<p>I can’t offer much help with the financial aid situation but i can offer you advice on the feel for some of your schools since you are an international student.
University of Wisconsin is absolutely beautiful but the winters are wicked and they last from october(ish) to april. The temp is very very cold.
I’ve heard great things about Michigan- but once again the weather is awful.
On the other hand William and Mary is another great school ( my brother goes there) but every time i visit i wonder why students like it. Every building is brick and its stuck in the middle of a colonial tourist trap. Honestly you walk right off campus and you see people dressed up as colonial people- its bizarre. The weather at the beginning of the school year and at the end is dreadfully hot, muggy and humid.
Personally i do not like NYU at all. i live about an hour outside of the city and have no desire to ever live or attend school there. At night i do not feel safe walking around and in the day its just nothing special. Pretty much all of your other universities have campuses and NYU is just scattered around the city.If your a city person you may love it but I’d take that off your list.
And since i live in New Jersey i know TONS of people who go to Penn State and its just a huge party school. Plus the majority of people who go there are from Pennsylvania.
Indiana University is beautiful!! i love it! its on my list of schools as well and with your scores you should have no problem getting in.
Also if you are hoping to get into cornell, i’d get your SAT scores up.
** Penn State & University of Wisconsin are HUGE schools! </p>
<p>hope this helps you!</p>
