<p>this sounds stupid but what are the best schools for physics with generternational students?</p>
<p>sorry generous financial aid for internatinal students</p>
<p>Harvard and the other ivys come to mind. But of course that assumes you have the stats for them. 
It would help if you tell us your stats so we can make informed suggestions.</p>
<p>ok… here goes, I have a fairly decent high school transcript but I don’t know my GPA (i’m an international student) and our school doesnt rank 9though my gc said i’d be in the top 2% out of a class of 164) I have marks in the 90’s in all subjects other than biology where I have a B in the last term.
My SAT score: 1600
I gave SAT 2 in November in writing, Math 2c and physics, I cant really say how i’ve done becoz i dont know… but it wasn’t TOO bad…
ec’s: creative writing: I won the Scholastic short story writing competition 1st prizes in the Eastern zone and All-India catgories,a Times of India essay competition (all india) and a few inter school essay competitions within my hometown.
i help run a shelter for stray dogs
i’ve been playing the guitar for the past 3 years.
I am the president of the school quiz club (i was secretary last year)
i’m one of the founding members of the school computer club
i’m a trained classical kathak dancer.
I’m a school prefect which doesnt really count as an ec
(i know my ec’s are a bit weak but i’m mainly concentrating on maintaining my grades)</p>
<p>Wow. I don’t have the International finaid schools off the top of my head (sorry), but I’d say you’re a pretty respectable candidate anywhere. If you are a good dancer, that might be a portfolio item (doesn’t matter that its not your major - it shows what you can offer to the school).</p>
<p>I agree with Ohio Mom. Harvard, Stanford, Princeton, Cornell would be good choices for financial aid and physics. You should have a very good shot. Good luck!!</p>
<p>thanks a lot</p>
