<p>Hi all.
As an international student who wishes to attend a university in the US, I have spent the past month(s) searching for universities that I would like to attend, universities that I feel I would fit in, but that will also accept me as a freshman candidate. First of all, here's a little info about myself: I am a high school senior from southeastern Europe, am interested in studying Economics/Applied Mathematics/Finance, went to a high school where classes were held in English, top 5% of my class etc. However, the costs of education and the costs of living in the US compared to my country are much, much higher, which is why the main factor which decides where I apply is the amount of financial aid that I could possibly receive. Now I do realize that only(approximately) 5% of international students actually get accepted into these universities, but I am still curious, if anyone is willing to share some information on which of these schools might possibly offer me better financial assistance compared to the others?</p>
<p>[Financial</a> Aid for International Students: Office of Undergraduate Admission - Northwestern University](<a href=“http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/financial-aid/financial-aid-for-international-students.html]Financial”>International Student Aid: Undergraduate Admissions - Northwestern University)</p>
<p>All of those schools provide generous financial aid to admitted international students with need. Duke and Northwestern are generally more generous than WUSTL.</p>
