“You might also look at Canadian universities. They tend to cost less, although I don’t know much about financial aid.”

The best known Canadian universities (such as McGill, Toronto, and UBC) are less expensive than comparable schools in the US but are quite a bit more expensive for international students compared to other “not quite as well known” schools in Canada. Thus if cost is a factor then anyone considering schools in Canada might want to look at the MaClean’s magazine listings to get a list of good universities, and check international pricing for a range of schools. There are quite a few very good schools where the total cost of attendance for international students is very roughly in the range of C$30,000 per year, which is about $24,000 in US dollars. A few such as Memorial University of Newfoundland might be a bit less than this. 1370 SAT might be borderline for McGill and Queens, but should be sufficient along with a 4.0 GPA for most schools in Canada.

I am under the impression that a full scholarship is unlikely for international students. I don’t know about need based aid. Prices would be a bit lower for anyone with Canadian citizenship, or at schools in Quebec for citizens of France.
