<p>Sammy we are being over-critical about your scores! You have a good shot at some of the schools in your list but the real problem is your need for financial aid.</p>
<p>Among the ivies:
You have a good shot at Cornell and a decent one at Dartmouth! In fact I strongly recommend applying to both. If you want you can apply to other too but the chances there are not high (to say the least).</p>
<p>Among the need blind:
Dartmouth…it is a reach but the chances are still there.</p>
<p>Among the schools in your list:
Cornell(Already discussed), UChicago and UMich (UVa too maybe)(they are stringent with International aid but are state colleges and hence their fees are comparatively low) and LACs (including the only-girls college like Smith Mt. H,etc) are worth trying for.</p>
<p>Schools you should avoid:
ALL the schools in your list are all good schools but the schools I am gonna list are amazingly stringent when it comes to International aid and if you apply then don’t expect that you’d get any financial help:
Northwestern, JHU, Emory and Rice!</p>
<p>You are a girl and if you apply for engineering that would further your chances more but I don’t think you are interested in engineering much, looking at your college list!</p>
<p>So according to me your college list should be:</p>
<p>Cornell (Good shot, and being a girl helps)
Dartmouth (OK not strong shot if you plan to apply at ivies then better shot than others)
Smith<br>
Mt. Holyoke
BYU
Bryn Mawr
Indian Uni (I support your crazy notion and you should apply to another easy school like this)
UChicago
UMich
UVa
and I think you should add a few(1-2) safety colleges too.</p>
<p>Why this list? PM me I’ll discuss it there! This reply is getting ridiculously long! :P</p>
