<p>With your grades and test scores, you would have gotten some full rides, had you applied t schools that seek and Pay for students of your calibre. Take a look at Momfromtexas’s full ride scholarship thread. I know a number of kids who got full tuition scholarships here who are not citizens. They did not get them at Columbia or Harvard or MIT. THough if you could get into such school, they will give you the aid on a need blind basis, the competition is fierce. Looking at schools like Providence College or Susquehanna or schools that do not make the tiers in USNWR would have gotten you some awards.</p>
