College Exams (SAT`s)/Scholarships

Advertisement


Question
I am a South African and would like to get a scholarship to an American college. I got m750, re690, wr670 for the SATs and will soon write the math, phys and chem subject tests. Where should I apply to ensure I go to as great a college as possible and get a substantial scholarship? (my family is unable to afford most USA universities)
Thanks

Answer
I would suggest you apply to some private universities because they have more money for scholarships and financial aid.  A few good possibilities would be:  Bucknell University,
Lehigh University, Clark University, University of Pennsylvania, Northwestern, Tulane University.
They are all strong schools academically and hopefully will open some opportunities.
