Where I should apply Early decision? I am an international student who need financial aid.

High-caliber Universities usually offer more financial aid than less high-caliber ones. I would recommend applying early to your dream schools early and staying on your application that you need 100% financial aid.

Schools with a lower acceptance rate can be a little bit tricky because of the number of applications they recieve.

I would advise you to do your research in most private universities since they offer financial aid to international students. If you have a high gpa or your in the 1% of your class and have a good SAT score then go for it. Just make sure you don't chance.

Wish you all the best!

I think you should apply to Stanford University, Brown,etc. In their early decision programs. Although they are more competitive but will surely give you an advantage over regular decision applicants becaUse it will show your increased interest in that specific college as you are ensuring that if you get accepted then you will 💯% attend that university.

So schools that meet full need (EX you need to pay 50k you can pay 20k college covers the 30k beware what type of aid you’d get some schools offer loans as aid) are usually reserved for about half of the ivies and a few other elite private northeast schools. No public school meets full need and all school if I remember correctly that meet full need have. A sub 20% admit rate.
