<p>Dear CC,</p>
<p>I am an international student.
I took the October SAT and the score will be around 2150.</p>
<p>I really want colleges located in busy cities like NYU, and have less Asian students(not racism) .</p>
<p>My major will be finance and will learn a foreign language like german.</p>
<p>Are you determined to major in finance, or are you open to alternatives such as economics? Many selective schools don’t offer a finance major.</p>
<p>What about costs? How much is your family able and willing to pay? Many schools have little or no need-based aid for international students.</p>
<p>The University of Pennsylvania is located in a busy city (Philadelphia). Its Wharton School does offer a finance major. It is one of the top colleges for aid to international students ([Top</a> 25 Financial Aid Colleges in US for International Students (Need-aware) - Desperate Guide: Undergraduate College Financial Aid, Scholarship](<a href=“http://www.desperateguide.com/us/top-25-financial-aid-colleges-in-us-for-international-students-need-aware]Top”>http://www.desperateguide.com/us/top-25-financial-aid-colleges-in-us-for-international-students-need-aware)). However, it also is one of America’s most selective schools. In 2012-13, about 19% of Penn’s first year students were Asians. You can look up Asian enrollments in each school’s Common Data Set, section B. </p>
<p>Large state universities are more likely to have finance majors than selective private schools. However, state universities are less likely to offer need-based aid to internationals.</p>
