I think I’m in the same boat. My family isn’t incapable but it would be a huge burden and I couldn’t attend if I had to pay full tuition. Columbia is my dream school but what other universities are more friendly in financial aid to international applicants.

At the moment I’m narrowing down NYU, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, UCLA, UCBerkeley, UPenn and UChicago (I have too many Ivys). I know i have a slim chance of getting in as an international applicant, especially if I indicate financial need, which is why I really have to narrow down my choices. Any advice? I’d be very grateful. Thank you.
