Then in my opinion, you need a very different list of colleges if you need a lot of financial aid. As noted above, most of the schools on your list will likely be unaffordable.
If you give folks here some additional information, they might be able to help you:
- How much can your family contribute annually towards your college costs?
- In the U.S. what exactly are you looking for…urban/suburban/rural, college size, geographic location, potential majors, ease of transport to go home, etc?
- Have you researched colleges that are affordable in whatever your home country is (I agree, this is very confusing).
- Where do your parents reside? Here, that will be considered your permanent residence…you don’t get to pick and choose.
And
- When will you finish high school?
