Your status as a foreigner (if I understand you correctly) and your residence in American Samoa (ordinarily an attractive characteristic in a high-scoring student) makes you a difficult person to advise. I can’t help thinking that a school like Georgetown with its long history of global reach would be interested (esp. if you were Filipino) in such an applicant. Whether they would be interested to the tune of 45K/year is the problem. I would put Tufts in this category, too, and perhaps Chicago and Duke. But LACs? I’d go with the usual int’l aid suspects: amherst, williams, bates, skidmore, trinity college, but only skidmore and trinity have IR.
