Luck factors for getting accepted?!

This is shooting yourself in the foot. Do you want to attend college or not? If you do, you need a school somewhere that you can definitely get into and that you can definitely afford. As an international student who is not one of the best in the country and needs full aid, that severely limits your options.

It’s great that you are ambitious, but the reality is that what you seek is something that many international students seek. There is very little money to go around for foreign students seeking 100% financial aid at a US college.

Of colleges that offer full FA to international students, try Skidmore, Davidson and Vassar. They are a tiny bit less selective than almost all the others. Can you pay the application fees for these colleges without causing financial hardship to your family?
