Question
Susie:
I'm a Colombian girl who wants to study in the USA (geology, physics, related majors). I am looking for a college or university that awards generous international aid.
Besides, I'm a very good student (top 10%)and unweighted GPA of 3.4
I took the SAT and got 590 in CR 610 in Writing and 740 in Math.
Which would be the schools that match my interests and that would be willing to award me a grant or a scolarship?
Thank you.
Money is pretty tight at most colleges right now. I would suggest you apply to some private colleges and universities that offer good programs in physics. You can do an online search to find a few good ones. Go to collegeboard.com to start. You will need to submit an application for financial aid and also apply for any merit scholarships the schools might offer.
