Hey,

I am never one to discourage somebody to reach for their ambitions, but you have applied to the toughest schools in the entire nation. Your SAT scores are great, but just not good enough for most of these schools. Plus, you want to study medicine, which will go against you.

Firstly, medicine a very popular choice of study. Secondly, unless you’re very talented (which you may be) and they are adamant that you will get a job in an American hospital upon graduation, it’s not very likely.

You could check out the Five Colleges (Amherst, which is on your list, Mount Holyoke, Smith, Hampshire & UMass). They offer generous aid to internationals (particularly Mount Holyoke, Smith & Amherst)… but as aforementioned, medical studies are very different. Research assiduously before submitting any applications.
