Suggestions for universities in international relations (int. student +high need-based sholarships)

Good luck! Very little need based for international students in US.
Maybe look for universities in Europe.

International student feeling so stressed and unsure because of “test optional”

Hi, I am an international student and SATs and ACTs are not really offered in my country (at least not in my school). There are approaches that I can use to take the tests (e.g. Travelling to another place, do quarantine, and take the tests), but all of them are either time or money-consuming. I know that almost all universities are still going test optional this year, but I am thinking about applying to Georgetown University and I don’t know if this is a valid reason for explaining why I don’t have a test score. I also heard that from the stats, those who had scores last year generally got better results… But again, I’m not sure if the situation is the same this year. But I am also not sure if it is better for international applicants to have the scores… My GPAs are pretty good and my ECs are fine, but I am not sure if those from international schools are that recognized or not. So I really don’t know whether standardized tests worth me taking so much time and money or not…
