College Search & Selection

<p>Hey guys.
Well, I am having a tough time looking for safety colleges, the ones I am sure to get in. I do see a couple of colleges with a high acceptance rate but it is the financial aid that really bothers me.
I would call myself an average A student graduate with basically B's in pretty much every subject i.e Chem, Physics, Biology and Maths (full credit) and again a B in General Paper (half credit).
I do hold a significant and an miscellany history in ECs: social entrepreneurship, volunteerism, debating, elocution, extempore speeches, art, environmental obeying, basketball and dance.
Also, some good leadership positions.</p>

<p>I just gave my SAT this October and i am hoping for 2000+ as per my preparations. Also, I am giving my Subject tests on Chem, Bio and Maths II, and TOEFL this November.</p>

<p>I would appreciate some insights from the pros on some safety colleges : those which give good financial aid for international student like me and merit scholarship if possible.</p>

<p>Safety schools typically don’t give very good FA - if they did, they’d quickly stop being safety schools cuz everyone would apply to them.</p>

<p>It’s even harder for an Int’l to find safety schools because many schools don’t give much/any aid to int’ls.</p>

<p>There are some schools that give merit scholarships to int’ls for their test scores and GPA, but typically they aren’t “free rides”. </p>

<p>How much will your family pay each year? </p>

<p>I know that Alabama will give an int’l free tuition for a Math + CR SAT of 1400+ and a 3.5 GPA, but the int’l student HAS to be accepted by Dec 1st. So, you’d need to get your app in now since int’l apps take longer to process. And, you’d need to submit the scholarship app.</p>

<p>When will you get your SAT score?</p>
