<p>Financial aid for international students is almost unheard of. It will be largely in the form of loans.</p>

<p>And that is IF you even get in.</p>

4

<p>that's one thing...what about chances...anyone? i'm trying to improve my resume cause i know it doesn't look attractive enough</p>

5

<p>International and financial aid?</p>

<p>All these schools will very likely reject you.</p>

<p>columbia: REJECT
chicago: REJECT
tufts: REJECT
northwestern: REJECT
NYU: Unlikely/ REJECT
swarthmore: REJECT
middlebury: REJECT</p>

<p>Although the international+fin.aid does hurt you, you never know until you try.</p>

8

<p>yeah thanks!
im picking lower schools too but those are schools that i REALLY wanna get into.
what else can i improve to become qualified?</p>

<p>hello? any comments please//</p>

<p>InMyMemory-</p>

<p>Admissions for international students is often NOT need blind. So it can hurt you.</p>

11

<p>i have to ask for it...
so i want to know if there's something i can improve//</p>

12

<p>You need to focus on one or two real extracurriculars and raise your SATs only if you can. I'm not an expert, but you seem pretty solid to me and I say go for all of those schools. Columbia is a longshot, but your math score should get some attention. Also, make sure your essays are unique, exciting, and reflect something interesting about yourself that makes schools want to have you on their campuses.</p>

13

<p>Also, where are you from? Talk about it and make your culture a big part of your essay if you can.</p>

14

<p>I'm talking about singing in my essay..
about my achiements in singing and
what i've done as a chorus administraor..
I'm not sure if it sound good..
so im planning to write another about my name(i got a boy's name)
:boy-side me & a girl-side me</p>

<p>it'll be helpful if somebody wants to help revise it...</p>

15

<p>You basically need to be a god to get accepted to a good US school from international + fin aid. Like invent facebook godlike.</p>

16

<p>You didn't mention anything about recommendations or essays in your original post. Can you find someone who will vouch for your success and history? </p>

<p>Also, if an essay is required for those school, do a really good job on it. I mean really put your soul into it, and show the admins that you want it more than anyone else. </p>

<p>They have to see/feel it, otherwise you will look like every other smart teen seeking admission.</p>

17

<p>OMG what are these people talking about??? I know plenty of internationals who got in to great US Universities and Colleges with Financial Aid who weren't "gods". I mean they got accepted to places like Harvard, Princeton, Columbia... and smaller colleges like Occidental. jeez. </p>

<p>Middlebury is a place where you can have a shot...and IS NEED-BLIND for international students. Williams is also need-blind, but even so it is very hard to get accepted. </p>

<p>NYU doesn't give any kind of FA to internationals, so forget it. </p>

<p>You can also try My. Holyoke. They give lots of FA for internationals. </p>

<p>ps: good luck! :) and ...where are you from?</p>

18

<p>*Mt.Holyoke. typo :P</p>

19

<p>Isn't that all-female? Is the OP female?</p>

20

<p>in for nyu......and maybe tufts..</p>
