It would sort of help if we know how qualified you are. Where are the details one would expect from a Marketer? Market yourself!

You have a lot of strengths. Your SAT Math is good, but your CR and W sections need a boost.

Are you sure you want to major in Business/Marketing? Why not major in a traditional field like Economics or Political Science and get a MBA later (lafter 4 or 5 years of work experience)?

The problem will be finding schools that give generous aid to international students. Not many schools do. Indiana University-Bloomington may be able to offer some aid and it is not too expensive to start with. You are virtually guaranteed admission into IU and you should get a decent scholraship. There are only 8 or 9 colleges and universities that are need-blind when it comes to aid to international students. All of them are mega-selective and only one (MIT) offers Business to undergrads.
