<p>I am looking for colleges/ universities having :
-Major Business (with good rankings/ reputation etc)
-Generous to International Students (No matter it is need-based financial aid or merit-based scholarships. It's better if family contribution is less than 10.000USD/year).
-Coed or Women is okay.</p>
<p>Do you know any? Help me please. Thank you.</p>
<p>The generous to internationals is the hard part. None of the need blind schools for internationals have top business programs. </p>
<p>Penn gives generous need based aid to a few, NYU gives merit to very, very top students, USC to strong students.</p>
<p>Getting it down to $10K will be tough.</p>
<p>@hmom5: Thank you.</p>
<p>Does anyone know other schools? Top Economics program is also okay, although I like Business more. But these schools have to be generous to international students. They don’t need to be need-blind, but they usually gave good financial aid packages to international ones.</p>
<p>I really need your help, everyone. Please suggest me some schools.</p>
<p>Do you have very good stats? What country are you from?</p>
<p>Here my stats.</p>
<p>Female.
Class rank: Top 10%.
Honor Student. A famous High School For The Gifted in Vietnam (Southeast Asia).
Course load: Heavy. Three major subjects: Advanced Maths, Advanced Chemistry, Advanced Physics. Others: Advanced English, Literature, Geography, History, Civic Education, Physical Education, Technology, Biology, Informatics.
GPA: Excellent range in all 12 subjects.</p>
<p>SAT I: 1960 (590 CR 730 M 640 W). I will retake it in October to get >2200.
SAT II: Maths II 800 - Maths I 750 - Chem 760. I will take U.S His, World His and Physics in December (I’m sure I can get >700 each).
TOEFL: not taken yet, maybe >100 I guess. In fact I don’t want to take it 'cause it costs much, so I prefer schools do not REQUIRE TOEFL or those waive it if SAT CR>600 or >650 or so. But if necessary, I will take it.</p>
<p>Prizes: one National Olympiad Prize and several Regional Olympiad Prizes (in Maths). Some in First Aid, Eloquence, Writing contests etc
Very good EC (one leader and one vice-leader and many others include sport, community services and academic clubs - with prizes earned; one part-time job in an education center - I can ask my boss for a recommendation).
Good recommendations from teachers and counselor (I believe).</p>
<p>Criteria in Choosing Schools:
-Good department in my major (Economics/Business)
-Generous Financial Aid to International Students. I’m sad to say that my family can only contribute a maximum 10.000USD/year. I know this will hurt my chance but I cannot help it. </p>
<p>I’m considering UPenn, Williams, Smith, Mount Holyoke, Bryn Mawr, Drexel. Can you tell me if these schools fit my criteria and what my chance is?</p>
<p>Suggest me some more schools, please. Thank you.</p>
<p>I think the girls schools could be a good bet for you. Wellesley has an excellent econ dept. It’s a reach with current scores but you’d be a strong candidate with a 2200. Smith and Holyoke are also good choices. NYU and CMU are good business schools that you’d also be a good candidate for with a 2200 but their aid may be difficult to get.</p>
<p>Don’t know how generous Indiana is with internationals but it would be worth a look. Vanderbilt and Emory may be worth an application as I don’t think they get as many applicants from Asia as do the East and West Coast schools.</p>
<p>Thank you, hmom5.</p>
<p>CMU is Carnegie Mellon U, right?</p>
<p>Everyone 
If I only consider Financial Aid factor (ignore the Business/Economics criterion), which schools fit me?
I need some safe and some target choices. Thanks.</p>
