I am an international student who wishes to study abroad in the US. I am a sophomore.

the Ivy League (…has always been my dream). How can I get a decent scholarship too because my family’s annual income is not enough to pay off the exorbitant tuition fees entailed with any of the Ivies! And Is it possible for an international student to get full scholarship?

…Do you think my chances are high?

Nobody’s chances for admission to schools with single digit admit rates are high. Unless the schools you apply to are need blind, the fact that you need money may factor into the admission decision too. Apply to the Ivies if you believe you’re competitive, but be realistic about your chances. Make sure you have backups.

Do as well as you can on the standardized tests then try to locate some schools where you’re competitive for your stats and that offer aid to internationals. Post #7 has a link to some colleges that offer some scholarships. Apply to some schools in your country, too, so you have options if the Ivies don’t work out.

Good luck.
