<p>Thanks for the advice! Is there not a need-blind financial aid system for most of the private universities such as the Ivy Leagues? I don’t really understand how their safety could be my match?? Is that because I am an international applicant or because of finances available to me? Thanks for the sites as well! I’ve looked through most of them already, but there are a couple I haven’t seen or heard of before, so I’ll go through those! To find those counselors would I just go to the American Consulate and ask if they no of anyone? - or would you recommend another path? Thanks again for your support and advice!</p>
