Thank you for your kind words ^^
I considered Pomona because I read that they have “need-blind admissions and meeting the full demonstrated financial need of all students who enroll”, so even if it’s incredibly competitive I’ll give it a try anyways, just so I can look back without regrets.
Williams also has “one of the most generous and comprehensive financial aid programs in the U.S”; though I don’t know if that applies to INTL I’ll still try CSS. And yes I’ll probably rule out UMich as @tsbna44 suggested, but fingers crossed anyhow
