<p>i know I'm nothing special. But in my country very few people score above 2250 in SAT.</p>
<p>Please be specific to each.</p>
<p>Pretty sure most colleges don’t offer international financial aid…</p>
<p>Your clubs look like resume fillers too, especially with math club having a vice president, computer club having chairs, and the physics club having a president. It looks rather ridiculous.</p>
<p>At least 4 of these colleges are need blind.</p>
<p>Where are you from? Those are insane, what about if high school only offer 3 of those. Most of them found by us.</p>
<p>Is it possible? Yes. It is more possible for you than a lot of people because you do have very, very high stats. The top schools on your list are super selective for any and everybody, so getting accepted is the challenge even for those with perfect stats. They are called “lottery ticket” schools and really it is up in the air.</p>
<p>Being an international who wants financial aid, it is important for you to make sure that each of the schools on your list give aid/merit to foreign students. You should also run your family income/asset numbers through the NPCs of some of the schools to make sure they consider you in need. Brown, for instance, does give financial aid, but only if you fulfil THEIR definition of need and if you don’t, you won’t get a dime from them since they don’t give ANY merit money at all. The same with Harvard, Princeton,Stanford, Yale, Cornell and possibly others on your list. So you need to know if you have need as defined by those colleges. Both parents’ incomes and assets, including home equity values are included in most of these schools’ need evaluations.</p>
<p>Thanks a lot.
My parents income is less than 4k. They will fund me from their savings. And our home equity is about 100k without loan in total. Will i qualify for aid?</p>
<p>I say Qunnipiac is your only match. :)</p>
<p>your ECs are still boring. Look at the other international applicants from this forum. In the United States, your activities are extremely important at top schools and they have to be unique. Your activities aren’t rigorous and they are not unique.
I would recommend staying away from the top 30-40 US schools.</p>
<p>Your top schools (10 and up) are really high reaches. Competition for internationals with need is fierce. 11 through 14 seem like good targets.</p>
<p>4.0 and 2360? Please apply to all these schools you’re fine.</p>
<p>It’s pretty funny how someone like @wallrus75 is telling you don’t have a chance when your numbers are better than his are.</p>
