<p>I am an International student from Bangladesh applying for fall 2013 and I am having some trouble deciding which colleges I should apply to.
My high school is only allowing me to apply to 6 colleges this year, so my shortlist is really constricted without much space for 'safety' schools.</p>
<p>I'm very flexible about location and type of college, but i would prefer a sub-urban environment, but rural or urban is fine too.</p>
<p>I am in need of a lot of financial aid so I am mostly applying to colleges which provide a lot of financial aid to international students.</p>
<p>My stats:
SAT reasoning: 2310 (CR: 800, MA: 800, WR: 710)</p>
<p>SAT 2: physics:800 Math L2: 800 Chemistry: 780</p>
<p>Not sure about my GPA but i have straight As in O and A levels</p>
<p>Class rank: don't know as my high school doesn't rank, but definitely in the top 5%</p>
<p>EC: Music, mainly vocals and a few unorthodox instruments. Sports like cricket, soccer, badminton, Although there are no certificates to show. Photography.</p>
<p>Volunteer work: worked with underprivileged kids for a good part of the year, also worked in other projects like city clean up.</p>
<p>Work Experience: Worked in 2 NGOs on violations against journalists.</p>
<p>College List:
Amherst
Dartmouth (as they are need blind for international students)</p>
<p>Tufts ( want to do ED2 here, I really like this university)</p>
<p>Grinnell
Bates a
Trinity College
Elizabethtown
Williams
Colgate
Vassar</p>
<p>Also i at least one to have one sure safety and I haven't listed any safety schools above, If anyone has any suggestions it would be really appreciated.</p>
<p>Also feel free to suggest other colleges that provide a fair amount of aid to int' students.</p>
