<p>Hey everyone,</p>

<p>I am an international student with a SAT score of 2120 and IB predicted grades 40/45. Please recommend me a few liberal arts colleges that are strong in computer science and give financial aid to international students.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Computer science is Greek to me (as is the IB system so I can’t tell how good your grades are…), but if Grinnell’s department sounds good to you based on the website: </p>

<p>A fabulous liberal arts college, very attractive school for International students (who comprise about 12% of the student body) and known for good FA and merit aid (not sure if merit is given to International or not).

<p>There are threads in here about how to find schools generous with FA to international students. Start your search there, since that is more of a limiting factor than “LAC with good CS”.</p>
