Thank you!</p>
<p>Boston Univ., NYU sound OK for your score, but unfortunately they don't give aid to internationals. You may want to look into private liberal arts colleges, some of them may fit your criteria. Good luck! Feel free to ask me any questions. I went through the process last year.</p>
<p>I took IBT +2 Subject tests. Which school could i apply? Thank you all</p>
<p>ah, the thing is, you need to tell us a bit more about yourself.</p>
<p>1) where are you from?
2) what are your ECs?
3) what do you want to study?
4) what kind of college/ college experience are you looking for? e.g. any preferred size, location, whatev..?</p>

<p>The above is going to help you a lot :P. Which year's IOI btw? 07? Also, what is your SAT I score. Financial aid would decrease your chances (sometimes significantly) outside Harvard Yale Princeton MIT Williams and Middlebury.</p>
<p>Thank you. IOI 2006. I haven't taken SAT I. Do you guys think that i really should take SAT I. I am afraid of SAT I and IBT, because my English is not good enough. But i think i can get mediocre scores on IBT and no idea about SAT I. BTW, as i saw on MIT admission page, they announced your situation that whether you need to get financial aid is not considerable to be admit. Is it false?</p>
<p>Oh yes, you need SAT I or ACT to apply to any school (except the few optional ones)</p>
<p>yup, MIT is need-blind even for internationals.</p>
<p>if you think you can do better for IBT, then do IBT. but consider giving SAT a shot. you can try to look at sample questions on the website, or borrow a prep book somewhere, and see if it's manageable. remember to check which schools will accept IBT in lieu of SAT, though.</p>
<p>Ok. Thank you guys i am now beginning to prepare for them.</p>
<p>Great! Good luck for the future!</p>

<p>I go to Covenant College on Lookout Mountain in Georgia, USA. Covenant is a reformed liberal arts college and we have a pretty big number of international students. Covenat gives financial aid to international students as well, if I am not mistaken. You would have to check into it, but that's what I think... I'll put a link at the end of my message in case you're interested. So anyway, they do offer degrees in psychology. We are a small school, just as warning, but there's a really great atmosphere around. We have a lot of international students and a lot of kids who have lived overseas.
here's a link if you're interested:</p>
