Im an international student from Pakistanand thinking of applying to America for my undergrad. But the thing is i cant afford the eduaction and ill probably need full financial aid which makes matters difficult. i plan to do engineering(electrical or mechanical).

My stats are:
Given my O levels 5 A’s and 3 B’s (A’s in all physics,chem,maths and english though)
Given my As levels 3A’s,physics,chem,maths)
Sat 2150(750M, 700 in both english sections)
Top 2% of class. The school does not have a GPA.
The grading system of school is very tough( the exams are made tougher than the actual O and A level exams)
Looking to give my Sat2(physics,chem,maths2) in Jan, probably get 800 in each(750 min)

EC: not too many, went to india for a essay writing competition,Hiking(does it count?), a good table tennis player (2nd best in school), helped in organizing events in school (farewells) taken part in model making competition of WWF and a science fair.Tutored my brother and his friends maths and the science subjects.(My school does not have any clubs so thats why they are missing).Done some community service 50(if standing outside a mosque and checking people by hand to prevent a terrorist from getting in, counts as one) about 50 hours.Also was part of a protest organizing commitee for 4 years(My main work is providing food to the protestors) and the one this year was about 25000 to 30000 people. Taken part in 2 science project competition.

Essay will be pretty good

Recomendations: they will be very good.

Another ting is that Yales engineering school is not regarded as the best amongst top schools so does it give me a slightly more chance?.
