And really hoping to get a financial aid. Not even expecting a full ride, I just hope to get some $ to take the financial burden off for my parents... around $15000~20000
would be awesome...
Which school should I apply for? I am thinking about attending liberal arts
but don't exactly know which school I would be able to get a financial aid.</p>

<p>Schools that I am thinking...
- Amherst
- Williams
- Weslyan
- Carleton
- Vassar
- Grinnell
- Colgate
- Colby</p>

<p>Thanks in advance... your help would be much appreciated...
p.s. You could recommend me other LAC's that I don't have on the list that you think i would be able to get a financial aid.</p>

<p>Swarthmore, REED, Bard, Dont know if you are female, if the answer i yes. All-female colleges (Mt. Holoyoke, Smith e.tc) offer great aid. Middlebury, Macalester, Trinity, Colorado, Hamilton, Lafayette (although a bit stingy for this year). The list goes on. Usually most colleges within 50 in ranking (Please note I am in now way promoting any kind of rankings) offer great finaid for international students and usually % wise higher number of international student. As you donot need full aid (As most of them are need-aware) there is going to be a advantage but only slightly.</p>
