If you are applying as a woman, then Wellesley College and Barnard College.

Otherwise, Stanford, Haverford, Washington & Lee, Duke, Skidmore, Williams, Amherst, Swarthmore, Wesleyan. Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth, Princeton, Columbia.

Cornell, UPenn, and Brown are

NEED aware for International students, they are not NEED-blind so you will never get a full ride from those 3 colleges until the Class of 2029 or beyond.

Keep in mind that every college has a different concept of full-ride or full financial aid.

If you are poor, then you might be lucky enough to get your tuition, room & board, activity fees, and some small amount for travel.

In most cases, Int'l students clearly underestimate the true cost of attending an American college each year. Typically colleges do not pay for your passport, VISAs, test scores, travel, technology (laptops, cell phones, tablets, headphones, etc), books, clothing, personal items (makeup, toiletries, medications), health insurance, travel to and from your home country. When the school is closed during Winter Break, Thanksgiving Break, Spring Break, and Summer break, you will have to fend for yourself in most cases and provide your own food. During summer break, you will have to find temporary housing or go back to your home country.

I would seriously budget $5-$15K per year as a minimum cost even if you get a full-ride need-based scholarship.

Good luck.
