College List (Liberal Art Colleges) as an International Student - Business Programs / related resources

  1. Looking for significant aid - efc 20-25k;

  2. Ideally not colleges where social context is negatively a major point

  3. I play soccer, but i do not have enough material to be recruited previously, and a heavy oriented athletic environment maybe wouldn’t suit me well;

Grinnell College
University of Richmond / Washington and Lee (maybe both are too cliquey - please tell me more about those!)
Denison College
Skidmore College
Franklin and Marshall College
Macalester College
Dickinson College
Rhodes College
Union College
DePauw
College of Wooster
Beloit College
Lawrence University
Centre College (Optional, apparently heavy athletic importance)

Can you expand a little more on what you mean by this?

It’s impossible to comment on your college list without any academic context.

I mean too cliquey environments or very notable social bubbles in colleges such as W&Lee and Richmond, specially as I am an international. I know both are top notch for business, so maybe I need more opinions.

Again, can you share your academics? Those will be critical for both admissions and funding chances. Your country of origin might be important too, in terms of whether it might be particularly under- or over-represented in terms of US applications.

Washington and Lee has many international students, from a wide array of countries.

What would you study at schools without business majors, such as at Grinnell?

Could you please do a chance me/match me thread and answer all of the questions on the template? That will help guide folks in giving you suggestions. What you have written here is only part of what is needed to help.

I agree following the full Chance Me/Match Me format would be very helpful.

As part of that, I would also suggest clarifying whether you would prefer an actual undergrad business program.

maybe econ or related. there is a huge business centre there though, as on many other lacs such as colby

ill do it as im new usei i cannot edit here

You can do a chance me/match me thread separately. And then post here saying you have done so! Thanks!

People who target business or econ as majors often see those as good pathways to jobs after undergrad. If it is your goal to get a job in the US after graduation, the path to getting a visa post graduation is not easy. As a general business or econ major, it is unlikely that an H-1B path is available. Don’t know your intent post graduation, but I would not plan on attending a US college as an immigration strategy.

Please see OP’s chance me and comment there. Thanks!
