<p>Hey there guys,
I'm applying to college literally right now, quite a few of my apps are out there.
But I don't feel like I have that ONE special college that I really want to go to or where I feel like I belong because living in India, I have to go by what I read on the internet to decide and college websites don't really give you the real deal.</p>
<p>Anway, I'm looking for a school were I'm likely to get accepted with a 2080 and a 39 IB predicted. I've given 2 sat tests and toefl and stuff so that's not an issue. I don't mind schools with complex supplements, I kind of like writing essays.
I hope it looks nice, like a campus with brick buildings and a lot of trees and mainly
SCHOOL SPIRIT. It's upsetting that there are amazing schools but they just don't have sports or anything like that.
I'd like if it was in a nice town/city place where there is a good music scene and that it's safe.
If you know that there is a school like this that also has a good bio program that would be so amazing.
Class sizes don't matter A LOT but medium-ish would be perfect,</p>
<p>and here's the big one, IT NEEDS TO GIVE ME AID. </p>
<p>Thank you for your help, do you have any suggestions?</p>
<p>UCSD is a good fit for u! It has good bio program, and the place is nice too! But today is UC’s deadline~if u applied it, it’s a great choice!
Stanford has good bio program too! It can be ur dream school:)
John Hopkins has good medical program, maybe they have good bio program too!</p>
<p>Are u an international student or an US resident?</p>
<p>With your SAT score its likely a reach for you as it is for me, but it sounds like you would like Vanderbilt. It has a beautiful campus, a great sports program, and its right in the city of Nashville. You’d be able to honky-tonk the night away! Haha!</p>
<p>OP: UC’s are a terrible choice if you need financial aid, whether you’re a citizen or not - they cost $50,000 if you’re not a CA resident.</p>
<p>Dec1 is the deadline for many merit scholarship programs. Check out UAlabama (College of Engineering has a full tuition automatic scholarship for your stats), Ole Miss Honors College, U Nebraska-Lincoln, all these schools have strong football programs and if you get into the Honors Program and apply to the HOnors Scholarships it could bring costs down enough.</p>
<p>Most schools that have the best financial aid for internatinoals simply aren’t into college athletics that much, but you could compensate by attending one of these schools that’s in a big city with national professional sports teams (like NFL, NBA…)</p>
<p>Of those that give the most financial aid to students, here are colleges where sports are important: Williams, Colby, Brown, Stanford. Outside of Stanford, none of these are real powerplayers on the collegiate athletics scene like the SEC or Big12 or PAC12 would be.</p>
