<p>i don't think you should worry too much about your SAT. Your SAT I is decent, and your SAT II scores are very good.</p>

<p>As for where you should apply, the best way is to look through college websites yourself. You can use Collegeboard's college search to narrow down your choices. Also you can look through old threads in this forum, there are a lot of international students needing financial aid who asked for help here in the past and you can see what colleges they're applying at.</p>

<p>Since finance is an issue for you, you might want to look at universities outside the US as well, to widen your options.</p>
