“@MiddleburyDad2 I am aware of the selectivity that full-need-met schools have, do you know if coming from South America would help in any way?”
No idea. Sorry.
@Mrduque, it would only help if for some reason the school decided to increase its number of students from South America. But I don’t think that, in general, South America is an under-represented continent in elite schools.
I think you should. Unfortunately for me my mom said only seven schools…I have a few more on my list hopefully I’ll apply to those too
You could add a few “free to apply” colleges. 
@MYOS1634 sure, I will also ask for a fee waiver to those which require it.
Thanks!
