Hello all that are willing to help me :P

I'm and international student (Indian citizen living in Venezuela) that is considering applying, but I need to know whether I stand a good chance or not. Here are some quick numbers:
SAT: 1410 (690 Math & 720 Verbal)
SAT IIs (Retaking): Math IIC - 700, Writing - 640, and Physics - 640
GPA: 3.34 on a 4.0 scale
Rank: Approx. top 20%

Oh, and here is just some side info:
- Doing full IB with 4 Higher Level courses.
- Go to an American International School in Caracas, Venezuela.
- Can only pay about $6000 per year.
- Need A LOT of financial-aid.

If I can't get into this college, could you suggest places where I could get in? And also, if it's not too much trouble, a few places that would quite possibly offer me a merit award and need-based aid? Thank you very much for those who help me out! It's very much appreciated, and if anyone needs help, please free to ask me.

Hm... Wiki, don't give up that easily, dude. Get your scores/grades up and write brilliant admissions essays. Oh, and listen to Alice In Chains! Hehe.

But, anymore suggestions for me or Mr. Wiki here?

Well, from what I've heard, their aid is competitive. That's why I'm asking asking people about my chances there. If I have a decent chance of getting in, I might have a decent chance of getting aid as well, ya know?
