Hi all
I'm a Yank (New Yorker) and just finished the two year process of looking at and applying to colleges in the US northeast with my son. His sister is about to start that process. We looked primarily in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He's going to attend a small college just outside of Boston that has everything he was looking for and offered him a good amount of merit aid.
We used a private college counselor, which was a huge help. He has some accommodations for his now mild ADHD. You can ask me about standardized testing, research websites, applying electronically, how aid is awarded, reputations of specific schools, etc.
I can't be of much help on how the process differs for international students or if particular schools have special scholarships for them. They do all have extensive coverage of the application process on their websites and the admissions staffs are generally excellent about replying to emails.
So have at it.
