<p>Not that it matters, but no one would add up SAT2 scores together.</p>

<p>For which schools do you want chances??? There are only 6 schools that are need blind for Internationals:
Princeton
Yale
Harvard
MIT
Dartmouth
Amherst
You have competitive stats but all are reaches (as is for everyone).</p>

4

<p>What about say Stanford/Caltech on EA?</p>

5

<p>Again both reaches for Stanford and Caltech. You stated you need substantial FA which you will not get from these schools. There is nothing wrong in aiming high (if you have the money), but you need to be more realistic and find some schools that will give you FA. I suggest you post in the Internatinal Threads for more help.
Good Luck</p>

<p>International student that needs full aid, there are not many school can do that and they are highly competitive.</p>
