As a resource with respect to your interest in economics, consider https://ideas.repec.org/top/top.uslacecon.html.
Generally, however, though you’ve listed some excellent, well-funded schools, note that all are likely to be extremely competitive for an international applicant seeking substantial financial assistance.
Are you female? If so you may want to add some women’s colleges, which tend to be excellent and some offer both merit and need-based ais.
Wellesley – need and merit – can take some classes at MIT
Mt. Holyoke – need and merit (and in consortium with Amherst, Smith, UMass Amherst, Hampshire)
Smith – need and merit (and in consortium with Amherst, Mt. H, UMass Amherst, Hampshire)
Bryn Mawr – need and merit (and in consortium with Haverford, Swarthmore, UPenn)
Barnard – and in same uni system as Columbia
Scripps – and in consortium with several other top LACs including Pomona, CMC, Pitzer, Harvey Mudd
What can you afford?
Do you have affordable safeties in your home country?
Do you have a GPA, or grades of some kind? If so, how do they compare with others in your high school?
i am in top 5% of my class , i am male. yes i have safties in my home country (india ). my parents can contribute around 6000 bucks a year .
Colleges that meet full need are incredibly competitive for even domestic students. What are your options in India? Even if you got acceptance to a full need meeting school, $6000 will not cover transportation, basic living, etc. it might be difficult to obtain a student visa in that situation.
please tell me abput chances ?
10% because at this point you have the stats but it’ll be all about how much you can contribute financially.
6000 dollars a year
can take loan too
It’s impossible to tell you your chances.
I want to add the school Union in Schenectady NY – they tend to have good financial aid and they have the programs that you’re interested in.
Best of luck.
ok then please tell me similar colleges .
and how can i increase my chances
International students who need significant financial aid generally are tough admits to get. The international acceptance rate is in the single digits at many US colleges/unis.
Some posters have asked questions of you in order to suggest possible schools, and you should answer those. Most importantly, what is your GPA and/or grades? Course rigor?
6K will cover transportation, personal expenses, books, and health insurance. I’ve seen students get visas with less if they had a full ride.
sir have you seen students getting in these universities with similar condition as my . specially skidmore as it’s my first choice.
Well, they’ll admit maybe one or two per year. So, it’s luck, plain and simple. You can’t know whether they’ll want you to be the one or not.
I agree that the competition is tough for international students. It’s great that you have safeties in your home country. Just do your best.
