Chance Me: International from Russia (1550 SAT, 3.7 UW)

For most every school on here, they will determine your need. There are net price calculators. Some say they’re not accurate but perhaps you can have a school do a pre read. It would stink to apply to a $90k school that tells you it’s going to be $70k after need aid.

For a full price that will get you there, apply U of Alabama.

It’s $56,166 COA for international but they give the same merit to international as domestic.

So with $30.5k off automatically based on your stats, you’re in budget.

This way, if another doesn’t work out, you have a home.

If it is decided you do have financial need by the schools, make sure to add Georgetown, Brown, Dartmouth, Wash & Lee, Yale and MIT - not sure if I’m missing any but these are need blind so unlike aomt hold your financial situation against you where others may.
