Finaid Question

Paying for College
1

<p>I am a junior right now and am considered an international when it comes to college financial aid(can't do FAFSA). However I have been living in the US since 7th grade and pretty well into becoming a permanent resident to be a National Merit Semifinalist(Score: 236). Here are my stats so far:</p>

<p>SAT Score: 1520/2260(M 780, CR 740, W 740) - Retaking for 2300+
SATII Subject Test: Bio-790, Math and Chem to be taken
GPA: UW-4.0, W- 5.72
Rank: 1/570
APs: Will have taken 15+ - So far all 5s</p>

<p>ECs
Big Brother/Big Sister mentor
American Red Cross Volunteer – Disaster Relief (150+hrs)
Media Center Volunteer
Peer Tutoring
Science Club Officer
Math Club President hopeful next year
Captain of Calc team
NHS member
Fluent in Java
Will be doing a research project in Summer</p>

<p>Awards
Time Person of the Year 2006
USABO 2006 semifinalist
AMC 10 school winner
Key Scholars
National Merit semifinalist predicted
National AP award</p>

<p>So what I need to know is what schools and programs are favorable for internationals applying for financial aid? I am thinking abt majoring in either premed or business. Is it ridiculously hard for someone like me to apply for finaid in schools like the ivies and top 20 schools. I will definitely apply to WashU for merit awards
Thanks very much for looking</p>

Oi, not this again.</p>

<p>Incidentally, your stats have nothing to do with getting financial aid. It's about getting in first, and then about filing the paperwork about your family's financial history.</p>

<p>Lol kryptonsa, I knew someone would catch it. Are you gonna try USABO again - I remember that you tried last year. Anyways, I just threw my stats out there, in case someone knew of merit scholarships or merit scholarships giving schools out there that I'm competitive for.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply lurkie. Unfortunately, although I have a social security number, I am a nonelegible non citizen according to the FAFSA website.</p>

<p>Any more replies will be greatly appreciated.</p>
