Hey guys!
USA is the only country of my interest for studying, and that choice is pretty bold considering I’m an international student seeking aid.
I’m very aware of colleges that give out the most aid for students like me, but I also need a safety choice (which is not an Ivy school) that gives much aid.
So if you happen to know any, please write below! Any help is much appreciated.
My profile:
SAT : 1470 (new, CR+W 670, Math 800) – I’m thinking of retaking if my new scores don’t come above 1500
SAT II: Math L2 800, Physics 790 (I might take Biology E too)
TOEFL: 112/120
GPA: 3.8 (it’s kinda different in my country, we have a 5.0 scale and MUCH more subjects than US HS)
Class rank: 1/250 (student of the generation)
Recommendations: I have a great stand on that, whole HS faculty knows it’s my dream to move to USA so they fully support me. Also I have a recommendation from a friend who took my steps before, same school and sport, graduated from both Harvard (bachelor and masters) and Columbia (PHD) two years ago.
If you happen to know where could I get a 85-100% scholarship easier than in schools listed above, I’d love to know that! (maybe NYU, Trinity idk)
I’d like to keep the costs of applying to a minimum…so if my choices are too above my reach, please help me to eliminate some.
