<p>Hi, so I’m currently an international student at a college in America. I just completed my first year and my cumulative GPA is 3.75 and I am hoping to bring it up next semester before I send out my transfer application. My composite SAT score is 2110 and I did well in high school. I got 7A<em>s and an A in my O Levels and an A</em> and 3A’s in my A levels. I intend to major in Mathematics and want to take at least one actuarial exam before I graduate. I currently go to a private liberal arts college and I’m getting a nice scholarship from them currently. Even though it’s a good school I really want to go to a school where they have a good math program. The only problem is I don’t know where to apply. I really like NYU Stern and Columbia but am I being too ambitious? Obviously money is also important and I can’t burden my parents with more responsibility than they already have and I don’t know if I will be able to get a scholarship at these places with my grades. Are there schools with good math programs that give merit/financial aid to international students?</p>
<p>They don’t give merit scholarships regardless. At least those schools. </p>
<p>It’s all financial aid </p>
