Chance and match me (INTERNATIONAL) CS at T-20s and some LAC-s (Financially needy)

Aside from what everybody else wrote, I’ll add that, if you want to apply ED, than Amherst is likely the best choice, if you are interested in attending a small rural liberal arts college. Amherst is one of the very few colleges which are need blind for international students. None of the other LACs on your list are, and most are not full need met, so they are likely not even affordable if you are accepted.

I will still repeat, that all colleges are reaches if you need financial aid. So you have to convince them not only to accept you, but to pay for you. Your profile is great, so you have a chance, but it’s only a chance. Nothing is even a match - you just have reaches.
