All are need aware international. They may or may not hit your price but if you need too much $$, they may say no for that reason

I don’t think you get into any but Dickinson is the best chance.

Good luck.

Are these the only colleges you are applying to? Would you like some suggestions of colleges that will come in at your price point with a reasonable chance of acceptance?

Or do you already have these affordable colleges in your home country?

oh i didn’t know the tags were for colleges im applying to, sorry! they are few i am considering and asking here for some recommendations. Yes, i would love to get suggestions please! I thought that’s what people did in match me, uh-oh

5

thank you, i will apply there

6

Still a reach.

You need a safer list - and one you can afford -in my opinion.

7

@joshiksaldfa could you please list the colleges you have already applied to…all of them.

8

Bryn mawr, Carleton, Colgate, Colorado, Denison, Dickinson, Grinnell, Gettysburg, Hamilton, Macalester

I will apply to SIUE, USM and Texas at Arlington. This is my list for now :')

9

You will get into the last three - whether southern miss or southern maine.

So then the question is can you afford them?

10

With my SAT, I will get full ride at USM they said. The other two should be under or within the budget. I’m trying to test my luck with the good LACs. SIUEs are too low-tier and others are too high tier for me. Do you have any recommendation for something in between?

11

You are not going to bear a full ride if that’s what you need.

Schools like Wooster, SUNY Geneseo, Kalamazoo would be great but how can you pay?

That’s the issue.

Full ride = marvelous if you need that.

Best of luck.
