I want to apply to maybe 7 schools in US and 3 in England and Canada cause my parents want me to -_-

I feel like I have too many Reach schools and no safety schools. Any ideas?

“colleges with good financial aid”

You need to check the website of each of these places very carefully, and find out if they award any financial aid to international students. If they don’t, check the Estimated Cost of Attendance for International Students. Can your family pay that much each year? If not, then drop the place from your list. When you apply for your student visa, you will need to demonstrate that you can pay the full Cost of Attendance or you won’t get your visa.
