<p>I m from India and applying to TAMU.I am an auto admit(top10% and salutatorian).My stats are-
SAT-1490/2180 (800-M,690-CR,690-W)
SAT Subject-800 M2,790 Chem,770 Phy
I have good extracirriculars and GPA.</p>
<p>But what i m worried about is that i need substancial financial aid(close to full ride). I can only pay about 20000$ for four years. Is there any chance that TAMU will give me such a large scholarship?</p>
<p>i doubt it.</p>
<p>I’d like to see my parents tax money used to provide scholarships for Texans and other US citizens first. A lot of my classmates have stats like yours. Their parents lost a job or lost $ in college funds and they are really worried about being able to afford even in-state tuition. Sorry achiever, nothing personal.</p>
<p>…ditto…</p>
<p>fordprefect, i totally understand what you are trying to say. but you are not giving me the answer i seek.i donot intend to know how you want your parents taxes to be spent. i want to know if you an insight into the universities international aid policies or you know some international who has received full ride.
btw the univ already uses a significant amount of your tax money for us internationals. Acc. to college board it spent $3,904,214 for international scholarship(the info might be a little outdated but, nonetheless, indicative of the trend)</p>
<p>It appears that some posters in other forums also misread your intended question.</p>
<p>Why not consider re-posting your question along the lines of:</p>
<p>I am a student from India applying to Penn, Yale, Wash U, SUNY and Texas A&M.</p>
<p>Here are my stats.</p>
<p>Have any other international students gotten full rides from these colleges?</p>
<p>Or call Financial Aid at Texas A&M. Everyone there is nice.</p>
<p>Best of luck on your search for scholarships. It’s going to be rough for all of us.</p>
