<p>Even for domestic students, one can only guess whether someone will be accepted to a selective school. It’s even more difficult to make guesses about international students, especially when financial aid is involved. Have you taken a look at the International Students Thread? ([International</a> Students - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/international-students/]International”>International Students - College Confidential Forums)) Good luck!</p>

<p>You will likely get into a majority of those universities, however, because there are no “formulas”, there are no definite answers.</p>

<p>I like your list of universities, by the way.</p>

<p>Emory and at least some of the other universities say they make their admission decisions without considering financial aid.</p>

<p>There are two kinds of financial aid, government and private. Government aid is restricted to US citizens. You will want to discuss your prospects for private financial aid directly with each university.</p>
