Without your SAT/ACT results there’s not much we can tell you, since they will be a key factor used to evaluate you. Your ability to get in with the substantial (almost full) financial aid is partly based on your competition, both from your own country and your part of the world. If you’re Indian or mainland Chinese… well, let’s just say you will be competing with hundreds of top students from your country. If you’re an underrepresented minority or from an underrepresented country/area (Africa, for example) your odds are better. If you’re female and interested in STEM fields, that’s even better still.

You should be applying to need blind schools (search this thread - there are many posts that list them), schools generous to international students (Alabama) and schools in less popular parts of the U.S.: the south, the middle (called the mid-west) and some generous western states such as Wyoming, Montana, Minnesota, among them.
