I am an international student planning to apply for the USA but finding it really difficult due to my limited budget (18k soft cap 25k hard cap) and am currently banking on getting scholarships from whichever university I end up choosing in the end. planning to take computer science.
Stats:
1520 SAT
94% 11th
predicted for 12th probably gonna be around 90% though the actual marks have gone down a bit but they'll probably recover by the time its finals
8.0 IELTS
Won national level hackathon
organizing my schools first national level hackathon
winning national level chess clusters
bunch of public speaking competitions
I used Ivy assistant to create a list of college suggestions for you after plugging in your info:
"They have a strong academic background and impressive extracurriculars, which will be helpful in the admissions process. Here are some college suggestions that offer computer science programs and might fit within their budget constraints:
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities
University of Houston, Main Campus
Arizona State University, Tempe
University at Buffalo, SUNY
University of North Texas
It's important to note that financial aid and scholarship opportunities vary for international students. I recommend your friend research each college's website for information on scholarships and financial aid specifically for international students.
In addition to researching individual colleges, they may also want to look into external scholarships and grants that can help cover the cost of attending college in the U.S."
Hope this helps!
