<p>Here is my situation, I tried to avoid using "I" as much as possible, because it gets boring when you read it ...</p>

<p>I have top grades, 10 out of 10 in all subjects which include History, Italian, English (which is not my native language, I'm an international student) Biology, Advanced Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Advanced Maths, Geography, History of Arts and 6 more. 120 hours of volunteer work at school helping teachers, students etc ... President of the Senate of my High school. I've also registered and participated different courses: Chemistry, Physics and Italian while for this year, I'm planing to attend Literature, Biology and Maths Courses. I'm part of the Outdoor Ambassadors (an organization dedicated to environmental issues) and the "leader" of the branch for the young people of Gora Organization (a patriotic/cultural organization ).
This summer I worked as a waiter in the best lounge bar in town, and also DJ-ed in a dozen of parties in a Club + won a competition within the Outdoor Ambassadors , that grants you the right to participate in a 4-days-long camping activity organized by this organization.
I'm also writing a book aimed for ninth graders which includes theory and practice tests-Chemistry.</p>

<p>I'm good at drawing and I also play the piano, which I'm not very good at ... I collected this school year 245.4 out of 245.6 possible points :-)</p>

<p>With my headmaster, teachers, employers references, (they'd highly suggest any university to accept me as a student) all the great grades/volunteer work, leadership positions, training activites I've participated, competitions I've won etc. 2000-2100 SAT points, 100+TOEFL points, nice SAT II subjects scores in Biology and Maths lvl 2 and a good essay that describes my difficult unique life, inspirations etc. , what are my chances to get into Princeton?</p>

<p>Which are the best Universities/Colleges for International students with the highest scholarship rates in New Jersey and the states around? Plz help :-)
Thanks to all of those who gives me this valuable information.</p>

<p>Sorry for using "I" so many times :|</p>

<p>Good financial aid is hard to come by for international students. How much aid are you looking for? Your stats are probably within Princeton’s range, though your SAT is low.</p>

<p>You might try this thread:

<p>The international student forum could also be useful.</p>

<p>Not sure what you mean by highest scholarship rates. Do you mean percentage receiving scholarships (financial aid) or do you mean most selective schools or do you mean something else altogether?</p>

<p>Princeton admissions are random. You’re competing with the best students from all over the world. Nobody can count on getting in.</p>

<p>If I were you and I really wanted to study in the US, I’d identify some more practical options.</p>

<p>Start with majors; what do you want to study? Essentially every school has a math department, though the offerings can vary. Not everyone offers architecture, Greek literature, or aerospace engineering.</p>

<p>Do you need to be in the mid-Atlantic area?</p>

<p>How big should the school be? In a big city, small town, middle of nowhere? Or doesn’t it matter?</p>

<p>Are you looking for a large international community or a place where few students have ever travelled out of state or something else or doesn’t it matter?</p>

<p>Costs will be a major factor. How much can you afford? Will you apply for aid, either merit or need-based?</p>

<p>Excellent students are studying at many schools. Some of the less selective colleges have special honors programs to challenge the most advanced. </p>

<p>You may get a lot of suggestions for places you’ve never heard of. Investigate them anyway. Don’t let supposed prestige determine where you go.</p>

<p>If you need money, you need to be reading through the information in the Financial Aid Forum and in the International Students Forum. Those places are where you are likely to find out about institutions that you can afford.</p>

<p>If you need money, and your are hell-bent on studying in the US, you cannot be picky about the part of the country you are in. You will have to go wherever it is that you can afford. Many of the big scholarships for internationals have application dates of December 1, so you need to take care of this NOW.</p>
