Thanks for the reply!
I am indeed applying for finaid only for the schools that are need-blind. My parents have said that they would be happy to send me to a prestigious school for full-pay, but they would like me to apply for financial aid where possible (as long as it doesn’t affect my chances) since college is still a hefty sum to say the least. This is why my list is so reach heavy - I have secured safeties within my country and we believe it will only be an investment worth making over the safeties if the school I attend has great grad school placement, opportunities, and prestige.
