You can get full aid, it is just more difficult at schools that are not need-blind (meaning they ignore your need for aid when deciding whether or not to admit you).

You will have to take an exam if English is your second language (I am assuming it is) and you will also submit your grades in school from the year you apply, and most likely the two years before that. They will have applications on their websites that you can print out and send to them. In it you will describe awards you have won, sports you play, instruments you play, art you make, extracurriculars in which you take part and also have to write essays). These will be sent with your grades. You also must have an interview. If you don’t want to pay flying costs, you may interview over the phone with an admissions officer, but you will have to call the admissions office about this.

When applying, you should have:

Mostly “A’s” or the equivalent of A’s in your grades.
You should be balanced with other activities (Community Service, Artistic Pursuits, Sports, academic Competitions.)
