<p>Hey! I know it is very late in the year, but I just realized that I did not apply to "safety" schools, especially in terms of money. Could you PLEASE name a couple of places that give VERY generous awards to international students? Maybe it's not too late to apply? </p>

<p>I have GPA around 97 (out of 100), 2130 on SAT, 5 on AP Euro, 4's on AP English Lang. and Amer. Hist; I'm an artist, do volunteer work, theatre, know fluently 2 languages and speak 2 more. However, I just received a letter from one good university stating that unless I have money for the first year (full cost), they can not even CONSIDER my application. These news are extremely painful for me - considering how much hard work I have done for 4 years in US (I live at a boarding school, my entire family is back home). I would GREATLY APPRICIATE your help.</p>

<p>Hasn't your school counselor helped? It's too late to apply for next year at the schools that give good aid.</p>

<p>Where are you from and where have you applied?</p>

<p>Try Berea, gettysburg, and the likes. LACs are most generous</p>

<p>well if you are an inteernational student looking for substantial Financial aid, then there is no such thing as a safety.
You could try University of new Orleans. with ur SAT score, they'd probably give u their full tuition scholarship.
if u r looking for Colleges whose deadlines havent passed yet here are a few
Dickinson college
SaintLawrence University
Trinity University
Gettysburg College
All the above colleges have a First Feb. Deadline. but they are competitive Schools. and not safeties.</p>

<p>And Gettysburg lets you submit everything- even the transcripts- on line. so atleast one deadline u can make.</p>

<p>The councelor helped (and frankly, she pressed for "safer" schools), but I was too self-confident that someone will accept me. Well, now I am down to earth - unfortunatelly late.
I'm from Moldova (Eastern Europe), and applied to a huge number of schools: WashU, Princeton, Brown, Amherst, Brandies, Rice, Duke, Richmond, Mount Holyoke, Bates.... I tried to increase my chance of getting the financial aid I need.</p>

7

<p>The colleges that you've already applied to offer full demonstrated financial need. Karpov, the deadlines for Gettysburg, Trinity passed long ago!</p>

8

<p>Gettysburg deadline hasn't passed. It was extended till theend of this week...I checked with the admissions office!</p>
