Basically I’m an American that moves around a lot for my parent’s job. At the time of graduation, I’ll have spent 10 years living abroad, across three instances. I don’t need financial aid, but would be interested in merit based aid provided that it doesn’t slander my chances. I’m a strong essay writer (predicted 777 in my HL’s) and will be having strong rec’s .

If I’m completely out of my league, any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
