<p>ALSO, wht do recruiters think of these students?

from what i heard, college of w&m isn’t as good…?</p>
<p>go to the best school you can get into for what you want to study. the difference in how they treat international students will be small. Worry more about how other students will treat you. Which is not related to the school, more the place (ie don’t do to Texas a&m)</p>
<p>I wouldn’t apply to any of the big U schools as an international with money issues. I would find smaller schools in search of internationals and those that help out financially. Then I would do well in my undergraduate studies. Where you go doesn’t matter as much as being in a place that accentuates your strengths and where you can shine. If you have the stats for places like Williams great, Middlebury fine and even smaller less known places like College of Wooster. Again, it is what you do with what you get! The big Us are great for instate students and those who don’t have to worry about money. They are the only way for grad studies. Just my point of view.</p>
<p>petepete, can you get your hands on a copy of Rugg’s guide to schools? Maybe at a library? If not post again on Monday and I will be at my school and I will check it out for your needs and post back again. What it does is show schools that have strengths in certain areas and the size of the schools. Then you have to do your own research to see which schools may want you and that you like, that is if you are looking for money. There are the big names that get thrown around this site, but there are so many! And good ones!</p>

<p>If you need financial aid, do not apply to the big public universities. They offer very little if any financial aid for international and out-of-state students. And with a recession possible in the US, that will only get worse. Concentrate on private schools which tend to have more money for internationals. On your original list only three schools are private:
Cornell University
USC
Middlebury</p>
Most of the top US universities consider a strong foundation in the liberal arts as the strength of their undergraduate education. Are you saying a US college degree is useless outside the United States?</p>
<p>“…prestigious Undergraduate College combines the best of both worlds - a strong foundation in the liberal arts with a broad array of coursework in the…”</p>
<p>Liberal arts is ok only if you are pursuing a professional degree such a Law, Medicine, etc otherwise you end up asking: How do you want your french fries?</p>
