SUNY plattsburgh</p>

<p>also.. in which other universities am i most likely to get a full ride? is it easier for an international to get into a private or public school in the states?</p>

<p>ANSWEEER PLEASE!</p>

<p>You’re not likely to get a full ride from any of these, especially SUNY and UF. The ones that give full rides to internationals are the upper echelons of colleges…harvard, princeton, MIT, etc.</p>

<p>thankkks but in I case i could get a full ride, would it be easier at a private or public school?</p>

4

<p>Private by far. Public schools don’t offer much, if any money to OOS Americans…I can’t imagine them providing anything for internationals.</p>

5

<p>thank youu for your help</p>

6

<p>What are you interested in majoring in?</p>

7

<p>journalism and communications or public health</p>

8

<p>I seriously doubt that you are gonna get a full ride. Ivies and top notch schools are the only ones that give full rides to internationals. Private by far.</p>

9

<p>I wouldn’t expect too much.</p>

<p>Richmond, which is on your list, I hear has a few full-rides. USC has one too. As does Washington University in St. Louis, which is somewhere close to a full-ride, if not completely there. Also, Wake Forest. These are some that come to mind and they are all private universities. Except the caveat is that these full-rides are going to be extremeley tough to compete for and you should be well aware of that.</p>

<p>What is your SAT score?
SUNY Buffalo offers full rides (Presidential Scholarships), and it doesn’t matter if you’re international or not.</p>

12

<p>Need-blind, need-based financial aid only applies to HVP, Dartmouth, Amherst, and one more which I do not know of (there are 6 in total).</p>

13

<p>*NYU AD is also need-blind, need-based, but then you’ll be in the Middle East and not America :P</p>
