<p>“Financial situation: Pretty. Darn. Bad”</p>
<p>If you need “full aid”, then there aren’t any matches or safeties for you. Only hard to get into reach schools give full aid to int’ls. </p>
<p>If your family can pay $15k - 20k per year, then there are some schools that would give you large scholarships…such as “full tuition”, but your family’s money would then have to pay for room, board, books, fees, personal expenses, int’l travel, etc. </p>
<p>I know that this isn’t the news that you wanted, but think about it. There are literally millions of kids out there with great stats and no money. Obviously, all of these kids would be going to school here if there were lots of schools that would give them money. There aren’t even enough schools/seats for the domestic students who have a lot of need.</p>
