@ptyaljandro,
You are an international asking for financial aid. It’s very,very, VERY hard to get accepted if you’re an international student seeking financial aid. I think the only member on this board who received financial aid as an international student is @TomTheCat, so it’s pretty rare. @DiveAlive laid out the realities of applying for financial aid perfectly. If I were you, I’d add a few less selective schools to your list, if possible.

Your application itself seems very good. You seem very involved in athletics, so I would emphasize that on your application. Aside from that, I can’t see much else you can do. Good luck, you’re going to need it.
