Mention at the National Physics Olympiad , which puts me in the top 20 in my country, 1 Honorable Mention and Silver Medal at the National Mathematics Olympiad and National 1st Prizes for Literature.</p>
