<p>the 800 in math is wonderful but the CR and W scores a bt low especially for some of the LACs you are looking at. your ECs are spectacular though. i assume that you have posted the list with some order in mind as similarly ranked schools are on the same line. if that is true you could start of by trying to eliminate one from each line.</p>

<p>Colby, Sarah Lawrence and Union College (NY?) award very few fin aid packages to internationals. At Colby about 900 internationals applicants competed for less than 10 fin aid packages last year. Sarah Lawrence and Union don't distribute more aid but their's seems to be slightly less competitive.</p>

<p>I have this feeling that everything else is good enuf except for that CR score of yours..especially for Lafayette..for nowadays..internationals are really cranking up the CR scores... so that could be one area of concern if I were you...</p>

<p>the good news is..for Lafayette..the Chinese students contribute a significant part of the incoming internationals... but the bad news is you won't be considered a minority anymore among international students...so they (admission officers)could easily be tempted to take some kid from Africa rather than from China...</p>

<p>If you are an international student looking for aid and a liberal arts college, Ohio Wesleyan will be an excellent school to consider. I am not sure if your results will be competitive for a scholarship but it won't hurt to try.</p>

<p>TOEFL score is not upto par. Retake SATs again.</p>
