Chance an African [international] student. Be brutally honest [4A,1B A-levels, 1/126 rank, 1570 SAT, need lots of FA, computer science]

I agree with this. And there are, in fact, need-aware schools that would find a high-scoring, male, African international highly desirable. A tippy-top NESCAC college like Wesleyan University is nominally need-aware - but only at the margins and usually only for the last 5% or so of the admits - in other words, for borderline applicants.
