<p>"U MAryland College-Park gives aid?"
No it does not give a dime to internationals...its basically very hard for a state univ. with limited funding to offer aid to internationals...</p>
<p>apply to harvard yale princeton amherst williams and middlebury (and grinnell if you like iowa). You definitely have a shot at getting into one of them with great financial aid. Also, if you want some good scholarship, apply to colgate. I think you have a good shot at getting the AMS (need-based scholarship; all grant). Just a warning: don't set your standard too low/underestimate yourself, as people during the anxious times tend to do.</p>
<p>hello123, that warning truly struck a chord. i can well relate.</p>
<p>Try Drake University. A couple of students from my high school got full rides for their grades and SAT scores. It's a good school and it wants to attract Internationals. I didn't apply there, though.</p>
