Suggest schools for me
Answered

I am an international student from India. I'm a senior, 4.0 GPA, not taken SAT/ACT yet due to Covid, but will on 28 August. I want to major in English lit. I got a book of poems published from a local publication, I proof for Distributed Proofreaders, and I also like learning languages and I volunteer as translator for audiopedia, will also start translating for Translators Without Borders once I turn 18. Those are my major ecs, and I only have one award- I got a six month scholarship from my school for my tenth grade result. I need financial aid. Please suggest some schools for me, I am at a loss.

We need more information if you want people to suggest schools for you. Right now we only know you want to major in English literature but you can find that at basically every school. Do you know the size of school you want? Location?

I'd also recommend filling out your information in our chancing profile and then going here: https://www.collegevine.com/schools/hub/all/canvas to start exploring schools. You can filter by different factors which matter to you and you'll have a sense of what schools are reach, target, safeties.

The things I listed are the only things I'm looking for in a school- an English Lit course and some good aid. I have found that people in my situation can't usually afford to be very picky, lol. I tried the chancing profile, but it keeps asking me to improve my course load by taking APs, but my school doesn't offer them and I can't afford them -story of my life:)- so I was asking here. It would be really helpful if you could give some suggestions.

Ok, you don't even have a specific part of the country you'd like to look into? Or anything in particular you are looking for in a school besides major? I completely understand not wanting to be picky but it's difficult to create a good list without some direction. In terms of schools which offer good aid check out this list: https://blog.collegevine.com/schools-that-grant-financial-aid-to-international-students-a-complete-list/ it covers all schools that give aid to international students.

My comment got cut short but depending on how much aid you need can determine which schools to look into. Many of the more prestigious schools in the US offer pretty good aid to international students.

Thank you so much. I am scared of extreme winters , but if I get into Harvard/Columbia/Amherst I'm going. Even if I freeze to death. Sorry for being so dramatic :))) Thanks once again.
